There are many, many different worlds. Just as there are different continents on earth, there are different dimensional planes.
Frederick Lenz
Image
In the process of self-discovery you will learn to be kind when you could be harsh. You will learn to forgive, mostly yourself. You will learn to be patient because you may have to wait quite a while to become that which you will eventually be.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Those who pursue a worldy life - who try to get others to do what they want, to peform for them, who use and abuse in the name of their own happiness - are miserable.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You can just sweep the floor generally and gain nothing from it. Or you can figure out the best way to sweep the floor, put your power into it, use it as a concentration exercise, and be meditative.
Frederick Lenz
Image
A person with power has control of their emotions. A person with power can stop fear, stop depression, or they can augment a positive emotion.
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.
