Frederick Lenz
Image
The universe is always ecstasy and it's always perfect, but we don't perceive it that well. If we keep doing our yoga in every lifetime, we perceive it more correctly.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The tonal is also endless and limitless. We like to think of it as being finite so we feel better.

Image
Bodies come and go, ages come and go, yugas come and go, eternities come and go. Selves come and go.
