Introduction
His body turned gold...
...he began to shrink, then grow to tremendous heights. He raised his arms and a shower of energy rushed down onto us while lines of power pushed up through my spine. His body turned gold, then it turned into a doorway. It became an absence. I felt myself drawn into it and through it into other realities. I felt myself spinning, floating, turning in various directions, then expanding and contracting. Then, gradually, I found myself back on the beach in a peaceful, calm, yet very electric state. Rama then stood in front of each of us and meditated on us. I felt myself merge with him. The level of energy in my being began to rise in intensity — I knew he was dissolving my human form. I felt that I had no boundaries. My mind was not able to conceive of myself as a fixed being in a solid body.Chapter 1 First Meetings - Part 1

“There is no life and there is no death.
Life and death are moving shadows cast upon the
Ground by clouds that sweep across the sky.”

“You are in the world of the dream. The power gets stronger as we move up the gorge. We go deeper into the center of the circle.
“You change forms. You confront death passing through you and birth passing through you. But that is not your essence. They are shadows and are not you.
“This is the dream of the opposite self. You are on the luminous edge of existence. There is no past and no future. You are eternal. You are in the land of the other. You are the dark side. And you are the light side.
“We are one self in fragmented pieces. But I bring you together into one self.
“You are a fluid metaphor for existence. You are your own death and your own rebirth. Here is forever. It never changes. We bring perpetual oblivion until we change the world.
“Feel this wind. This wind blows from world to world and from life to life. This is the wind of dharma.
“Be in love with the wind. It is an intimate lover. It enraptures you. It blows you through eternity.”

Chapter 3 At Home with Rama
“Consciousness comes about through awareness.
Awareness is the dream of consciousness.
In Nirvana there is pure being.
There is no individual awareness of form.
You have returned home and everything is complete.
There is no craving or disappointment.

Chapter 4 Public Meditations
“The only things that stand between you and the
Infinite ecstasy of existence are thoughts.
When you stop your thoughts you stop the world.
When the world stops, time stops.
When time stops, matter stops.
When matter stops, energy stops.
When energy stops, self-consciousness stops.
When self-consciousness stops there is nothing:
Nothing left to stop, start, begin or to end.
The person who did all of these things has gone away,
Vanished without a trace in the ecstasy of existence.”

Chapter 5 Unexpected Encounters
“The stars meditate constantly.
They burn their very substance to give
Light to others.
This is constant and conscious meditation.”

“Pedestals were invented by a wise man who perceived the need in human consciousness to cast people down. This wise man realized that it would be impossible to cast people down unless you had put them up on something first. So he invented the pedestal, which is now employed on a regular basis. You put people on it so you can cast them down later. Indeed, he was a wise man.”
-Rama
Chapter 7 Nonphysical Experiences
“Oh God — may we be as perfect as you like.
May we wait for you as you will.
May we deviate from Truth as you direct.
May we never want unless you want.
May we never be unless you are there.
May there never be an end and a beginning —
May we remember you until we are forgotten.”

Chapter 9 The Last Incarnation
“Try not to be afraid of death.
Think of death as an old friend who comes to help you
When you are ready to begin a new adventure.
Death comes to all.
Let your body die when its time has come.
Then you can begin your next adventure.”
