To become conscious of God, to become God's consciousness, to become God, to be God and to be beyond God, God being beyond God, God having an existence separate from the creation, to be that, to merge with that, to lose one's self and find one's self endlessly again and again in that is self-realization.

Image
Have the right attitude in advanced practice. Feel that you are always a beginner in Zen. They refer to it as beginners mind. I feel I am a beginner, always because it's true.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Most people are taught from an early age on, to conceive of themselves as losers. They are taught that there are a very special few who are eminently successful in life.

Image
If you can be agreeable to each and every person or situation with which you come into contact - no matter how difficult it is or how much you think you are in the right - then you are demonstrating control.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Psychic beings are childlike, delicate and easily destroyed.

The Eightfold Path is ordering the island of the tonal completely.

The higher octave light that comes from samadhi, the kundalini of samadhi, this you can absorb continuously. You can never overload. It can never hurt you.

Life is perfect, it glows.

When you die in this life, you might be experiencing pain, but the structure of your perceptual field will determine your next lifetime. That structure has been determined by the way you have led this life.
