Watch out for dark streets in big cities because there are a lot of strange beings that hang out there at night, let alone the people. Don't you remember anything from your other lives?
Frederick Lenz
Image
When you meditate you feel joy, harmony, peace, stillness, ecstasy, laughter, certainty, courage, strength, awareness and immortality. In the beginning you will feel these things vaguely, a distant knocking at your castle door.
Frederick Lenz
Image
To talk about realizing the Self is discontinuous because there is nothing to realize but the Self. There is nothing but realization.
Frederick Lenz
Image
