Free will exists within each of us. Most people choose not to use their free will, so consequently they rarely alter their karmic patterns.

To think you can just go out and help people and somehow get a better life is not reincarnation as I know it. A better life comes from being happy and inner realizations. Now if helping others adds to that, well then, it's great.

Death is only a summer vacation for us. We don't really change or lose what we have learned or who we have been when we die, because we are our karma.

In enlightenment you have to convince a teacher not only that you are worthy of teaching, but then that they should show you some of the secrets.

Maybe you don't need to do this. Maybe this isn't your moment. But if you do feel the pull of the eternal, then you can't stay away from it.

Meditation is existence. When we meditate, all we are simply doing is letting go and allowing ourselves to dissolve back into that which we really are. We are merging with life and light.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The Buddhist mindset seeks to eliminate the self. That is to say, what we want to experience is life, not self. When there's less self and more life, we're very content, and when there's more self and less life we're quite unhappy.

Most enlightened people can do miracles. Some have powers, some don't. Some people who have developed powers aren't enlightened.

Anyone who seeks enlightenment is going to encounter opposition, whether it is from their society or from non-physical forces or friends or whatever it is. Be strong enough to go through that and win.

When self-consciousness stops, there is nothing -nothing left to stop, start, begin or end.

There are those who feel that meditation is unrealistic or takes them out of the world, and if that was your experience with mediation, you weren't meditating.

The yoga of love is for those who want an all-consuming relationship with their teacher. They see the teacher as an extension of God, of eternity - which all of us are.

People who want to go to power places all of the time and want to be around powerful people, they don't last long in the study.

Programming will aid a person in developing their mind and will aid their meditation. I find that people who have pursued programming are doing much better in their meditation.
