The dream plane. A very sensitive time is when you’re asleep. When your conscious mind is there you’ll know if someone’s trying to break into your house. When you’re asleep they can sneak in. So, it’s very important to be aware of that. If you wake-up feeling really drained, instead of refreshed, it means that you got hit during your sleep. So it’s good to meditate a few minutes before you go to sleep, bring a lot of energy into your being, read a book that inspires you, whatever, and then when you wake up in the morning, if you feel very drained, just meditate for a while, recharge yourself and review in your mind who you just feel did it. Again, your body knows. There’s something inside you that knows. You just have to trust your feelings. Then, if you break connection with that person, if you figure out whatever method of manipulation they have to get inside you, what level of control they’ve gotten of your life or your emotions or your time, if you eliminate that they can’t really bother you.

In terms of sex, the most difficult time, of course, aside from these that I’ve mentioned, is when you have physical sex with someone—it’s a snap to drain energy and life force from them. During sexual intercourse there is usually a moment when a person will kind of abandon themselves, unless they have great control, to the ecstasy of the physical experience. As soon as they let go they drop the defense shields. You can snap their energy, you can drain them. Once you create a line, particularly through sex, it’s very easy to drain someone’s energy. Now needless to say it’s also easy to raise their energy—that’s the tantric sexual concept—because such a strong line is created during sexuality and after that you can also raise someone’s attention that way, if you’re powerful enough, because having sex with someone breaks through so many barriers. But it can be used either way. It depends on one’s state of mind.

The psychic manipulation game is the fastest game on the planet, next to the enlightenment game, which is a little faster. What a person will do is get you to think about them. This is the first and most important step. When you think about someone or focus on them or you think about a place or another world or a God or a being or whatever it is, your life energy touches what you think of and focus on, psychically. So what a manipulator wants you to do is to think of them, and any way they can get you to think of them—any way they can get contact with you, that they can get into your life or get some control over your life or cause you to think that you need them, that they are important—will enable you to lose energy from their point of view. In other words, they’ve got to have you thinking about them, feeling you need them, you love them, you want them, that they’re necessary, that you’re afraid of them—same thing, attraction or aversion—any type or expression of control. Needless to say, there are magical beings, enlightened beings, beings of power, who seek to do the opposite, who would be happy to show you how to free yourself, who want nothing from you, who don’t need to take life energy from anyone else because they’ve learned simply how to create it by stepping into other levels of attention in other worlds. They will teach you to be free. There are both in the universe, but you don’t have to worry about them. We don’t really have to talk a lot about them. If you meet one, if that’s your good fortune, then trust them, after making sure that they’re that. We do need to pay attention to the coyote net out there. So the manipulator seeks to get your attention. Now, some of the most obvious forms of manipulation, domination and control are sexual manipulation, manipulation through fear and manipulation through love.

But, we live in a world where we’ve been taught to not pay attention to our feelings, and instead to always use reason and logic. I love reason and logic. I write computer programs and love reason and logic, but that doesn’t mean that I think reason and logic are the only modes of perception for dealing with life in the world when I have more. That’s like saying, “I love my little Chevrolet, but I have five other cars and I’ll never use them. I won’t drive the Mercedes, I won’t drive the Ferrari, I won’t drive the Jeep,” that sort of thing. How silly. We have many modes and levels of perception. They are us, we should use them. They protect us, they give us a good life.
Rama

In my opinion, everyone is interfered with to an extent by others. People want your life force more than you realize. Now, of course, at this point one can become extremely paranoid and start to blame everything that you don’t succeed at in your life, or every problem that you have, on others who are taking your life force, which is just a wonderful way of excusing yourself and not doing those things. So here you have to be very careful to perceive properly when you are being manipulated and when you are just trying to blame others. If you search your heart you will really know. That’s about all I can say on that subject.
Rama

Psychic self-defense, of course, is the opposite of psychic manipulation. In psychic manipulation what someone is doing is seeking to gain your life energy, pure and simple, (Rama laughs) or impure and simple, depending upon your point of view. It is possible to tap into someone’s life energy just like you can lift out money from their wallet, if they’re not aware of it. Just like in the old stories the vampire can drain blood from the victim and weaken them, and the vampire can finish them off and just take it all at one time, or they can keep coming back day after day.
Rama

