Reading books about enlightenment does not make you enlightened at all. You have to meditate yourself.

If you can't hold a person in your mind with a good thought, it is better not to think about them at all.

It is possible to modify your awareness to perceive what plants perceive, birds, beings in the astral, the causal.

Granted you want to go beyond ideas and beyond thought, but that takes years of practice. If you must think, think good thoughts, happy thoughts, and constructive thoughts.

Your karma is the sum total of your awareness field. Your awareness field is comprised of all the experiences that you've had in this life and all other lives.

To take charge of destiny means to play a very convoluted chess game on multiple levels of consciousness and existence.

Krishna says meditate and you'll see the various ephemeral worlds, the various ephemeral beings, all of them going through the same thing; some are rich, some are poor, some are more knowledgeable, some are less knowledgeable - in countless myriad universes, forever.
