In poetry, and in my study in graduate school, I was drawn to a particular poet, Theodore Roethke. I did a dissertation on The Evolution of Matter and Spirit in the Poetry of Theodore Roethke for my Ph.D.

What we are seeking is the nexus of all possible worlds and states of mind, which is within us. The source of yin and yang is within you.

The work that most people do in the world tends to deaden them, deadens their mind, uses up their energy and they get a paycheck and old age and not much energy. You get the check and they get your energy. That energy is translated into corporate dollars.

Image
They too wonder about the nature of existence, where they've come from and where they're going to and how much time they have.

If you respect your teacher, you do better. Respect is only good because it will help you. Real liberated people, what can you do for them? They've got everything. They are everything. They don't need to be worshipped or adored.

It is necessary to be focused. This is the raison d'etre of career.

To have to liberate everybody doesn't sound very free to me. You're gong to go liberate people who maybe don't want to be liberated.

Image
When you read Boethius and some of the Renaissance philosophers, they talk a lot about the other spheres. There's a music of the spheres. There's a music that's actually in the universe, they believed, that's out there in different dimensions.

Fear can be used to get into your attention. Any way a person can get you to think of them, allows them to drain you.

Now, stopping thought is only the beginning. As Brahmananda, who was a disciple of Sri Ramakrishna, once remarked: The inner life begins with samadhi. This is an awesome thought, I realize, for the average person who meditates, that it could begin with samadhi.

You have to look at your own thought forms. Are you sitting around and thinking a lot of negative thoughts? These injure the subtle body. When you hate, when you are angry, you bring that energy through you.

Power is the ability to translate, that is, to shift from one level of attention to another.

Turn your life into a field of power and energy to draw from.

Unlike the experience of nirvana, traveling to other dimensions will not take you beyond suffering, nor will it help you experience the limitless ecstasy of creation.