We’re made up of life energy⎯boy, we are! That life energy is electric, it’s filled with power and beauty and whenever our awareness field touches anything, we perceive it. Our awareness field shimmers and shines and moves. It’s made up of the kundalini energy, plasma energy and of other forces. Our life energy is radically altered when it touches other energies. Some energies affect it more than others do. The energy of other human beings affects it, and there are lots of nonphysical beings. The energy of plants, trees, rocks, places, all of these things affect our energy field. Our energy field naturally determines our awareness—it is our awareness—and if your energy field is high and strong you perceive yourself wherever you go. That’s what you’re seeing all the time—endless reflections of your self. That’s all there is.

Today is the 30th of December, 1985. It’s around 1:30 in the afternoon. Today I’m here in Massachusetts, talking about enlightenment, the enlightenment of your being. Enlightenment—the search for knowledge, illumination and power—is really divided into two parts. One part of course are methods and ways of stopping thought, making the mind quiet and learning to be introspective, gaining access to deeper stratas of being, of mind, of the universe. These methods are taught and can be learned from teachers, fairly freely. It’s helpful to be around people, sometimes, who practice those things. That can be inspiring, or to have a teacher. But in a way, at least an equal, if not a more important, part of the study is psychic self-defense. Now, what’s psychic self-defense? Well, very simply, it is maintaining the integrity of your own awareness. Life is a happy thing unless someone interferes with you, or of course unless you interfere with the happiness of others.
Rama

You focus on one of those three centers, focusing on the physical area in the body that’s near where it is in the astral. And if you focus around the navel center, or around the center of the chest by the heart, or between the eyebrows and slightly above, you will elevate the kundalini and you’ll be releasing different types of energy into the astral nerve system. I recommend that you focus on these three centers in rotation. So Monday morning, do your navel center; Tuesday, the center of the chest; Wednesday the third eye; Thursday go back to the navel center. Rotate them because they take in the three basic meridians.
Rama

What we’re really trying to do, then, with practice, is to spend more time in a complete focus. We do reach a point, however, when, while we are focusing, if we focus very completely, thought will stop. And when that happens, it’s no longer necessary to focus -- we can just let go. It’s not as if in an hour and a half of meditation you’re going to be sitting there, straining to focus on one thing the whole time. Rather what will occur is you will perhaps meditate for ten or fifteen minutes very intensely with a focus, then you’ll find that your energy will rise sufficiently so that thought will stop for a while, and then you don’t have to focus -- you can just kind of let go. And then, when you start to think again, you go back to focusing again and releasing energy.
Rama

I have a simple prescription method for learning how to meditate, which, if you do it, works very, very well. The main thing that you need is not really creativity but consistency. Creativity is a nice quality but it doesn’t have much to do with learning to stop thought. Consistency does. Consistency really involves just doing something once, each time, and not thinking about time or space or repetition. You just live it once. Forever. And that’s consistency. That’s perfect consistency
Rama

I was a vegetarian when most people here thought that you would die if you didn't eat meat.

Every form of addiction is bad, no matter whether the narcotic be alcohol or morphine or idealism.

You concentrate so intensely, you bring your will to such a singular point that you break through all the limited mind states. You bring in so much kundalini because your focus is so intense that you snap out of the limited mental states into higher mental states, and then, of course, you experience the pure, shining void in whatever form you’re capable of experiencing it and seeing it as, from your sentient mind state, and that in itself is ecstasy
Rama

I suppose we could say a person is addicted to food, and maybe they should give up eating for six months or a year. I don’t think we get addicted to meditation. I think we just realize that it’s an innate, natural process. To not meditate is very unnatural for a person who’s evolved.
Rama

The trick, then, to keeping your meditation practice alive -- not simply consistent but wonderful -- is you need to bring a certain will or force into every meditation. For the person just starting, I wouldn’t be concerned. It’s just enough to get yourself to the point where you meditate every day and then you see meditation as indispensable. That’s a good place to get to, where it’s just, it’s like breathing, when you just get up in the morning and you meditate. You can’t conceive of a day when you don’t do that because the day would just be horrible. It wouldn’t be a day; it would be a nightmare. And it’s not that you’ve become addicted to meditation, it simply means that you want to be in touch with eternity and life at every moment. It’s just an intelligent way to live.
Rama

