The Great White Brotherhood

"Happiness is like a ball: you keep kicking it and running after it, and just as you are about to catch it, you kick it again... and start running after it all over again. Yes, it is the chase that stimulates you. It is in the quest, in the pursuit of a goal that you find happiness.
When you get something you want, of course, you are happy for a little while, but that satisfaction is soon followed by a feeling of emptiness, and you start to want something else. Your satisfaction never lasts. So what is the answer? The answer is to set out in pursuit of the farthest and most inaccessible goal: perfection, immensity and eternity. In pursuing this goal, you will find all the things you desire: knowledge, wealth, power and love. Yes, you will find these things without even asking for them."

'Live in Spirit'

Look how encumbered are the roads upon the earth...
they are less on water and even less in the air, and
you can easily increase speed without risk of accidents.
Let's interpret these facts. If we descend in the
physical plane, that is, in the stomach, the belly,
the sex, we'll have lots of accidents, because that's
the way it is in the physical plane. You'll say:
"Ok, since it is so, I'll go into the astral plane,
the feelings, the emotions." Of course, you can live
there more rapidly, but you'll bump in the interests
of your wife, your boss, your colleagues, and there
too there shall be conflicts and accidents. "OK, I,ll
go in the mental plane then, in the world of thought."
That's fine, but there again you can collide with all
those that don't have the same philosophical, scientific,
religious, political conceptions as you. If you really
want to never be hit, shoved, trampled, go even further
than air, in the subtle, clear and luminous regions
of the aether.
