Enlightenment is the culmination of self-knowledge, pure unadulterated knowledge. Not knowledge you can get from reading a book, it comes from perfecting your awareness, your mind.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There's no place to go. There's nothing to attain. There's nothing to be reached. Love itself is all that you want.
Frederick Lenz

Life should be continually brighter. We are continually seeking our own innocence. We want to recapture it for eternity. It's in there, but we lose touch with it.

If you allow people, places and things, to pass through your mind during meditation, you will pull in all those other auras and you be much more confused and dissociated than you were prior to your meditation experience.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Who do you think of first in the morning? Good manipulators do it in the dream plane. The morning practice of meditation increases the aura to ward of negative energy. Meditate before bed if you are being attacked psychically.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Our failure to see and access the pure joy and radiance of life is owning to a lack of awareness. In any situation there is beauty. Even at the moment of one's death there is beauty.
Frederick Lenz
Image
In my estimation it's silly to go out and spend your time aiding people if you don't have your own act together yet. So I'd rather you spend the time, get it right, and it'll all work out a lot better.
Frederick Lenz
Image
With the practice of meditation you can move into other states of mind, sort of ungluing the glue that binds you to a particular perceptual mode, a way of seeing life which is an illusory one.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Obviously there is a lot more ecstasy in the spirit than in the flesh but the flesh has its moments!
Frederick Lenz
Image
You will always see, if this group is a highly evolved group or on the way up, a movement towards oneness.
Frederick Lenz
Image
When I'm in the second attention, when I stop looking through eyes that have been formed for me by others, I see something else. I see power.
Frederick Lenz
Image
People want to will their self realization. They want to know what the right thing to do all the time is. There is no right thing. There's no code. There are certain basic recommendations.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I too have experienced the extreme pain of living, but I have also experienced some of its remarkable ecstasy.

When you meditate and still your mind, you will gain the wisdom of knowing things in this world, in other worlds and beyond worlds - it just comes to you.
