Power, people are obsessed with it. You can take a nice person and turn them into a slob, into an insane being, craving power, destroying anything that stands in their way.

There are billions of people on the earth and there are billions of earths, billions of universes. It is endless.

The world has an ending and a beginning. It begins with you and it ends with you. The end of the world occurs when you make a major transition in attention.

We are going to alter the structure of our beings and also totally change what we are. This is the possibility and inevitability that meditation offers us.
