Beyond matter is spirit and in spirit there is nothing but love.

Make lists. Write down the things that give you power. Write down the things that take your power away also. Make lists of people close to you. Are you associations raising you to a higher level of attention?

Tantric Zen is not being kinky nor is it being conservative and austere. It is eclectic. It is a real mixture of all things.

In the Far East, a peasant has no problem that someone can be born from another universe into a human body, walk up to their hut one day and ask for something to eat and transport them into infinite galaxies of awareness.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I don't put much stock in powers that people have to hurt others, in sorcery and all this nonsense. There are murders and there are dictators. That is just a part of life. The intelligent use of power in yoga can assist you avoiding that side of humanity.
Frederick Lenz
Image
It is necessary to be focused. This is the raison d'etre of career.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The mind is infinite. It is not relegated to the brain or to thought or to emotion. It is made up of an endless series of realities that stretch on into infinity.

Image
Nirvikalpa samadhi or sahaja samadhi is all the way up. You get above the cloud line to the land of eternal snows and it's ecstasy beyond ecstasy.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Everything is the will of God - we are only instruments of her will and we learn to just love and accept.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Most people are operating out of repetition. If you come to work or school each day with the same mind-state, you probably can't get more out of it than you did yesterday.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The reason why we're not happy is because we believe consciously and subconsciously that we're separate from god, eternal awareness.
