A warrior lives by acting, not by thinking about acting, nor by thinking about what he will think when he has finished acting.

We talk to ourselves incessantly about our world. In fact we maintain our world with our internal talk. And whenever we finish talking to ourselves about ourselves and our world, the world is always as it should be. We renew it, we rekindle it with life, we uphold it with our internal talk. Not only that, but we also choose our paths as we talk to ourselves. Thus we repeat the same choices over and over until the day we die, because we keep on repeating the same internal talk over and over until the day we die. A warrior is aware of this and strives to stop his internal talk.

The difficulty is to learn to perceive with your whole body, not with just your eyes and reason. The world becomes a stream of tremendously rapid, unique events. So you must trim your body to make it a good receptor. The body is an awareness; and it must be treated impeccably.

"Only if one loves this earth with unbending passion can one relieve one's sadness," don Juan said. "Warriors are always joyful because their love is unalterable and their beloved, the earth, embraces them and bestows upon them inconceivable gifts. The sadness belongs only to those who hate the very thing that gives shelter to their beings." Don Juan again caressed the ground with tenderness. "This lovely being, which is alive to its last recesses and understands every feeling, soothed me, it cured me of my pains, and finally when I had fully understood my love for it, it taught me freedom."

I don't work with men who are antagonistic to the liberation of women. I do work with quite a number of men who are supportive of the enlightenment of women. Such men are rare.

What women have done is developed a survival mechanism, and it's a fascinating one and it's been effective and justified, in my opinion. That is the ability to manipulate men sexually.
-Rama

In order to survive women have developed their second attention, which men have not evolved. They use the second attention, and have used it most effectively, to manipulate men; it's a justifiable reaction that has been necessary for survival.
-Rama

A man, as we see in this world, is chaos, but he doesn't recognize that fact so he tries to bring order into everything. Order is disorder. Order creates disorder.
-Rama

What is a woman? A woman is chaos. Chaos is the naturally perfect state of all things.
-Rama

The world has never had a greater need for enlightened women and men.
-Rama

If even one woman in the West were to become enlightened, it would change karmas on this planet.
-Rama

If global extinction is to be avoided, woman must unite and come to terms with their destiny.
-Rama

A species divided against itself will eventually fall.
-Rama

Until women assume their rightful place on earth there will never be an end to wars, cruelty and oppression.
-Rama

The most important problem for our world to solve is the inequality of men and women.
-Rama

I observe that more evolved souls are now reincarnating as women. Women find it easier to meditate and easier to develop their psychic abilities.
-Rama

Why don't more women attain enlightenment?
-Rama

I can go shopping and pick up some Bounty Towels, the three pack, I can go home and open those up and look at them and see more infinity than in the Buddha's best meditation. If I can't do that, that means I'm wrapped by the Buddha's best meditation.

A teacher is there to laugh at you because you have such a high opinion of yourself that you need to be laughed at. You need to sense how small we all are.
-Rama

Excess o.

Autocatalysis

Undistracted gaze.

Only listen to the observations of the enlightened because everyone else is self-centered, egocentric and bound by the net of desire.
-Rama

There is no such thing as a miracle. A miracle is just what somebody else doesn't understand. If we went back into the Stone Age and we lit a match, they'd say, "Ahh miracla, miracla!"
-Rama

Cosmic loneliness.

With a teacher it is necessary to be sensitive to their directions; most of the time they won't say much. You have to be still and silent to understand.
-Rama

Most teachers of self-discovery have two types of students. They have students they deal with in a more exoteric way than the esoteric students. Esoteric truths are presented to usually a smaller group of students.
-Rama

Some teachers are very accessible. They advertise a great deal, they go out into the public. If they're advanced teachers, doubtlessly they are very inaccessible in terms of physical proximity.
-Rama

Only the completely enlightened are beyond winning and losing. Yet, strangely enough, they had to win to get to the point of being beyond winning and losing.
-Rama

The person who helps you is the person who aids you in becoming independent and strong. Good teachers don't answer your questions, they ask you questions.
