Love is the only rule in self-discovery. If you've forgotten that rule, you've forgotten everything. It's not what you can get it's what you can give.

Inside you is eternity. A human being is not so simple. We're told that we're Ted or Sally or Willie or whatever and that we grow up and have experiences. That has nothing to do with what life is. You are eternity.

Image
Avoiding things that drain you is more important than gaining energy.

Time is a convenient filing system human beings have devised to segregate their experiences.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We want to know what our self is. We are the sky. Our thoughts are the birds that come and go. You can enjoy the birds and their beauty, but it is the sky that lasts.

Image
While it is possible to create all your own energy, most people feed off the energy of others. If you could see on multiple planes of attention you would be astonished!

Image
As you go into light for longer and longer periods, as you progress in your meditation practice, you transform, you become illumined, you overcome all limitation, all sorrow, and all pain. You learn not to be bound by desire, and eventually you transcend death itself.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Consider your second attention as a spiritual perceiver. Consider how you use it. You may plead innocence. You're not doing anything wrong. Don't feel that you've sinned. You have done what you had to do to survive, as did your mother, as did your grandmother.

Image
Zen is about breaking out of your ideas and experiencing life and not ideas.
Frederick Lenz
Image
At a certain point I left my spiritual teacher because I began to see the limitations of my teacher, who was a very powerful occultist, but who I thought was, to some extent, limiting others in their spiritual growth.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Your ability to use mind whatever way you choose is outrageous. Much will depend upon how intensely you approach the study and the state of mind in which you begin.
Frederick Lenz
Image
To think you can just go out and help people and somehow get a better life is not reincarnation as I know it. A better life comes from being happy and inner realizations. Now if helping others adds to that, well then, it's great.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The sights of infinity can be too strong. They can scorch the soul. It's best to take infinity on a little at a time.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The Buddhist message is a message not of the negation of life, but one of affirmation.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You're looking through the kaleidoscope of God and seeing God's face in so many ways, as friends, as strangers, passersby, country roads, jammed freeways, the cancer ward, the maternity ward - all the faces of God surround you at all times.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Each time you meditate, you create a stronger connection with the world of inner light and happiness that exists within you.

Energy is food. Most people on earth feed on each other's energy, all of the time, seven days a week. The more energy you have, the more interested parties there will be in having lunch.
