Never expect anything from a particular meditation. Once you have gotten started, different methods get you into the stream, let the meditation take you wherever it would like to.
Frederick Lenz
Image
It is necessary to go through all the daily tasks and bring perfection to them, to learn to be perfect in your meditation, and to win in all your endeavors so that one day you will complete again.
Frederick Lenz

Life is an endless experience of God's. God doesn't even exist in nirvana, yet God exists in all other realms.
Frederick Lenz

Frederick Lenz
Image

While we're in the dream, these are useful notions.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Wisdom is the ability to do two things at once, to be in the world and enjoy it and at the same time, to be in the realms of light, to be in samadhi.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Taoism has no rules. It's a suggestion for preceiving life in its wholeness, without unnessary categorization, yet enjoying the beauty of categorization.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If you are not as happy as you used to be, chances are you are not meditating properly. You may be trying to skip steps. You are using power incorrectly. Your motives are not pure. You don't vibrate quickly.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The state of mind that you are in causes you to act in a certain way. Your actions will bear results. The ultimate result of all karmas and actions is state of mind. You are your state of mind.
Frederick Lenz
Image
As you pass through this life, have you done all that you really wish to for others?
Frederick Lenz
Image
An individual has to be tenacious enough to become enlightened.

Life hurts at times. It hurts to have a body at times, hurts to be born, hurts to live, hurts to die, but it can be ecstasy beyond comprehension. You can know that ecstasy. It is inside of you.
