Quote

I respect self-giving and I've tried to lead my life with that as the ideal. But real self-giving is when we take our being, that which is most precious to us, and we throw it into eternity with a total sense of offering.

To think that this is the only universe, that the physical creation is all there is, these are the dogmas of our times.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You are a fluid metaphor for existence. You are your own death and your own rebirth. Here is forever. It never changes. We bring perpetual oblivion until we change the world.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Eternity becomes more beautiful as we age, if we age well. If we age poorly, then we don't improve our minds we don't refine all the aspects of our being.

Image
To perfect your nature doesn't mean to have some idea of what a perfect person is and to simply be that. That doesn't work.

To not follow the dharma, either intentionally or through lack of awareness, creates a very low level of attention. In this low level of attention we make all kinds of mistakes and we are unhappy no matter what good fortune befalls us.

When time stops, matter stops.

Image
People don't necessarily take power from you for themselves. It just means they are operating at a lower attention level and you got pulled down by it. You are not sufficiently strong enough to be with someone and be unaffected.
Frederick Lenz
Image
When you can command the nagual you have a great deal of power, and people know it intuitively. They feel if they can plunge themselves into the nagual they can get anything they want in the tonal.

Image
Feel eternity around you. Not as an idea, not as a nice intellectualization, but to really feel it not to be some religious fanatic who's strung out on some weird idea of salvation to the exclusion of common sense.

Image
Many practitioners think there is some giant balance scale, where someone is keeping track, like Santa Claus, and that will determine your allotment of presents. That's a very exoteric understanding of reincarnation.

Wisdom is knowing that if you bend, you don't have to break. Sometimes it is necessary to go with the flow of life.

Image
You are a part of everything. You are like the guys in the bar and that gal on the corner with the red dress. We are a little bit of everyone. Let's not get too fancy here.

Until women assume their rightful place on earth there will never be an end to wars, cruelty and oppression.

You are sitting on this little planet, spaceship earth. The universe is very accessible to you. You don't need a spaceship to travel there. Most of the worlds are non-physical. And it's all God it's all eternity
