Eternity, I don't know what's right or wrong, good or bad. I may be doing what's right or I may be deceiving myself. So instead, what I'm going to do is give my life to you.

Rama is a fairly common name in India. It symbolizes an individual who is interested both in enlightenment and martial arts. I do not claim to have any past life connection with the historical Rama. It's just a name I liked.

You can take the kundalini from the crown center and bring it down. You can bring it up or you can stabilize them both. When you stop breathing in meditation, the kundalini is stabilized.

Image
You can lie to yourself and fool yourself and rationalize that the choice you're making is what is right and what is true and what leads to liberation, when it's actually only the fulfillment of desire.

Image
Balance is the most important of all qualities. We don't want a little bit of rapid growth and then to stagnate. We want continual growth, continual development, which implies balance, always.

Image
Even a good self will create another good self in the next life, and another one, and that good self will never be enlightened. You'll be bound, life after life, by good karma.

Love has very little to do with a person. It comes from us. You can love a surprisingly great number of people.

Image
Self-discovery is realistic. It's not built on ideas and philosophies. It's what works. Philosophies are nice if you like philosophies. But self-discovery is predicated on something that really brings you into enlightened states of mind.

Image
There are billions of people on earth. They are all transmitting thoughts and impressions, most of which are not directed towards enlightenment. If you are not focused, you will pick up these energies.

My feeling is that drugs and alcohol take away from the pure experience of meditation. That does not mean that occasionally, a person couldn't have a glass of wine or a drink.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Feel eternity around you. Not as an idea, not as a nice intellectualization, but to really feel it not to be some religious fanatic who's strung out on some weird idea of salvation to the exclusion of common sense.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Who needs to go the horror movies? Just go outside or turn on the TV. Buddha called it the nightmare of the day. Welcome to incarnate experience.

Image
I entered a spiritual community when I was 20, which I was in for 11 year, with very strict meditative practices, with an Eastern teacher. It was very much like a religious order.

Image
The universe is complicated and we're not going to get it all in one night or one incarnation or one infinity.
Frederick Lenz
Image
When you stop all thought, the battle is won. Everything is still and peaceful. You will come to see the eternal voidness of all things. You will see that nothing is, really.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Very often, in order to bring about stillness we have to be tirelessly active in the outer world. You might suppose this would agitate the mind. It will not, if it is the dharma.

Image
Who are these human beings anyway? They walk around, strut, fret, as if they owned the planet, or the goddamned universe. I mean, who do they really think they are?
Frederick Lenz
Image
Reincarnation is a process of moving from one state of mind to another. Whether you are in a body or out of a body is immaterial.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Power is the big obstacle, or one of them, that you have to overcome and learn to deal with effectively before you can reach enlightenment.

When the answer doesn't come, it's not supposed to come yet. Don't make eternity try and conform to what you want. That's desire. desire leads to frustration.
