Says Stuart: "Look, this meditation defies everything. It would put half the therapists and doctors out of business, this meditation, if people would do it with great depth and properly, because it's a shortcut to get to your spiritual enlightenment..."

Says Stuart: "You can never know spirit. How do you know it? it's so far outside human comprehension that the very idea of knowing it is almost an impossibility. You can become, because you evolve to where your whole life is spirit. You know it, you're living it, you become a living manifestation of spiritual energy on the earth..."

Says Stuart: "Yes, it's good to be aware of who you are, your limitations and problems. But at the same time you can work out many of the things that are blocking you inside without knowing what you are getting rid of by just drawing the energy inside, opening up, you can free yourself of a lot of stuff that you don't even know what it is, but it's there..."

Says Stuart: "We all have will. And it depends on how you use your will. If you use your will to manipulaye other people, to get rich, power, all that stuff, then it all pours out of you. The substance, the essence of your being poured into maya, illusion..."

Says Stuart: "After meditation one day [Rudi] said 'I'm having a group of people upstairs if you want to come up", and I said 'Yeah!' He hugged me and invited me up to his apartment, and I think I had been studying with him for a month. And I went up there and everyone was sitting, and he was sitting on that chair, and he was sitting there in half-lotus position, and he was tossing shakti at everybody..."
