Be happy and free. Be able to see psychically and understand what is going on in the universe, what your luminosity is about, and how to reorder your luminous fibers.

Nature is our friend - trees, squirrels, grass, fields, meadows, oceans - without people. Hike. Walk. Stroll. Bike. Swim. Be in a still place and feel eternity. Have a great time. Just feel it.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I think the most miraculous thing is learning. I get out of the way and let the students learn. Then you get to watch this amazing thing happen.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I am an expert in the world of the supremely happy because I am happy. I've never met anybody as happy as I am - that, in itself, should make you unhappy.
Frederick Lenz
Image
When something goes wrong with the body of energy that surrounds and protects your physical body, it will later show up in your physical body. The problem always starts in the subtle physical, and then manifests in the physical.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Never be bored. Energy lives off of attention. When you are bored you get drained.
Frederick Lenz
Image
What is self? Self is the mind viewing itself. That's all. The mind stops viewing itself and turns towards infinity. There is no self, there's only infinity.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The causal body is the determining factor in the changes that occur within your structure or growth rate.

Image
I do have a staff of what some people would consider to be very attractive, chic women. They are not on the staff because they are attractive and chic but because they care about the welfare of others.
