Sometimes there are people who only meditate with a teacher. They ride the teacher's energy. They don't really learn how to meditate. They learn how to ride the energy.

Frederick Lenz
Image

Frederick Lenz
Image
Well, what is God, then? God is that which watches. God is neither masculine nor feminine, although God can assume any form. God is that eternal reality that is in everything.
Frederick Lenz
Image

Frederick Lenz

Dharma doesn't necessarily mean following a mundane and boring life. It means a life of high adventure, not a life of endless, boring repetition.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You can transmit the kundalini physically when people are there, and of course, long distance. It is energy, inter-dimensional energy.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Illusions are shadows moving endlessly across the ground. The shadows are quite real but they're shadows. They have very little substance.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The way we gain wisdom in meditation is not by explanation. If you go into the planes of light, you will come out of the meditation knowing things ... things that are inexpressible.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Whatever you need will be provided. Eternity takes care of everything perfectly. So never want for that which you do not have you have exactly what you need.
