As you sit in this light from week to week, you will transform and grow and develop. It washes away the samskaras, the past-life tendencies. It washes away the karmic tendencies from this life.

We interact with others and we decide who we are. Are we reclusive? Are we outgoing? Are we successful? Are we going to be a failure? We cast a role for ourselves and we step into it.

Focus on an object of some type, hopefully an object that's beautiful or powerful. You could find a pretty colored stone that you just feel good about.

In advanced meditation you become light. You transcend self, ego, time, space, and dimensionality.

Unfortunately we've seen meditation insulted in a sense with the image of ritual. You have to dress a certain way, follow a certain type of lifestyle, all that sort of thing, very culty - and that, of course, has nothing to do with the practice whatsoever.

There is a definite way to do this. There is a training program that you will go through and it's delightful. It's absolutely beautiful.

The person who gives selflessly in this lifetime immediately goes into a better state of mind. That is instant karma.
