If you keep focusing, gradually thoughts will become quieter and quieter, gradually the images will disappear from the mind. What is happening is the kundalini energy begins to radiate and rise, it causes the mind to be quiet.

Frederick Lenz
Image
You can measure your power in your ability to stop thought. The longer you can stop thought, the more powerful you are.

Meditation is wondering. It is both wondering and wonder.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Unfortunately the student often feels guilt for not living the type of life that their Teacher suggested, or they feel that they are intrinsically bad and incapable of leading a higher life.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Power comes from the navel center. If you meditate for an hour or so a day and you focus on that sphere, you will release a tremendous power that will enter your body. We call it the chi.
Frederick Lenz
Image
To have to liberate everybody doesn't sound very free to me. You're gong to go liberate people who maybe don't want to be liberated.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Karma is not a receipt of a physical experience, because of what someone has done.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Women have allowed you to think that, which is a part of their inaccessibility in using their second attention.
