Image
Sexuality, for the person who practices tantra, is a marvelous way to experience illusion. Illusion is just another way of seeing things. There are no illusions because there is no self.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Yoga is a removal of the conscious awareness from the world as you know it - the world that you've constructed - through your focus within your mind, to something else.

Your states of mind do not occur randomly. They occur because of vibratory and karmic patterns.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Buddhism is simply a methodology, a way of becoming one with the part of ourselves that is happy.
