If I give Susan a new Cuisinart then she'll be happy ... If she's thankful to me, my life will be better ... she will do something for me.

Most people abuse power. They use power to dominate others. They use power to destroy others. Ultimately when you do this, you lose it.
Frederick Lenz

Karma is not a receipt of a physical experience, because of what someone has done.
Frederick Lenz
Image
People are so tired. The world is set up to exhaust you and drain you. That's how humankind has devised their world. Life is not necessarily that way
Frederick Lenz
Image
If you are truly wise, then you reflect the universe and you are relational in your approach to things. You are a mirror of infinity. That is wisdom.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Alow immortality to work through you. Be but a mere instrument. And that instrument should be so absorbed in the perfect perfection of existence, that it knows not even that it is absorbed.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The illusion of purpose is to be avoided. The illuion of lack of purpose is to be avoided.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Enlightenment is to be outside the circle, the circle of death and rebirth. There is a circle inside you. If you meditate and focus on your third eye, you will see a circle of light.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Some of the most exalted states of consciousness I experienced were in bed with someone, alone, or with my spiritual teacher. There was never a difference for me.
Frederick Lenz
Image
A teacher will alter the balance of power by actually lifting a person into other states of mind. In those states of mind the teaching will take place in non-verbal ways through direct experience.

Image
Where you live is important. It is where you dream. You lose or gain a tremendous amount of energy there.
