How can you possibly overcome your fears, doubts, worries and other problems? You can't. You simply don't have the capacity. Fortunately, the infinite can do all of these things for you. How? Because it is lacking in nothing.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Happy people, enlightened people, successful people all share something in common. They have learned how to manage and increase their energy.

Image
Don't be afraid to experiement with your life and with your heart, your meditation and your being. Just love.
Frederick Lenz
Image
To have the detached eye of the occultist, to look outward, to not be so self-reflective and to learn to step through the various viewpoints of consciousness - that we call occultism - leads to freedom.
Frederick Lenz

Just as the DNA is a structure of double helical bonds, so your being is a structure of elements, not physical elements, but awarenesses that have come together in a ring of power.
Frederick Lenz

Frederick Lenz
Image
People think that if you are enlightened you are not in touch with the pulse of the physical. Au contraire! The higher you go, the deeper you become, and the more conscious you are of the physical and the sensorial.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The self plays among the waves of existence. It surfaces, it comes up for a while, and then it disappears again.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Greed, fear, lust, hate, jealousy, these are part of reality too ... bundles of consciousness wrapped tightly, barbs on which you can injure yourself, volatile energies that serve as separations between yourself and perfect stillness.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Purity is innocence, the innocence of lack of self. Desire is innocent unless it's connected with self.
Frederick Lenz
Image
In their confusion and delusion, men hate the womb that gives them birth. Not all men, certainly , but enough men to run the world.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We live in a world where no one believes. Enlightenment and knowledge are laughed at. Those who seek and teach the mysteries are scorned and often persecuted. Welcome to the planet earth: environment hostile.

Image
I recommend computer science to people who practice meditation. The mental structures that are used in computer science are very similar exercises done in Buddhist monasteries.

The Akashic Records are the impressions from all of our past lives that are available within our causal body.
