The sights of infinity can be too strong. They can scorch the soul. It's best to take infinity on a little at a time.
Frederick Lenz

There's a resonance inside us, a sense of who we are. We're a multi-bodied traveler. We're an essence. We're a feeling, an awareness that has an ancient existence.

In our culture we are taught to be accessible and open it signifies a good person. In mysticism it is the opposite, people can scan you and drain you.
Frederick Lenz
Image
A child is imprinted not by simply teaching. But their attention is like soft clay. The attention field of adults is stratified. They are like hard clay and we push them on each side of the child's attention field.

If you can't feel grateful, if you're discouraged or depressed, then think of the fact that things could be a lot worse than they are.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The universe is perfection. But there are different views that universe provides for itself to view itself. Beyond all views there is nirvana.
Frederick Lenz
Image
When you go into samadhi, either salvikalpa or nirvikalpa, what happens is you erase, you loosen, the aggregates. You simplify them.

Image
The throat chakra is the center that is aesthetic. It gives an appreciation of beauty.

Image
Kundalini can be transmitted. A person who is very adept at the enlightenment process can transmit it. Whether you feel it or not, it's affecting you in a very positive way.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Selfless giving is friendliness. An attitude towards life, a reverence for life. It is one of the highest of all ways.
Frederick Lenz
Image
How could sexuality be anything but God? It's the creation of life. Life is experiencing itself in endless forms.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Meditation is a refocusing on symbols. It's not emptiness. We are using symbols, doorways to step from one world to another, from darkness into light, from death to immortality.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Nature is our friend - trees, squirrels, grass, fields, meadows, oceans - without people. Hike. Walk. Stroll. Bike. Swim. Be in a still place and feel eternity. Have a great time. Just feel it.
