Focus your attention on the center of your stomach, in the area of your naval. Feel that this is an area of tremendous strength.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Power comes from doing meditation, leading a controlled life, being conservative, not wasting all your energy on drugs, alcohol and sex and other pastimes. The guideline for all experience is how you feel afterwards.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Meditation is wondering. It is both wondering and wonder.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I am humility, nothing more and nothing less. I am one blade of grass in a sea of grass. I am one wave in an endless ocean of waves. I am one glowing star in a galaxy of stars.
