Image
As you go into light for longer and longer periods, as you progress in your meditation practice, you transform, you become illumined, you overcome all limitation, all sorrow, and all pain. You learn not to be bound by desire, and eventually you transcend death itself.

Image
When you meditate you feel joy, harmony, peace, stillness, ecstasy, laughter, certainty, courage, strength, awareness and immortality. In the beginning you will feel these things vaguely, a distant knocking at your castle door.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Time holds the final claim check for everything we gain or attain in this lifetime. All of our possessions, along with the people we love, are only loaned to us for a very short time by eternity.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Buddhism is the study of changing who we are, modifying or perhaps totally restructuring ourselves as perceivers.

Image
Smile sometimes when things aren't going well, and maybe realize when they aren't going well, they are.

Your intent is important. You will pull a very deep power when you are working not just for yourself, but you are working for your enlightenment and to aid others in their enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
Image
What we are seeking is the nexus of all possible worlds and states of mind, which is within us. The source of yin and yang is within you.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Consistency is nice, I think, personally. I like to be consistently happy. I like to be consistently more aware and more conscious of the truth.

Image
Think of your life as a field. The field is the field of action. What a mystic does is set up their life as a field of power.

Image
You're not the doer. What's to do? You can't undo what's not done. It's all one anyway, why think about it? But you need to discriminate, so you'd better think about it.

Image
Love can be used to drain people. Through eye contact people send a cord out to drain you long distance. Through sexual manipulation, anyone who can make you like them can drain you.

The world that you see is like a motion picture. We are engrossed in a film and we have forgotten that we're sitting in a movie theatre.
