Don't become a slave to success or failure, family, friends, possessions. If these things come to you in life, enjoy them, but fix your consciousness on that which does not change.
Frederick Lenz
Image
It is your causal body that is the real you. At the end of each incarnation, it carries the knowledge and karmic patterns of that lifetime, in addition to all of your other previous lifetimes, into your next lifetime.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You are on a vast wheel of birth and death. You have been through thousands of lifetimes, thousands yet to come.

The kundalini rises and the kundalini is hot, it's a hot energy. Sometimes you feel it cascading up your spine, and it's kind of searing or it's tingling, it almost feels sexual.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Say, for example, you develop the ability to make parking meters disappear. It's probably easier to put a quarter in it. That would be the wisdom on the subject.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Someone else would come, another self that was a little more refined, that had a little more purity, a little more humility, because I was quite egotistical, I thought I was quite wonderful.
Frederick Lenz
Image
To love is to be balanced, to extend one's self beyond the sense of self.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Everything we see is an illusion. Even our perceptions of truth are illusory, illusory in the sense they're not complete.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You human beings think that yoga is in some way going to make everything you want to happen, work out. You are going to be able to avoid what you don't want. That is not yoga. That is desire and aversion.

Be the exceptional being who separates themselves from the herd and the fate of the herd.
