Quote

Balance is to choose happiness, to feel that the purpose of life is to love, not necessarily to be loved, to be happy, to be conscious, to be aware, to be fulfilled.

We applaud the people who are film stars, who get elected to an office, who are very athletic, the small group who play with power in a very limited way. But we're completely oblivious to what can be done to the infinite realities that exist in front of us. We deny them.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You are fighting against nothingness all the time by creating a series of shields that you call personality, life history, feelings, ideas, and ways of seeing.

The tantras are ancient sacred books of India and Tibet. The tantras detail specific means for attaining liberation.
Frederick Lenz

There are primarily two ways people can drain your energy. They can get you to want them or what they have or they can get you to fear them. In order to drain you they must get into your attention field.

It is necessary to have a very liberal and simultaneously very conservative mentality to practice Tantric Zen.

Enlightened teachers get all sorts of assignments. Sometimes we end up in the higher astral sometimes we end up in the realm of pure spirit sometimes we end up in the desire realms. Sometimes we go down to the lower astral to teach, you don't really teach there, you just sort of are, because everybody is confused.

Everyone experiences desire. Desire is not bad. There is no good or bad from the point of view of karma. There is only structured reaction.

Dharma doesn't necessarily mean following a mundane and boring life. It means a life of high adventure, not a life of endless, boring repetition.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You don't know why, but you know you have to go home. It's an eternal longing. It's Marvell's drop of dew wanting to go back to the sky. We're drawn by a force we don't understand, through worlds, through experience.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You are dharma. You are a wheel. And the wheel of dharma spins.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Personal power is the ability to go into other planes, to cross that threshold from one dimension to another. Why do that? Because it is there to do knowledge, power, and beauty lie in those other worlds.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We learn that those around us are an extension of ourselves, both animate and inanimate. All things have a life and form. We learn to love them all.
Frederick Lenz
Image
When the world stops, time stops.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You reincarnate forever because you exist forever. You can't die. You can't be born, your essence that is. You are on a big wheel.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The whole objective universe is created, ordered, by our perception and by our sense of self.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Meditation is the freeing of ourselves from all mental states and concepts of self.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Mindfulness is paying attention to what is going on. Just look at beauty. Not just the beauty of things you see with your eyes, but beautiful feelings, beautiful awareness. There is no such thing as reality. Reality is what you make it.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Beyond the ten thousand states of mind is the still point. It exists within them all, yet beyond them. It is not affected by them. It gives birth to them. This is the riddle.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Fulfillment of desire taken to extremes doesn't necessarily make us happy. It tends to make us rather cynical.

You can transmit the kundalini physically when people are there, and of course, long distance. It is energy, inter-dimensional energy.
