The way of humanity is to turn everything into a marketable product. But when we turn something into a marketable product it loses something.
Human beings going to their jobs and living their lives are unconscious. They don't know what's going on. They don't know why you are born or why you die.
We live in a world where no one believes. Enlightenment and knowledge are laughed at. Those who seek and teach the mysteries are scorned and often persecuted. Welcome to the planet earth: environment hostile.
This world we exist in is populated by people who have really shut themselves off from life.
Samadhi is not going to take away your humanity. It will give it to you. You will become more cosmopolitan, more conscious, and more infinite.
Fear which has been embedded in your mind since you were a tot doesn't go away easily - it's conditioned in. And because we have fear, we fail to fulfill and realize our potential as human beings.
There's this cave and all humanity is in it and there's this terribly bright light at the other end and everybody's afraid of it.
You will always see, if this group is a highly evolved group or on the way up, a movement towards oneness.
The reason why there's such a rigid repression of the mentally ill is the psyche of humanity senses something. It senses that it doesn't want to deal with the unknown.
Shakespeare said: "There's a special providence in the fall of a sparrow." Everything happens perfectly.
We live in a world filled with automobiles, highways of the mind, urban disasters, billions of people living on a tiny planet, sharing the diminishing natural resources of the earth.
Human beings go to church. The guy in the front dressed in black is the guy you defer to. He is in charge of the mysteries of universe, which ordinary human beings don't seem to have the inclination to understand.
In the western philosophy you can't perceive infinities at every moment. It's not there to do.
Religion is either something we scorn because we are too rational or it's the realm of the fanatic who insists that their God and their religion is the only way and everyone else is dammed.
In the West people are basically oblivious to power, solstices, enlightenment and everything that matters.
They don't understand the multi-life sequences. Anything they can't see in a laboratory, they think is nonsense.
Human beings are not so in harmony with the dharma. That is why they suffer so much. But you as an individual can reach a plane of attention and can become attention itself.
This is a world that defines everything backwards, a world in which good is called bad, brightness is called darkness, up is called down, enlightenment is called abnormal behavior and abnormal behavior is applauded as reason.
Everyone has sunk on this plane to such a low state of consciousness, it is the natural state. We have deviated so far from the norm in this age of darkness.
This is a place where the strong often victimize the weak.
One nationality supresses another. One religion claimsto be the exclusive way to truth or god.
The population of the planet is increasing at an alarming rate, and yet each day human beings manage to destroy ten species.
They've destroyed their environment, by and large. They've eliminated most other species on the planet, which is just an indication of their sloppiness and their deadness and their oblivion - but even more so, they've cut themselves off from happiness.
The level of evolution in this world is not exactly high.
Its funny how human beings tend to think that they're the masters of the earth never realizing that the earth, for a time, simply tolerates its tenants and then, when the mood strikes, it shifts its continents around.
