Following dharma puts you in a proper field of attention. In a proper field of attention, regardless of what your outer circumstances are, happiness will flow.

In advanced meditation there are methods and formations of joining the mind with the various aggregate aspects of the universe, fusing it, dissolving it, sometimes thousands of times in a microsecond or outside of time.

Image
Enlightenment is the culmination of self-knowledge, pure unadulterated knowledge. Not knowledge you can get from reading a book, it comes from perfecting your awareness, your mind.
Frederick Lenz
Image
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.

A time comes when it isn't enough to read about Buddha, we wish to have that happen to ourselves. That's when we move from the exoteric to the esoteric, from religion to mysticism.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Don't condemn yourself - that only increases the hold of impurity. Accept your limitations but know that you're working towards changing them.
Frederick Lenz
Image
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.

Image
In dream yoga we use the etheric double and go beyond the confines of the physical, it's very ecstatic.

Love is, in its essence, a free, formless strand of luminosity.
Frederick Lenz
Image
A master of will can teach you how to use will. You watch them and observe them use that will, guided by wisdom, with a happy balance.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Power doesn't make you happy. Actually, power without knowledge and balance is problematic. Power is something that will automatically follow when you have knowledge. The two are really the same, in a certain sense.
