Enlightenment doesn't mean you stop being a student. Being a student is a state of mind. Enlightenment simply means that you are everything and everywhere. It doesn't preclude being a student.

The teaching of the ten thousand states of mind, particularly as one advances further, is done through transmission. This is where we differ from teaching algebra or calculus.

Stop trying to be different. Just do what you are good at, and work really hard. You have to work hard to be chaos.
Frederick Lenz

We live in a world that is dominated by war, hate, violence and suspicion. Those are the things that come naturally in this world. So you have to will something else.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If your're not having a very good time with your life, its because you haven't done much for others. You may have done many things but you havent done much for those around you.

If, at the office or in different exchanges in daily living, you have to spend time with people who are at lower power levels, then you have to be aware of that and keep your awareness very much within.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You are a part of everything. You are like the guys in the bar and that gal on the corner with the red dress. We are a little bit of everyone. Let's not get too fancy here.

Something in you wants to go beyond, wants to be free from this endless round of perception. Enlightenment is that.
Frederick Lenz
Image
As you learn to accept that the body is transitory, as you watch it with love, but without attachment, the body will develop purity.

If you suffer in love, if you have problems in love, it's because you don't have enough humility.
