Meditation, in the beginning, is just replacement thinking. Instead of having the usual negative things that wander around in your mind, you are replacing those with very bright images.

When you can command the nagual you have a great deal of power, and people know it intuitively. They feel if they can plunge themselves into the nagual they can get anything they want in the tonal.

The nagual gives you the unknown; it gives you reality; it leads you to the totality of yourself.

Work sustains us as bodies and it consumes a great deal of energy. The conservation of energy is the component theme of Buddhist practice and yoga. That is why people live in monasteries.

Meditation is when we go beyond incarnation, beyond all cycles, to immortality, to something that is not transient.

Change can only exist in time. Without time there is no change. Change can only exist with a background of that which is changeless, otherwise it has no definition.

The training was rigorous, hundreds and thousands of hours of meditation, self-giving. But it was easy. I loved it. I would merge again and again with the superconscious in meditation.
