It is very important that your career raises your awareness. If your career is lowering your personal power, then it has got to change.

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.

Image
A lot of energy is lost to false teachers. Wherever dependency is created, energy is lost.
Frederick Lenz
Image
A good teacher will show you the ropes in the world of power. They will give you the wisdom that is necessary to be able to use power. You just don't give a kid a new Ferrari. You teach him how to drive it.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We use the word God as representative of that which is timeless, immortal and infinite, that which produces order, which holds together the nucleus of an atom, which gives us life and death, neither masculine nor feminine, not a person, beyond any comprehension.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I think it is very important to view life in terms of winning and losing until complete enlightenment has occurred.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The teaching process is lengthy because there are many, many states of mind to go through. And in each state of mind there is a different aggregate of self to be explored.
Frederick Lenz
Image
When we talk, answer questions, I'm addressing your tonal. I'm teaching you a way or a series of ways of dealing with the world.

At times of extreme intensity, the kundalini can become active. Suddenly a 70-year old lady, who can't lift a bag of prunes, will lift an automobile a few inches because her grandchild got stuck under it.
