Quote

One should never become devoted to a teacher, any more than one should become devoted to a statue of a god. There is only one thing to be devoted to, and that is your mind.

My problem with L. A. was that I could see the air I was breathing, I don't particularly like crowds, and I was much better at snowboarding than I was at surfing.

Image
Tantra works well for people who are engaged in relationships and sexuality. Sex itself is just an action. It's just part of the dream.

Image
There are dark forces in the world that would have you believe that you can't succeed and that you're a failure and that you're evil and all this nonsense.

If you accentuate yourself, thinking or acting like you are important, then you must want to look good to someone in this world. In order to impress or sway anybody in this world, you have to be in this world yourself.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Beyond this world and beyond all other worlds there is an all-perfect light. It is pure intelligence, ecstasy, peace and happiness. It is the light that shines beyond darkness, time, space and dimensionality.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I don't engage in brainwashing, I don't dictate forms of lifestyle, I don't perform mass marriages or even singular marriages. I don't tell people what to believe.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I teach meditation and the pathway to enlightenment because I know that there are other people who, like i did a long time ago and continue to, want to climb that mountain to the highest light.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Meditation is essential because meditation opens the mind to itself.

The top of the band would be happiness, contentment and peace of mind.

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.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We've developed a very complex filing system for existence. We see things in terms of good or bad. We feel happiness, joy, pain, loss, guilt and remorse.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Fulfillment of desire taken to extremes doesn't necessarily make us happy. It tends to make us rather cynical.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Women have allowed you to think that, which is a part of their inaccessibility in using their second attention.

The Winter Solstice is the time of ending and beginning, a powerful time -- a time to contemplate your immortality. A time to forgive, to be forgiven, and to make a fresh start. A time to awaken.

Purity is very fragile when it takes physical manifestation. It is very, very strong in its original aspect.
