When something goes wrong with the body of energy that surrounds and protects your physical body, it will later show up in your physical body. The problem always starts in the subtle physical, and then manifests in the physical.

People who work to bring about perfection see work as an extension of themselves. The point is to do a good job. That will empower you. To do a poor job will make you weaker.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There is no movement in Nirvana. There is no sameness. And one does not consider it to be timeless because one is not one. It is you, my friend, who go away.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Reality is not the world as you perceive it. Reality is the world perceived through enlightenment. It's the same world but it's not the same world.

Unless you have a great deal of purity, it's difficult to retain the higher light.
