The avoidance of that which causes you pain does not produce enlightenment. It produces avoidance. Religion is the avoidance of pain and suffering.

There is no future and there is no past, there never has been, there never will be. You just think there is. It's not life that moves; it's awareness.

A person without much power is easily influenced by others, whether they are physical or non-physical beings. Their life is easily ruined. They are blown around like a leaf in the wind.

If there were no world, no time, no space, no condition, if none of us existed, that would be meditation.

From infinite awareness, something comes forward, a sense of infinite awareness and finite awareness. That perception is the birth of a being.

Yoga means we go a step further back. In yoga we go to the cause. The cause of pain is not the world. The cause of pain is us.

We are transmuting the reality of our perceptual field. There are endless, beautiful and perfect universes - or you can go beyond universes to the dissolution, where there's no beginning.
