Why do everything perfectly? Isn't perfection just an illusion? Tell me if it's an illusion if they don't fix your car perfectly next time you bring it in.

You are asleep and have forgetten that you are dreaming. You mistakenly believe you are awake.

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.

Frederick Lenz
Image
Spend time alone in areas of low population density, where you can feel the stillness. Go out into the desert or up into the mountains or to the ocean where there aren't too many people.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The causal body holds the structure. The causal body is the coding. So you are not just scattered all over the ten thousand states of mind.
Frederick Lenz
Image
At this point you are so far away from what you really are, it's ridiculous.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Smile sometimes when things aren't going well, and maybe realize when they aren't going well, they are.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Power will take us beyond the gravity field of the imprint.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You should always feel, no matter how many times you've meditated before, that this is your first meditation. You have no idea what will happen or what won't happen.
Frederick Lenz
Image
This solidity is not true. The apparent solidity is the delusion of the senses and of the self. Everything is made up of infinite, intelligent light.

Image
They reach the point where they feel, I can go into samadhi now. I can do everything on my own, and that's exactly where they stay, in the lower samadhis. There are many, many people on this earth who can go into salvakalpa samadhi.
