Meditation is a refocusing on symbols. It's not emptiness. We are using symbols, doorways to step from one world to another, from darkness into light, from death to immortality.

Self-acceptance is involved in this process. You have got to be able to look at both your dark and your light side and not get enamored or depressed by either.

If you know that you have had countless lives, then what happens in this life is not quite as traumatic.

Meditate and bath in the light of eternity. Nothing else is worthwhile.

As you become more aware of your own imperfections, you simultaneously become more aware of the overall perfection of the universe.

I was drawn to the arts because I sensed that I was by nature Bohemian, and yet very conservative.

You don't have to meditate. You don't have to practice self-discovery and Buddhism. You should only practice self-discovery if you really have had it with the human world.
