When you meditate, you will care more for those around you and you will be able to do more for them, as your own awareness advances. Everyone who comes into your field of energy is positively influenced.

There are many ways to meditate. When you meditate, you are learning how to feel again.

There are spirits in Hawaii. They're very protective and very good and they watch over these islands. I must confess, they're not entirely happy with what they see, with the way the civilization is moving. But they're patient. They've been here for a long time, and they'll be here long after the human beings have ceased to inhabit the islands.

Beginning meditation is a process of unhooking ourselves from thought, being motivated to meditate. It is very exciting in the beginning because we see the tremendous jumps we make in awareness.

The magic of life, of course, is not something that can be explained. Structures can only take us to the point where they begin or end. Beyond structures is the white light.

To talk about realizing the Self is discontinuous because there is nothing to realize but the Self. There is nothing but realization.

Life is an endless matrix of existence. And as you experience it in that pure form, that's what we call enlightenment.

Only real love of the infinite will motivate you. While pain motivates, once we feel comfortable and the pain has stopped, we'll stop evolving. Love is a far superior spiritual vehicle.

The experience of light in a very pure form always creates happiness. The experience of desire and aversion tends to create unhappiness.

You human beings think that yoga is in some way going to make everything you want to happen, work out. You are going to be able to avoid what you don't want. That is not yoga. That is desire and aversion.

Paradise is not the place you go when you die. Paradise is when your mind is in a perfect state.

How do you become enlightened? I don't know: Luck, karma, skill, friends in high places, friends in low places.

To be enlightened means that you really don't change, and yet you're nothing but change.

Watch out for negative power places on the earth, if you can see they are reddish and they twist your feelings. They don't vibrate at a rate conducive to humanity.
