Quote

We forget about the space between the stars, the pure and perfect space that's also the eye of God. To penetrate the mystery is to become the mystery to penetrate infinity is to become infinity to penetrate light is to become light.

Frederick Lenz
Image
You can think whatever you want, you can create all the labels you choose, but the universe just is. You can come to terms with it or not. If you don't come to terms with it, we say you live in illusion.

Don't fight with your thoughts or try to suppress them with your will. This will only frustrate you and bind you to your thoughts even more strongly.

Image
Perpetual wakefulness doesn't mean you have all physical knowledge, that you can speak all languages, that you can fix cars...that is a storybook, Hollywood version of the enlightenment experience.
Frederick Lenz
Image
As long as you exist, you are aware of the manifest universes through the senses, through feelings and through mind.

Image
The higher octave light that comes from samadhi, the kundalini of samadhi, this you can absorb continuously. You can never overload. It can never hurt you.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The emphasis is on meditation in Tantric Zen. The experience of meditation in formal practice, zazen, where you're sitting down and meditating and concentrating.
Frederick Lenz
