Nirvikalpa samadhi is another matter. I don't feel that's really up to us. That happens at a certain time when our being has gone through countless changes and refinements.

Nirvikalpa Samadhi means you are sitting in meditation and you go beyond the planes of light to nirvana. Then you come back and here you are back in the saddle again.

There is a still center of the universe. Within that still center are all things, all achievements, all loses, everything and nothing exist there.

If you live in the city, it is necessary to get out of it on weekends. Then you will realize that most of the thoughts and desires you have are not yours. You will see what is you.

Love is, in its essence, a free, formless strand of luminosity.
Frederick Lenz

The final result of all life is your awareness. Your awareness is existence.

Image
Chakras really are dimensions. We think of them as objects, but they're not really. They're dimensional access points, whereby we can enter into different levels of mind, and that happens automatically.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We sit here on the oasis of human consciousness and the verbal plane trying to talk about something that we just have to go and see and do and feel.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Self-discovery is a process of dissolution and creation. Dissolution means envelopment in eternity. Creation is bringing into focus new awareness
Frederick Lenz
Image
The teaching process is lengthy because there are many, many states of mind to go through. And in each state of mind there is a different aggregate of self to be explored.

Reality is not the world as you perceive it. Reality is the world perceived through enlightenment. It's the same world but it's not the same world.
