Selfless giving is a choice. The primary choice we make is not what to give, how to give, where to give. What we are trying to do is become perfect givers.

A person who doesn't dress well, who doesn't spend time and attention with their physical being, has a very loose being.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There is only eternity. That's our real body. The stars are our blanket. Time doesn't even exist, except in our own minds.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Life is perception. We perceive through different parts of the body of the universe.

Nirvikalpa Samadhi means that you've gone off the board you've gone off the map. There is no way to describe it. You have attained liberation and are no longer bound by the cycle of existence. You just are, and yet you're not, at the same time.

You are asleep and have forgetten that you are dreaming. You mistakenly believe you are awake.

No one can bring you into higher states of attention permanently. I can take an individual and i can change their awareness. That's easy. But how long will it last?
