We seek absolute neutrality in Buddhism. We don't want to be drawn into anything in particular. We don't want to be pushed away from anything in particular.

Nothing is distinct and separate. The waves of the ocean arise and have a separate birth, crashing on the shore, but then back into the ocean they go. They never left it. There is no movement in Nirvana.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There are dimensions of power, there are dimensions of knowledge, and there are dimensions of confusion. The universe is a very, very big place. To think the universe is only composed of the physical universe is to be rather shortsighted.

The way you learn is by sitting with the Master, as he moves into those states of attention, you feel that and follow him. He generates tremendous energy when he's doing anything. You are taught inwardly.

You are separate from the universe, therefore you experience it.

Sahaja samadhi means that you have just gone back and forth so many times that there is no back and forth. All you see is enlightenment in this world and the other side. There is no other side anymore. It means that you are wakeful.

While I had many friends as a child I aslo kept a great deal to myself. I noticed that adults were drawn to me. They would talk to me for hours at my parents' parties. Strange to find yourself at seven, dressed in pagamas with feet, listening to adults tell you their deepest secrets.

We remember a few people who've been enlightened. We build churches and edifices in their name. But few people, if any, feel that they could ever be like that and if that's how they feel - that's how it will be.

Buddha indicated that the self, that part of you that incarnates from lifetime to lifetime was causal.

I can go shopping and pick up some Bounty Towels, the three pack, I can go home and open those up and look at them and see more infinity than in the Buddha's best meditation. If I can't do that, that means I'm wrapped by the Buddha's best meditation.

Karma simply means that whatever type of energy you project, or you allow to pass through your being, you will become for a period of time.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Everyone is afraid of enlightenment, knowledge, completion. People are afraid of being exposed.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Something in you wants to go beyond, wants to be free from this endless round of perception. Enlightenment is that.

Any of the exercises that you start out with will get the kundalini moving. You don't have to stay with them for the entire period of meditation.

Image
I love people who make mistakes. That's why I'm in the teaching business. I love people who make mistakes because I enjoy watching them learn and helping them, assisting them. I find it a beautiful process.

The teaching of the ten thousand states of mind, particularly as one advances further, is done through transmission. This is where we differ from teaching algebra or calculus.
