Meditation isn't to disappear into the light. Meditation is to see all of what we are.
Stephen LevineGratitude is the state of mind of thankfulness. As it is cultivated, we experience an increase in our "sympathetic joy," our happiness at another's happiness. Just as in the cultivation of compassion, we may feel the pain of others, so we may begin to feel their joy as well. And it doesn't stop there.
Stephen LevineIf you were going to die soon and had only one phone call to make, who would you call and what would you say? And why are you waiting?
