I never considered myself to be special. If anything, I considered myself to be awkward, and still do sometimes.

I was sitting outside in our backyard on a summer day, I was around six, and suddenly the whole world dissolved before my eyes and I found myself in a timeless world of light.

Everyone in advanced meditation practice should be involved with the economic support of the spread of the dharma. We live in a material world, and it's very expensive to teach meditation.

Sometimes people start to meditate and they get a headache. It's because they're trying too hard. You're pulling in too much energy.

I enjoy the writings of all of these authors and they have been very inspirational for me. But I think that it is important as writers of metaphysical, New Age, occult fiction and nonfiction to not take ourselves too seriously.

In the chakras, it's the heart chakra, anahata, the central chakra, three above and three below, which symbolizes happiness and love, psychic oneness, spiritual understanding.

Naturally, the Zen Master Rama philosophy is to have a high state of awareness and material success.
