Some people see teachers and they associate the feelings of the other students who are present with the teacher. They psychically connect with all those hundreds of minds and they don't key to the teacher at all.

Image
Let's say you dissolve and become infinite light. There is this sense of being light even though the mind is not thinking it, one feels it, which indicates that one is still there - at least half of one.

There are those who feel that meditation is unrealistic or takes them out of the world, and if that was your experience with mediation, you weren't meditating.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You have to be courageous in life to allow a lightness to engage your being. It is easy to be a jerk. To be unhappy with all this weird stuff around us just seems to me to be such a waste. That's a jerk.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Think of what you love most in this world. This is what you will come back to in your next life.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Something in you wants to go beyond, wants to be free from this endless round of perception. Enlightenment is that.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The key to meditation is focusing on specific symbols. The symbols are the chakras.

Image
The night before Atlantis sank beneath the waves forever, the members of the MysterySchool set sail from their doomed continent in twelve boats, headed for twelve different points on the globe.
Frederick Lenz
Image
When we love others we see our oneness with others.

Image
The logical and extralogical exercises you do in meditation are very similar to advanced systems analysis and programming.

Visualize the soft white light continuing to expand as it gently swirls around, until it has filled the earth, the sky, the universe, and all of infinity.
