“La meditación en el yo es la forma más elevada de verdadera meditación sin método, ya que trae autoconciencia, que está más allá de la alegría y el dolor cotidianos. La verdadera meditación no te pone en control de tu tristeza, sino que lleva tu mente más allá de esa tristeza, así como también de alegría, al reino de la satisfacción, un reino sin ideología, sin extremos cognoscitivos, como el racionalismo radical, el romanticismo radical o emocionalismo radical. En ese reino, simplemente eres un humano, sin nombre, sin nacionalidad, sin tradición, sin cultura, sin religión, sin género y sin imagen social, simplemente un ser humano.”

“La mente humana es un simposio de conciencia y sin sentido. Cuando la conciencia es alimentada y fortalecida por el Yo, mantiene todas las tonterías bajo control, tanto primitivas como modernas. Y esto solo es posible cuando el Yo se convierte en la encarnación pura e indivisible de la conciencia, cuando el Yo y la conciencia se vuelven inseparables. Y una vez que el Yo y la conciencia en ti se fusionan y se convierten en uno, cualquier sueño puede hacerse realidad.”

“All people want to belong to some sort of hierarchy. Allow me to explain. The rich want to be the richest; the poor want to be the smartest; those who are both rich and smart want to be the better persons; the better persons want to go to heaven; those who are in heaven will look down upon those who are in hell... there is always some kind of hierarchy desired by everyone; even by those who claim the opposite of this. So how do you find true divinity? Divinity is found in those who reach down low; because it is those who are above who must reach down low, while it is those who are below who must constantly reach for what is above! And this is divinity. What is divine, is what will have a curiosity in what is below. There is no fear of becoming "tainted"; because what is lesser can never really taint what is greater. it is what is greater that is able to transform what is lesser. The alchemist must first find the mud, pick it up, before she is able to transform it into diamond. She must first reach into the swamp, in order to pull out roses.”

“The journey of the development of the ability of transmutation, is quite the journey to be on! First you awaken to the darkness that is in you, then you learn to accept it, then you learn to marry it with your light, and then, finally, you learn how to harness the dark energy through your bright energy in order to transmutate any darkness into brightness, into light and lightness. This is Soul Alchemy and sometimes it is thrust upon an individual and other times it is sought after by an individual. In any case, it is not an easy journey to surmount.”

“I was asked, "How can we change the world?" And I answered, "You will never be able to change the world by projecting ideal images to aspire for. The only way to change the world is to penetrate the grassroots, to penetrate at the groundbreaking level— to be a mason— to dig into the core where all the tar and lumpy mud is located and to work with that shit until you bring out something beautiful. We change the world by dressing wounds, by listening to forgotten voices of the lost, by getting our hands dirty. Nobody is going to be able to change the world by painting a lovely picture. You have to know how to make paint. Then teach the people how to use a paintbrush. Then teach the people how to make strokes, how to wash the paintbrush, and how to mount their own paintings onto the wall. Because the alchemy of the world, of humanity as a whole, is really just the collective alchemy of every individual. Take what is darkness and transmutate it into a shining thing. Changing the world is never about the changer; it is about the world.”
