Seeing occurs, of course, through stopping thought. Thought is the fog. When thought stops in meditation, at any point, when there's no thought, we see the other shore.

People who ponder too much about the subject of enlightenment don't progress very fast. It is interesting to know it's there, but you can't know what it's like until you get there.

Image
If all the members of a team have synchronized their energy and they have all subordinated their egos to success of the team, then we have a functioning unit. If we have a lot of hotshots who want attention, you won't really play that well.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Those who practice deserve your respect. If you respect them, you respect yourself. It's easy to be critical, but it does no good. What's important is to be supportive of all who practice.

After two or three days, the door will close and you will not be able to make those changes as easily.
Frederick Lenz
Image
So the intelligent use of power is to never interfere with anyone else's success. Use the power you get to just be more successful yourself.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Fear can be used to get into your attention. Any way a person can get you to think of them, allows them to drain you.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Those who scorn and hate the world and hate themselves miss the point. The point was that there wasn't one. There was no place to go to.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The people who imprinted us are not completely happy and they are not completely powerful. So naturally, we have to fight our whole life against that imprinting.
Frederick Lenz
Image
An enlightened person lives in the world, passes through the ten thousand states of mind, but they are not bound by them. They can go beyond perception.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Some people get tired of continual perception of the finite universe. They feel the perception of the universe over and over in variant forms is kind of an unhappy condition, because it doesn't last.

Image
You're always looking for the ultimate. It's kind of like journeying to Ixtlan. You're never going to get there, but that is no reason not to try.

Image
Start a meditation session by repeating a mantra, perhaps, Aum, which is the most powerful of all mantras. Then, after repeating the mantra perhaps a dozen times, focus on a yantra.
