Personal power is a feeling that everybody is looking for called satisfaction. It is different from enlightenment, but you need personal power to become enlightened. Personal power is not the end of the process.

I like to shop. I don't always buy things when I shop, but I think it's fun to go out and look at the worlds of colors. I love to roam through supermarkets. I am a great lover of household products. I particularly like the packaging of cereal boxes.

In the second stage we stop thought for limited periods of time.

Think of your life as a field. The field is the field of action. What a mystic does is set up their life as a field of power.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Karma indicates action, but not necessarily physical action nor is karma a result in the sense of a reward.
Frederick Lenz
Image
When you change your state of mind, your whole life changes, nothing remains the same. Nothing looks the same, because you have changed.
Frederick Lenz
Image
To think you can just go out and help people and somehow get a better life is not reincarnation as I know it. A better life comes from being happy and inner realizations. Now if helping others adds to that, well then, it's great.

The key to all enlightenment is to have personal experiences in the world of light. All you need to do that is to meditate.
Frederick Lenz
Image
In deep meditation, all of the things that we call life, all of the combinations of experiences, fall away.

The network of enlightenment is a very wide network. It's not relegated to a simple type of being. It's not the network of the goody-goods.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If you are just spaced out and you have no purpose in life, you pick everything up. Everybody else's thoughts will come into your mind, everyone else's desires.

Salvakalpa samadhi is absorption in eternity to the point where there is no real concept of self but there's still a karmic chain. Nirvikalpa samadhi is absorption in nirvana concepts of self and no-self go away completely.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You become a monk and you practice and the teacher tells you what to do. If you find that you have a resistance to that, and the resistance is strong, it just means you're not interested. Why put yourself through some sort of torture. It means you weren't that interested.

No one sees life like you do, because you are no one. You change constantly, like the light outside the window.
Frederick Lenz
Image
An enlightened master is a perpetual source of the cosmic light because his mind is always merged with nirvana.

Your dharma is what kind of work you should be doing, what kind of people you should associate with, whether you should have a teacher or not. Dharma encompasses all things and it is specific to the individual.
Frederick Lenz

Not to follow the dharma leads to disaster. Life will be unhappy.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Dharma doesn't necessarily mean following a mundane and boring life. It means a life of high adventure, not a life of endless, boring repetition.
Frederick Lenz
Image
It's not going to be easy. It's the earth. What creates power in your life is when you perfect your mind, your career, and your associations with others.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You can just sweep the floor generally and gain nothing from it. Or you can figure out the best way to sweep the floor, put your power into it, use it as a concentration exercise, and be meditative.

Pure and simple, balance is happiness.
