Frederick Lenz
The challenge of power is how to use it and not abuse it. When you abuse it, it reverses on you and it hurts you.

Inwardly the sun also has an energy field, it has an aura, so does the earth, so does the moon, and so do all the planets. We're affected by those auras. It's not something that you really want to reason out.

People who are humble don't talk too much they listen.
Frederick Lenz
Most people we observe who practice self-discovery just get caught up in a new description, a new ism, a new religion, a new god. But nothing changes.
Frederick Lenz
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
The tantras are ancient sacred books of India and Tibet. The tantras detail specific means for attaining liberation.
Frederick Lenz
