Perfection is not a final state. It is a state of mind. There are ten thousand states of mind.

When it comes time to die, you will not be afraid. By meditating, you will have already seen beyond life and death and you will see there is nothing to fear.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If you become obsessive in spiritual practice, if you just try and try, you are not going to be happy. You are going to be obsessive.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Take a deep breath and exhale slowly. Mentally picture all tiredness, tension, and fatigue leaving you. Visualize that a wave of golden light is entering you at the top of your head and passing throughout your entire body.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Inspire people very selectively with sincerity and with respect. You want to increase your energy? Then want, inside your heart, to inspire others. It will lift you tremendously.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There are beings who come into this world, from time to time, not simply with miraculous powers, which we call the siddhas, but with a miraculous awareness that is so strong yet so subtle that anyone or anything that touches that awareness is transformed forever.
Frederick Lenz

Image
Much of the time your attention is directed towards the world of sexuality, it's done through the second attention of a woman - not simply in your physical presence but from thousands of miles away.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I observe that more evolved souls are now reincarnating as women. Women find it easier to meditate and easier to develop their psychic abilities.
