If even one woman in the West were to become enlightened, it would change karmas on this planet.
If global extinction is to be avoided, woman must unite and come to terms with their destiny.
A species divided against itself will eventually fall.
Why don't more women attain enlightenment?
It is not the responsibility of the enlightened teacher to bring the student to enlightenment. That may be true in the classroom, but in the world of enlightenment you have to find it, enter into it.
Nonphysical beings are drawn to enlightened beings. Some come to aid them in there work; some come to interfere. Some just come to watch. Enlightenment is rare in this world.
There is obstruction. Enlightenment is not very popular in this world. History tells us that enlightened teachers who made themselves largely available to human beings had problems.
Nirvana's not like anything you've ever known or experienced because it can't be known or experienced.
The world of enlightenment doesn't know of its own existence. We're beyond both the knower and known. There's no conceptual identity whatsoever.
Be enlightened for you, just for you. No one else knows or cares. They crucified Christ, you know. They don't take real well, on this planet, to the people who see things differently.
Enlightenment is not a finite state. It's not something that you just do and it's done. It goes on forever.
After enlightenment your body changes tremendously; its very molecular structure changes just because the kundalini is always streaming through you.
There is no way to explain enlightenment. It is just a word to indicate something beyond, something very, very far beyond the normal human condition.
Enlightenment is the ability to freely transact within the ten thousand states of mind without a continuous self or awareness
A better name for nirvana might be endless love. Love not even in the sense that we see it if we're watching the romantic movie, but love in a sense of no absence.
I have not in this lifetime yet met one person who earnestly seeks enlightenment in the West. Not one person.
From the point of view of enlightenment, none of this has ever even been. All time and space, all the conditions that are apparent in the absence of enlightenment are unreal.
We have ideas of God and nirvana or truth or enlightenment. These ideas will go away in nirvana because the suffusion is so complete and intense that nothing can be remembered.
Awareness is wakefulness. Wakefulness is consciousness. Consciousness is limitless awareness.
Nirvana is very funny. It's not sincere particularly. It's rather frivolous, actually.
It is possible to move to an enlightened state of mind from a lower bardo or level of awareness. It can happen, but it is extremely unlikely.
Enlightenment means that you're living fully, and it means that you die fully. And then you go beyond life and death completely, everything, nothing, all, and beyond all.
Enlightenment means that you're in love with all of life, with not only immortality but mortality.
Enlightenment simply means that you've run out of questions, and that the answers don't matter anymore.
Enlightenment means that you've become a sophisticated perceiver, without letting anyone know that you're sophisticated.