So then, once we’re meditating on a regular basis and that’s become part of our life, if not the main focal point of our life -- the meditation and all that implies – the issue is how to continually make breakthroughs in meditation. How never to let meditation become just a routine in our lives, something that we have to keep because we fear the loss of it as opposed to something that is each day taking us into realities of mind, taking us into warp drive, taking us through dimensions, changes, dissolutions of the self and so on that are each day more amazing than any day before.
Rama

So when we do meditate well, when we’re able to stop our thoughts for a long period of time -- or if you’re not at the point where you stop thought, yet you are able to concentrate intensively on one point and you really hold to it, you really just put a lot of effort into it -- then the day will be very good because you’ve released a lot of kundalini energy in that process. That energy will flow through you all day and all evening. Your personal power is up; you’ll just zig when you should zig and zag when you should zag. When your personal power level is up, you see better. So you’ll know, “Oh gosh, I’m not going to take that exit today, I’m going to take this exit,” and get a whole different day. Everything works out. The days that our personal power level is low because we haven’t done a good meditation, we don’t see well. Then we don’t meet the right person, we don’t attract the right energies to us. Things don’t work as well in life.
Rama

There was a time we didn’t meditate, and we obviously got by. Now we start to meditate and there’s a brightness and an addition, but now the reason we meditate is not because we seek a greater brightness but simply because the loss of meditation will bring us to a lifestyle, an energy level, an awareness level that we find unacceptable.
Rama

Then what happens is the practice becomes a practice. It becomes something that is a routine, and each meditation may be fulfilling and you don’t stop because if you did, you’ll notice the days are not as bright. So meditation becomes something that we have to do because the loss of it reduces our energy level. But it’s not something that we do because we are making continuous breakthroughs. It develops a kind of functional autonomy.

Christmas time – an Enlightened Teacher came into the world, taught, and died. His message was simple: Forgive. While the human beings of this planet have still not absorbed this simple Truth, it remains the Truth.

You see, careers are fine, credit cards are fine, but someday you may find yourself saying, 'The heck with it. This just isn't me, not really.' And when you do, I'll be here waiting, So until then, drive carefully when you leave. And may you feel joy, peace, hope, excitement, caring....”

When another person makes you suffer, it is because he suffers deeply within himself, and his suffering is spilling over. He does not need punishment; he needs help. That's the message he is sending.

Moreover, most people who do have the instincts will never recognize that they do, because they don’t have the courage or the good fortune to discover their potential. Somewhere out there are a few men with more innate talent at golf than Jack Nicklaus, or women with greater ability at tennis than Chris Evert or Martina Navratilova, but they will never lift a club or swing a racket and therefore will never find out how great they could have been. Instead, they’ll be content to sit and watch stars perform on television.

Infact,I'm the best investor in the world.

One of the keys to thinking big is total focus. I think of it almost as a controlled neurosis, which is a quality I’ve noticed in many highly successful entrepreneurs. They’re obsessive, they’re driven, they’re single-minded and sometimes they’re almost maniacal, but it’s all channeled into their work. Where other people are paralyzed by neurosis, the people I’m talking about are actually helped by it.

M Y STYLE of deal-making is quite simple and straightforward. I aim very high, and then I just keep pushing and pushing and pushing to get what I’m after. Sometimes I settle for less than I sought, but in most cases I still end up with what I want. More than anything else, I think deal-making is an ability you’re born with. It’s in the genes. I don’t say that egotistically. It’s not about being brilliant. It does take a certain intelligence, but mostly it’s about instincts. You can take the smartest kid at Wharton, the one who gets straight A’s and has a 170 IQ, and if he doesn’t have the instincts, he’ll never be a successful entrepreneur.
-Donald Trump

Even if you are focusing on a chakra, you don't want to do that for the whole period of meditation. There should be a point where you let go. Settle down. Get off the train of thought for a while.

As the prana current, kundalini and different energies begin to move through you, you will feel yourself moving and rocking. Keep the body still, otherwise that energy will be lost as it expresses itself through the physical
