Buddhism has existed forever, just like we have, and occasionally it's codified; it's put together into a system by someone who likes to codify.
We are like an atomic structure. We've got a causal body that's linked together.
The intuitive mind is nonphysical. It is not part of the brain or any other cellular structure in the physical body. It is part of the causal body.
The more lives you have, the harder it is to change, yet the stronger you are. It's a kind of funny dichotomy.
When I talk about subtle bodies, causal bodies and things like that, it is a good idea not to take it all completely literally. It cannot be put into words.
A very advanced master can glow so strongly that you see divine in them. You look into them and you see infinity constantly changing, evolving and radiating in new forms.
Dogs have fleas; people have each other. We are born to die. Life is a continuing tragic comedy. Everything and everyone we love suffers. Anybody who doesn't see that has not grown up and known life.
Just as the subtle physical body holds together the physical body, the causal body holds together the body of awareness.

There is an art, a science to gaining power. There is a natural force or inclination in all of our beings to accumulate power. The problem that we come into is conditioning.
