Quote

As we go within the self, we discover that all the voices of our past lives are still there. As we peel ourselves, which is a process very much like peeling an onion, we discover that there are many selves within the self.

Freedom is within oneself. But to get beyond the thoughts and desires requires power.

The only loser who walks away from a wise man is the one who walks away.

Image
There is a lot of opposition. You will experience it. But the joys that come from the study, more than compensate for the opposition, in my opinion. It's a personal choice.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There are views. And what we see in a view is not necessarily what is in the view, all that is in the view. We have to separate, to some extent, the perceiver from that which is perceived or we have to lose all distinction whatsoever.

I am simply a human being who is fascinated by the life process.

Image
Human beings fear light and knowledge and power. There is a weird quirky sort of thing that happens with people. When you log on to the truth and you start to become it, it threatens them because they live with countless falsehoods.

There are no rules. Nothing you can do will take you to liberation therefore, nothing you avoid will help you along the path to liberation.. Everything is liberation.

The enlightenment experience is not what you think. How could it be anything that you can configure, anything you can imagine, any way that you think it should be?
Frederick Lenz

The important thing to remember is to follow the path of light. As the fictional character Yoda, from Star Wars, correctly pointed out, once you start down the dark path to power, it's very difficult to leave that path.

If someone else runs faster than you or makes more money than you or is more adept at anything, that doesn't mean you have lost. You are measuring yourself only against yourself and your tendencies not to do all that you are capable of doing.
Frederick Lenz
Image
A teacher will alter the balance of power by actually lifting a person into other states of mind. In those states of mind the teaching will take place in non-verbal ways through direct experience.

Image
There is a vortex of energy at the bottom of Walden Pond. That's where the inter-dimensional opening is. As people swim in Old Walden Pond, it soothes them, it renews them. It's a little bit like the pool in Cocoon - I suppose, any power spot is.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You identify with your self. You have a personal history. You have commitments. There are things that you want to experience and other things that you want to avoid.
Frederick Lenz
Image
With the happiness, ecstasy and power you gain from meditation, you can gradually remove your mind from the things it has become hooked to that cause it pain.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The reason a person is in a particular state of mind is primarily because of attraction and aversion. Attraction and aversion cause us to format a mental or intellectual program.
Frederick Lenz
Image
A categorization implies a hierarchical way of seeing things. Life is really relational, not hierarchical. Hierarchical is a human way of looking at things. Relational is much more the way things are. Everything is connected.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You should be drawing awareness from a deeper part of your being. Your deeper mind has everything already. It knows everything already. It has all the answers.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Gaining energy is accomplished by meditating, by right actions, right thoughts, right deeds, by studying with a real teacher or by just studying the teachings, by creating happiness in your life, and by never giving up.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There are other options that no one ever told you about. These are things mom and dad never explained to you your teachers didn't know they weren't enlightened. They weren't luminous beings that stood out of time and space.

There is something beyond power. The totality of one's being. Some call it nirvana. We have a higher destiny. Before you can scratch the surface, you have to bring your life into order.
