If you go to a higher place of power, you can gain power there and you might even encounter some beings of knowledge and light that might aid you in some way.

Image
Why waste your time being around people who drag you down? You don't live forever, at least in this life.
Frederick Lenz
Image
In meditation the mind stops, thought ceases. When thought stops, the world stops. When the world stops, perception stops. When perception stops, the sense of I as a perceiver falls away.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Knowledge comes from personal experience of truth and awareness, not from conversation.
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

Get your emotions under control and your life under control. Work really hard and don't make a big deal out of yourself. Have humility. Believe in yourself. Don't get a fanatical fixation on a teacher.
