If you live in the city, it is necessary to get out of it on weekends. Then you will realize that most of the thoughts and desires you have are not yours. You will see what is you.

You don't really have a choice. You are alive and you will die.

Wisdom is seeing that there are templates in the universe that you can follow. They will show you what to do and what not to do. In order to see them you have to make your mind very quiet, very still.

You can just stay in oblivion, going through your days and your life and your experiences, staying with your friends, family. If that suits you, it's good. But for some people, it's not enough.

Hell is everything. Heaven is nothing.

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.

Each time you dip into the well of existence it changes you. Rapid mental development is that process. It is a process of escalating your evolution.
