Don't become a slave to success or failure, family, friends, possessions. If these things come to you in life, enjoy them, but fix your consciousness on that which does not change.

The earth is not the same everywhere. Certain powers are available in one part of the earth that are not available in another part. The rich realize this. They live in these places and they use that power to stay rich.
Frederick Lenz
Image
One should never become devoted to a teacher, any more than one should become devoted to a statue of a god. There is only one thing to be devoted to, and that is your mind.
Frederick Lenz
Image
It is only when you have become that true Self consciously, when all these illusions have fallen away, that you will be perfectly free and perfectly happy.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Karma indicates action, but not necessarily physical action nor is karma a result in the sense of a reward.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Occasionally in my travels I meet people who have pushed too far into the nagual. These individuals are not too balanced but they have made great journeys in the unknown.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The enlightened teacher is someone who has become absorbed in eternity. While they may have a body like others, the essence of their being is light.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Time holds the final claim check for everything we gain or attain in this lifetime. All of our possessions, along with the people we love, are only loaned to us for a very short time by eternity.
Frederick Lenz
Image
One day after many, many lifetimes, we get wise. We decide that the fun in life is to give.

At this point, you are so far away from what you really are, it is ridiculous. The good news is that every step you take within brings you more in touch with that which you really are.
