MM : I have indicated some ways in my book. One of these is meditation. You can practise it on a weekly or daily basis, whatever works best for you. You do not have to assume the Lotus or Buddha position; find the position that fit your needs, whether you assume it out of doors or under a tree, or in a chair. Try to find a moment to spend in stillness. I describe in the book how in a number of countries, already several thousands are practising the Light-Love Meditation. Around seven in the morning (?) on Sundays and Wednesdays, they pause, singly or in groups, for the breathing exercise of the Light-Love Meditation. While inhaling to the rhythm of Light-Love, you utter soundlessly and with absolute concentration the word "Light", focussing totally on "I am now inhaling". And while you inhale from the depth of your abdominal cavity you inwardly utter "Light". This signifies that, within that field of energy the people of the East call Prana, you can literally feel that stream of light coursing through your body. You may close your eyes – nothing is compulsory, you are free to do so or not. But if you will close your eyes and consciously breathe in from the depth of your abdomen, say the word "Light" while you do so. Then exhale from the depth of your abdomen and, while doing that, utter the word "Love". You can do this for five or ten minutes. I always say; try it if you want, join in. Don't feel obligated to do so, don't make it an article of faith. But if you do join in, you will then sense that you have become part of a field of energy, a field that is not exclusive, that does not imply "We belong here and they don't"; it is a field in which you feel that you are at one with others, and that you are achieving this through Light-Love breathing exercises. That is your sustenance, together with your diet, your ideas, your emotions. Try to keep your emotions in balance. By this I do not mean neutrality in the sense of ……

I: Indifference? Apathy?

MM: That is absolutely not the idea. Many so-called spiritual people will deny anger while their hands are itching to lash out, or will choke on a curse word rather than speak it. This is nonsense. If provoked anger suddenly takes a hold of you, then you are authentically angry. But you become increasingly aware of what is taking place within you. You become more of a detached observer, and thus you are not going to question whether these emotions are good or evil. Emotions can sometimes get the better of all individuals. Those who say this does not apply to them are being less than candid; it happens to all of us. But you are able to monitor your emotions more and more, whereby their expression will follow a calmer course. You will experience a certain harmony taking possession of you. This goes hand in hand with sound nutrition and also with a strong desire to transcend, let us say, day-to-day evolution. Yes, of course, desire will still have to be stamped out, but first there will have to be something that pulls you along, that focuses you on "What is the purpose of my life?", "What is the reason for my existence?" We are able to perceive that our luminous body/light body together with our divine potential can reach beyond time and space, can transcend death. For you can rise above death. You do not need to undertake lab experiments for this. You know instinctively what your purpose is, and you concentrate all your attention on that. I once told a story about an individual standing before a Porsche garage, dreaming of owning a certain red-colored model of that famous brand, focussing all his hopes and aspirations on this one car. As he stands there, his life is snuffed out by a heart attack. He dies with the red Porsche as his last mental image. When you direct all your thoughts to "Who am I?", "What am I?" "What is my potential?" and make answering these questions your life's work, then when you die – suddenly or otherwise – your last thought will accompany you as a source of strength. You will reap what you sow. If you have been sowing red Porsches all your life, then that is what you will reap; this is what life will bestow on you. But when you ask yourself, "Is this all there is? Red Porsches?", and in response channel all your energies into knowing what you are, into being more conscious of what you eat, of your thought process, into trying to practise virtues like selflessness, patience, consideration for others, you will have your hands full enough with that.
