The chakra is a doorway. These are doorways that lead you into other dimensions. But you have to focus on them to the exclusion of everything else.
Frederick Lenz
As you become a powerful person, it becomes increasingly important to have periods of solitude. Take a weekend by yourself. Go up into the mountains or desert and check into a little cabin. Go by yourself.
Frederick Lenz
You can be alone too in the city streets, among the crowds. We are all alone.
Frederick Lenz
The world is a grain of sand on the beach of Eternity. Eternity is a grain of sand on the beach of Infinity. The ocean of Nirvana connects both Eternity and Infinity without connecting them. Know this and you will be free.
Frederick Lenz
Maybe you don't need to do this. Maybe this isn't your moment. But if you do feel the pull of the eternal, then you can't stay away from it.
Frederick Lenz
Sring is the mantra of beauty. Traditionally it is connected with Lakshmi, the Indian goddess of beauty. Chant Sring slowly, elongating each sound. As you do, you will see the consciousness of beauty of everywhere.
Frederick Lenz
Humility means freedom. It provides growth and takes you out of the cycle of change that you are currently in, which is stagnation.
Frederick Lenz
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
The world is wonderful. It is beautiful when you are in a correct level of attention.
Frederick Lenz
