Karma is not a cop-out. The esoteric meaning of karma is that you are who you are, because of what you have done and who you have been.

Your life can be horrible or it can be incredibly beautiful. It can be boring or exciting. It's seldom in between. Your active use of will determines what will happen to you in this and other lives.

Samadhi is not going to take away your humanity. It will give it to you. You will become more cosmopolitan, more conscious, and more infinite.

Powerful people affect many others and if I can in some way contribute to their awareness, they will put out better energy to millions and millions of people.
