Each of the ten thousand states of mind presents you with a different view of essence and experience.

Picture that the waves of golden light have now become a solid river of golden light that is constantly passing through you. Picture this golden light expanding beyond your body and filling up the entire room.

Combine meditation with career as a yoga. You will find that your practice will not be any less powerful than a person who lives in a monastery. You might even excel because practice in a monastery can get very one-sided.

Sisterhood is powerful. Woman can support each other as women, in their pursuit for enlightenment or anything else, without fear. But as long as she's still in the commodities exchange market, buying and selling, she must fear the competition.

Image
The women that I met were exceptional, extraordinary - tremendous purity, tremendous gentleness, self-giving and power.

Image
I meet people who neglect career. Their lives aren't centered at all. They don't have much money. They have this spaced-out look in their eyes. Their chances for enlightenment are very small, unless they change the way they live.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Everything is part of one web, one matrix of existence, beyond discussion. This is our true self in its undifferentiated form.

Image
Tragedy is the violation of love.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Love is something that we don't control. We have to be ourselves. You can be sexual, nonsexual, asexual, bisexual, or trisexual and it really doesn't have a lot to do with enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Your ability to use mind whatever way you choose is outrageous. Much will depend upon how intensely you approach the study and the state of mind in which you begin.
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
Enlightenment simply means that you've gotten above the body-mind complex. You've refined the self, dissolved it in the white light of eternity and gone through all the gradient shifts.

Image
Men are really not all that interested in sex. For most men, sex is a very simple experience.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Unconscious of the existence of Tao, beings live supposing themselves to be separate from the universal intelligence, supposing themselves to be powerful or to be weak, thinking that they live their lives and die their deaths.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The personality structure at the time of death dissolves. You will never be exactly the you you are again.

Image
Get in touch with nature. The stillness of nature is profound and yet subtle.

Those who scorn and hate the world and hate themselves miss the point. The point was that there wasn't one. There was no place to go to.
