Every time you sit down to meditate, you have to sit down with a resolve to win. You are going to sit there and will your mind to be happy, quiet and still.

At the beginning of a meditation session your thoughts will be relatively earthbound. You will think about yourself, your world, problems, difficulties and anxieties.

The process is not simply of constructing a new tonal from scratch, but reordering the one you have.

Meditation is wondering. It is both wondering and wonder.

If you meditate, you can experience the other worlds, the far-flung eternities and dimensions - and you are not stuck in any one of them.

They've destroyed their environment, by and large. They've eliminated most other species on the planet, which is just an indication of their sloppiness and their deadness and their oblivion - but even more so, they've cut themselves off from happiness.

In meditation, when your mind becomes perfectly still and calm, you will experience the golden light of eternity.
