Quote

What is perfection anyway in the physical? It is an idea we have. When it doesn't happen we get all bent out of shape and frustrated and angry and then unhappy, we take it out on everybody.

When you wish to subjugate a people, you have to convince them of their own inherent weakness.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Don Juan, in the teacings of Carlos Castaneda, makes the same point. You have to fool people into seeking knowlege. People will not do it of their own volition.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You draw the mystical kundalini from the earth. Earth is an element. Fire, air, earth, water, and ether - the mystical kundalini comes through them all.
Frederick Lenz
Image
An advanced way to meditate, of course, is to focus on your teacher. If you have a spiritual teacher and you focus on them during mediation, then you access the light that flows through them.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Phony gurus make themselves objects of adoration and worship. Real spiritual teachers aren't interested in adoration and worship. They like respect only because they realize respect will help the student.

Image
Watch out for negative power places on the earth, if you can see they are reddish and they twist your feelings. They don't vibrate at a rate conducive to humanity.

Image
When you manipulate others your attention level drops and you become prey, for you have dropped to the plane of manipulation.
Frederick Lenz
Image
When you read Boethius and some of the Renaissance philosophers, they talk a lot about the other spheres. There's a music of the spheres. There's a music that's actually in the universe, they believed, that's out there in different dimensions.

If you do well within this life, that awareness will be held within the causal structure, the part of us that lives from one lifetime to another. It will be available to you in your next life and in future lives.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The kundalini energy rests in potential at the base of the spine. It is possible to take that energy and allow it to move, to unleash it, from the base of the spine up to the third eye.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Who's to say what's right or wrong? The courts and the society can be totally wrong. Nazi Germany, what did they say was the right thing to do? To destroy and burn Jews.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Inspire people very selectively with sincerity and with respect. You want to increase your energy? Then want, inside your heart, to inspire others. It will lift you tremendously.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Fulfillment of desire taken to extremes doesn't necessarily make us happy. It tends to make us rather cynical.
Frederick Lenz
Image
A teacher is not someone you need perpetually. You need them to show you how to get through the doorway but once you get through the doorway, you are on your own.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Even though it's not perceivable to the mind or senses, it's there and enlightenment is absolute freedom.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You become a monk and you practice and the teacher tells you what to do. If you find that you have a resistance to that, and the resistance is strong, it just means you're not interested. Why put yourself through some sort of torture. It means you weren't that interested.

Image
It is the Buddhist belief that all things, experiences and people are inherently empty. That is a simple way of saying that all physical and nonphysical things have another side.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If you hold a negative thought, then it will become more powerful and not only will it send bad energy to the person, but it will crash your consciousness. All the hard work of meditating is sabotaged.
Frederick Lenz

Selfliss giving rounds the edges in spiritual practice. Many people can meditate very well but they're still very egotistical.
