Meditation will do you a disservice. It will confuse you more than clarify you. It will bring tremendous impurity in you - if you are allowing your mind to wander during the empowered experience.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Good and bad karma are just ways of evaluating causal experience. What you do affects your attention field.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Real happiness is something most people never know. What we experience in deep meditation, that ecstasy is beyond what human beings call happiness
