Until your physical togetherness increases, your development in the inner worlds will not increase.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Don't try to hold people to you, don't try to push them away. Let life do everything for you. This is the proper attitude on the path of love.

Image
In the West people spend most of their time and energy working. The problem is you are so tired from work that you don't have much energy to meditate - unless you use work in a tantric way.

Image
A lot of people trash their subtle physical body with psychedelic drugs. While they do certainly give you experiences in altered levels of attention, you pay a price for it. They definitely screw up the subtle physical. Hatha Yoga can be good for that.
Frederick Lenz
Image
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.

Image
People have power and it is very important to respect that. Everybody's had thousands of lifetimes, and who knows what anyone has learned in a lifetime ... respect not fear.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Within silence all things are contained. What appears to our eyes to be life is but a thin curtain, a gauze penumbra, which stultifies our vision, which prevents us from seeing the truth.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The life of meditation and religious study is absolutely no guarantee of peak moments. Most people involved in religious study and meditation are downright bored, and they're as stuck in what they do as everyone else is.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Just as your physical body is composed of tissue, organs, bones, and different parts, so your subtle physical body has many different parts.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Material success is a way of tightening up your life so that you can move into higher planes of attention. You should try to do well in every aspect of your life, because each aspect of your life affects your total being.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Our adult personality is a mirror image of who we were in the last stage of our life in our previous incarnation.

Image
If you were in a perfected state of consciousness, you would only see perfection in all things.

Image
If you keep focusing, gradually thoughts will become quieter and quieter, gradually the images will disappear from the mind. What is happening is the kundalini energy begins to radiate and rise, it causes the mind to be quiet.

Image
It's nice if you love a liberated person, and you should, because they love you. They're lovable. They're children playing in a very, very unusual world filled with vortexes of dancing darkness and light.

Image
If you're very, very conservative and you like that sort of practice, go find a very conservative Zen master and just do traditional Japanese practice, which is not that traditional actually.

Women are terrified of their sexuality because they've got so much of it, and we live in a society that says they don't.
