Buddhism is the study of the way the mind works. One has to be able to hold a large number of relational concepts simultaneously in the mind. It is necessary to grid, to literally unlock realities and dimensions with the power of your mind.

People will try to block you. Some will do it just for pure hostility. But most others are just afraid of themselves.

You start meditation as an average human being who is filled with vagueness and not much purpose or definition, who is controlled by their desires, your mind spins all over the place, your senses spin all over the place, out of control.

Compassion and empathy are not the same as feeling sorry for oneself. They are emotions that extend our perceptual ranges.

The people who imprinted us are not completely happy and they are not completely powerful. So naturally, we have to fight our whole life against that imprinting.

If you drain others energy a lot, you don't want to see this because you do it yourself; but remember, it's real easy to manipulate a manipulator.

Without wisdom, power tends to destroy the one who wields it.
