The world can come to a harmony if meditation is spread far and wide.

Celebration is my attitude, unconditional to what life brings.

If you were dealing with the accumulated repressions of only one lifetime, it would be different. But these are the repressions of numerous lives. Nobody knows how many times you have been born, and how many societies have crushed you. And each time a different society, and all these societies destroying you in different ways... this is why you carry so many inner contradictions.

We exist solely because we have a body and a mind ? a mind that arises out of the body. If this were true, we would cease to exist after our body was gone.

The moment you go in, all connections with the outside world are broken; all bridges are broken. In fact, the whole world disappears.

Nobody else can destroy you except you; nobody else can save you except you. You are the Judas and you are the Jesus.

So the first thing: become aware of death. Think about it, look at it, contemplate it. Do not be afraid, do not escape the fact. It is there and you cannot escape it! It has come into existence with you.
