Quote

To not follow the dharma, either intentionally or through lack of awareness, creates a very low level of attention. In this low level of attention we make all kinds of mistakes and we are unhappy no matter what good fortune befalls us.

An advanced way to meditate, of course, is to focus on your teacher. If you have a spiritual teacher and you focus on them during mediation, then you access the light that flows through them.

Image
A great deal of energy is lost in the study by people who interact with non-physical beings. They get into your mind and your body by approaching you in the dream plane, promising you powers, playing on your desires. They sap your life force.

Image
If you meditate, you can experience the other worlds, the far-flung eternities and dimensions - and you are not stuck in any one of them.

Zen is the path that focuses the most upon meditation. It is almost exclusively a path of meditation.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Only the enlightened are consistently happy. Their happiness is not predicated upon the events and experiences that take place in this world. Instead it is based on the boundless inner energy they gain from their connection with the world of enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
Image
No matter how many times you have failed you must keep going forward. Only when you have become humble will you begin to grasp the meaning of life.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We live in a world where no one believes. Enlightenment and knowledge are laughed at. Those who seek and teach the mysteries are scorned and often persecuted. Welcome to the planet earth: environment hostile.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I think to be in a monastery or an ashram is not always the answer because we don't fight, we kick back. We don't listen to Sri Krishna.

Humility is the time that you spend in love with existence.

Enlightened teachers and people who help them, have a lot of trouble. People try to interfere with the work and spread awful rumors about you.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You have to be careful that in giving energy, you do not allow yourself to be excessively drained or used.
Frederick Lenz
Image
As we go within the self, we discover that all the voices of our past lives are still there. As we peel ourselves, which is a process very much like peeling an onion, we discover that there are many selves within the self.

There's no right or wrong in the study of enlightenment. There's only experience.
