You are happiest when you are most humble. You are most miserable when you are egotistical.

Image
You must learn to meditate and stop your thoughts. You must overcome all egotism and selfishness by serving others. You must cleanse your mind so that enlightenment will find a happy place to reside there.

Image
I can't give you happiness. I can show you where it is, but I can't give it to you. How can I give you what you already have? You have to get it yourself, inside your mind.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We're blind, deaf and dumb. It is only that Self, which is our life force that makes who and what we are. The realization of that is self-realization.

Tantra is for extremists, but balanced extremists.

Watch out for negative power places on the earth, if you can see they are reddish and they twist your feelings. They don't vibrate at a rate conducive to humanity.
Frederick Lenz
Image
What we are seeking is the nexus of all possible worlds and states of mind, which is within us. The source of yin and yang is within you.

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.

Enlightenment is x-rated, honey if you haven't checked it out. It's hot, it's vivacious. You're going to take your mind and merge it with the entire cosmos.

I think the most miraculous thing is learning. I get out of the way and let the students learn. Then you get to watch this amazing thing happen.
