Eternity does nothing but give.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The kundalini of the supraconscious has nothing to do with the shushumna. That light comes down, from the crown center and has nothing to do with the opening. It descends and inundates.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Zen has lost its zip, if you will, or its nothingness and has become ritualistic Its established in monastaries with strict codes of koan study.

The enlightenment experience is not what you think. How could it be anything that you can configure, anything you can imagine, any way that you think it should be?
Frederick Lenz
Image
The difficult opponent is the best.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Light by its very nature is endless. Therefore you can never say you've had the ultimate experience in light - it goes on forever.

The ghetto is not where you live. The ghetto is inside your mind. And anyone who tells you that you can't get out of the ghettos of your own mind has no idea what they're talking about.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Life is an endless matrix of existence. And as you experience it in that pure form, that's what we call enlightenment.

Please act in and through me. Please let my love increase, if it is your will. I feel that's the right thing but even if it's not the right thing, I'm willing to abide by your judgment.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Neither is detrimental, but the mystical kundalini is a bit more raucous.
Frederick Lenz
Image
In my estimation it's silly to go out and spend your time aiding people if you don't have your own act together yet. So I'd rather you spend the time, get it right, and it'll all work out a lot better.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The teaching of the ten thousand states of mind, particularly as one advances further, is done through transmission. This is where we differ from teaching algebra or calculus.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The majority of times when a man thinks he has been the instigator, which men like to think, in sexual and romantic experiences, that has not been the case.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Take your energy - instead of losing it in all the little hassles and all the little battles you could have fought with opponents who didn't matter.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Think of your mind as a muscle. The more you use it, the stronger it will become.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Timeless awareness occurs to very few in this world, to step beyond the circle of fear. The body has created a magnificent arena of fear. We have developed ways of seeing life that exclude us from seeing life.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You're not the doer. What's to do? You can't undo what's not done. It's all one anyway, why think about it? But you need to discriminate, so you'd better think about it.

Love more deeply and without the sense of what you love being your personal possession.
