We feel crowded by other people; we feel crowded by social rules; we feel crowded by ourselves, mainly.
You do have an effect on the universe. If you think positive thoughts, if you are happy and progressive, then that energy affects everyone on the whole planet, in subtle ways, perhaps, but it does.
There is no point in being a responsible member of society, nor is there any point in being an irresponsible member of society. Both are very defined descriptions of selfhood
When you're around the aura of humanity in those cities, you can't feel anything.
The toxic residue of humanity - you have to guard yourself, guard that sensitivity even more heavily because otherwise you can pick up so many pollutants that you'll become more toxic.
It doesn't pay to listen much to what human beings have to say in their evaluation of you, since they don't evaluate themselves very properly.
They've got lots of theories, books, sciences - I've read a lot of those books. Most of them are pretty unhappy.
Very few people are happy in this world. Most are miserable. Even in their so-called happiness, they are unhappy; it is so short of ecstasy, of god-consciousness; it's almost pitiful.
The condition of humankind is not good, in the sense that the illusory prisons we create for ourselves through our desires and our frustrations are unhappy.
The human mind generates an auric field that covers up naturalness, innate divinity of life. That auric field is a field of doubt.
In a time of continued population growth the consequences are devastating, needless to say. The Earth is too crowded already in terms of aura, and it's growing at 20 percent a decade.
This is still a very primitive age, and I'm afraid they may not get much further here.
The teaching that we receive is not necessarily very accurate. The value systems that our cultures have developed are not every open. They are very restrictive. We live in an age that is not enlightened.
The 1990's will be a determining period of time for another cycle. If humanity during this time chooses to throw away a lot of the mirages and illusions it's fooled itself with, we will enter a very bright and golden age. It won't happen in one day.
This is the age of electrical energy. The age of atomic energy hasn't really dawned yet, not in the way that atomic energy has evolved in other worlds.
They'll kill you in a minute rather than deal with truth. It's more convenient because then they can forget about it and rationalize your death.
There are a lot of human beings out there who are very hostile towards anything that rocks their perceptual boat.
Human beings, when they encounter that which can't be understood, either run away from it, run towards it blindly, or just rationalize it out of existence.
Just because you are innocent does not mean that others cannot harm you. History teaches us that lesson.
This is a dark age. That's not news. It's a dark time when we have to be particularly aware of danger.
Who's to say what's right or wrong? The courts and the society can be totally wrong. Nazi Germany, what did they say was the right thing to do? To destroy and burn Jews.
Overcoming fear is a critical factor for anyone who wishes to be really happy, or anyone who wishes to become enlightened
Societies on this planet are based upon fear, not upon love. The strong dominate the weak.
Consider that we live in a world predicated upon fear. The underlying assumption is that human beings are innately evil and must be groomed and controlled. That is the dichotomy that is set up within the human mind, good and evil.
The operative condition on this particular planet, the central mode which human beings follow, is fear. We are taught to fear.
