To talk about realizing the Self is discontinuous because there is nothing to realize but the Self. There is nothing but realization.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Someone else would come, another self that was a little more refined, that had a little more purity, a little more humility, because I was quite egotistical, I thought I was quite wonderful.

Image
I am a teacher because teaching allows me to observe the universe at work, that moment when wakefulness suddenly occurs.
Frederick Lenz
Image
In the training process, the teacher addresses two sides of your being. One is the tonal and one is the nagual.

The experience of light in a very pure form always creates happiness. The experience of desire and aversion tends to create unhappiness.
