If you try to pull too much power through too soon, you will injure yourself.

Image
Meditation is the pathway to enlightenment. Move the ego aside and be still, open, clear, bright and fully conscious.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Don't run away from the world. The world is God. Don't run towards the world. God is the void. Don't be afraid of the complexities of this life, nor the stark simplicity of death.
Frederick Lenz

If you ever want to study acting you should be around an enlightened person for a while, because all they do is play roles, since they no longer have a self.
Frederick Lenz

Your own nature is pure, spotless, and pristine. Through association we drag ourselves down or we can raise ourselves up.

Happiness does not come from external objects. It comes from peace of mind. You can be famous you can be a king, a queen, anything. It does not necessarily bring happiness or peace of mind. It comes about through following dharma.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Chakras are mystical energy centers that exist within the human aura. Tremendous occult power resides in a person's chakras. Siddha masters draw upon that power during meditation, store it within themselves, and later use it to perform miracles.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Nirvikalpa samadhi or sahaja samadhi is all the way up. You get above the cloud line to the land of eternal snows and it's ecstasy beyond ecstasy.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The majority of the ten thousand states of mind cannot be discussed. It is rather a question of teaching a person to step outside the conceptual framework they have and transmitting blocks of awareness to an individual psychically.
Frederick Lenz
Image
It is quite possible to speed up the healing process to the part of the body that is injured. This all has to do with the release of chi.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Chi is developed through meditation, through studying with one who has a great deal of it.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There is a difference between willing and forcing. Willing something simply means you are not being lazy. Forcing something means you are trying to do something inappropriate or in an inappropriate way.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Only until you rise above the use of the second attention for manipulation that you can enter into a consciousness in which there is enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Have a wonderful sense of humor, particularly about yourself and your own situation. Yet don't simply laugh. Work to change and improve things even though, at times, it seems impossible.
