Buddhism suggests that you have that choice you are in the driver's seat. Hertz or somebody has put you there. You have an absolute choice about what you experience in your mind.

As you become more aware of your own imperfections, you simultaneously become more aware of the overall perfection of the universe.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The dreams of the self are manifold and endless and they exist in all the myriad worlds and conditions that appear to have solidity. When you're dreaming at night, something seems very real, but when you wake up the dream is gone and so is all that apparent solidity.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The Ten Commandments have a social purpose, for people who still need a social purpose.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Reincarnation is not something that occurs at death it is something that takes place at every moment. Death and rebirth are occurring every second.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Even enlightened people think of themselves as beginners. They probably think of themselves as beginners more than others do - perpetual beginners who begin again each moment because their subject is endless.
Frederick Lenz

In enlightenment you have to convince a teacher not only that you are worthy of teaching, but then that they should show you some of the secrets.
Frederick Lenz

If you seek to change your life and attain enlightenment, you must deal with these questions. If there is no truth in this, then ignore these silly words.

Image
Love comes from ourselves, not from someone else.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Nobody can make you happy but yourself. Things occupy us, people occupy us, but they don't make us happy. If we are honest, what makes us happy is to experience spirit.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You are complete. Completion has taken place in you eons ago. Accept yourself. Enjoy yourself. This time will never be again, so fulfill the moment with your own self-joy.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You may feel a sensation of floating. You may see colors, maybe no phenomena, it doesn't matter. You are absorbing power.
Frederick Lenz
Image
People don't necessarily take power from you for themselves. It just means they are operating at a lower attention level and you got pulled down by it. You are not sufficiently strong enough to be with someone and be unaffected.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You draw the mystical kundalini from the earth. Earth is an element. Fire, air, earth, water, and ether - the mystical kundalini comes through them all.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Let the rain of unhappy and tragic experiences fall, as sometimes it inevitably must, even in the lives of the enlightened masters. If your mind has become one with nirvana, you will remain happy at all times.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The abuse of power takes happiness away.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You can move in and through the astral worlds once you have gained control of your subtle body. The astral worlds are the back corridors of eternity!
Frederick Lenz
Image
There is no way to explain enlightenment. It is just a word to indicate something beyond, something very, very far beyond the normal human condition.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Selfless actions create a higher karma, which brings you into higher states of mind. When you are in higher states of mind you will see things that you never saw before.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If you think you are a vile slime, that means that you aspire to something higher...It's because you have a sense of perfection, and you obviously want that, that you find something wrong.

Everything aids everything, because all things are a reflection of the Buddha mind, of the mind of Enlightenment.
