I'm not the most detailed writer. I have a tendency to be more action-oriented vs. descriptive.

All intellectual tendencies are corrupted when they consort with power.
The most dangerous error is failure to recognize our own tendency to error.
Samsara-our conditioned existence in the perpetual cycle of habitual tendencies and nirvana - genuine freedom from such an existence- are nothing but different manifestations of a basic continuum. So this continuity of consciousness us always present. This is the meaning of tantra.
