“The more developed the nervous system, the more it will express qualities of pure consciousness — intelligence, creativity, and bliss.
Yoga is the transformation into this Divine, and of this Divine into everything. Meditation is the key”
Alistair Shearer

“Each one of us must endure the fruits of his past actions. Whatever a human being is involved in during a lifetime leaves its impression stored in his mind and this impression acts as the seed from which future desires and actions will in time sprout. These seeds may take many births to come to fruition; like any crop, they need favourable conditions to appear. You are a farmer Sir, so you know well the principles involved here”.”
Alistair Shearer, In the Light of the Self: Adi Shankara and the Yoga of Non-dualism

“The headman nodded, then asked: “So is this is the cause of rebirth, Sir?” “It is. An individual may have to take an indefinite number of births to harvest the effects of all his latent impressions, and then, in each fresh lifetime there is further action, which sows further seeds of karma”.”
Alistair Shearer, In the Light of the Self: Adi Shankara and the Yoga of Non-dualism
