In tantra one does not seek experiences that most people would consider unspiritual and try to see truth in them. In tantra we don't try to guide our life in a specific way. We let the winds of existence blow us where they will.

Most people have no idea how unhappy they are because they don't know what happiness is. When they get a little break from their total pain, they feel a little better and they call it happiness.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Self is the perception of perception. Beyond self there's no perception of perception.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Sex is life: The act of creation in pleasure, the loss of oneself in another, the coming together of opposites in a temporary union of yin and yang, that creates something other than either. What is life if not this?
Frederick Lenz
Image
Freedom is within oneself. But to get beyond the thoughts and desires requires power.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There is only black light between the stars. It may seem that it's darkness, but it's really black light. There is no such thing as darkness. Darkness is a human concept. There's only black light between the stars.

You might wish to try Kali's mantra. Kali is another celestial being. She offers very fast spiritual progress through intensity. Her mantra is Kring! When you chant Kring, chant it very intensely and sharply. Only chant Kring when you are in a high meditation.

One day you will arrive at a station on the train of existence that you've always known has been there. You'll find there will be no train in sight, with no sense of arrival. There is only a perpetual arrival, a timeless condition of infinite awareness.

Image
You must be accommodating with your teacher. You must have a sense of humor about your teacher and the impossible things they ask you to do.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The teacher has nothing to do with people who use their mental powers to block the enlightenment of others. These people lack control. What can you teach someone who lacks control?
Frederick Lenz
Image
Don't try to be someone. Be yourself. This is what mediation should teach you.
