An enlightened teacher simply expresses enlightenment in their life by living. It is the student's job to gain the teachings. The teacher's job is just to be perfectly enlightened.

The 1990's will be a determining period of time for another cycle. If humanity during this time chooses to throw away a lot of the mirages and illusions it's fooled itself with, we will enter a very bright and golden age. It won't happen in one day.

You're standing in a closet, and you've been in it so long that you can't remember that there's anything else, that there's a huge house with lots of rooms and there are lands outside the house and planets and universes and creations
Frederick Lenz

By asseting the creation myth, in which God is a man over ealier creation myths in which God was viewed as a woman, men hoped to prove that the position of supremacy that they had assumed was Divine Law.

How do you become enlightened? I don't know: Luck, karma, skill, friends in high places, friends in low places.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There is no such thing as completion. These are only stages in an endless progression. There are no final outcomes or decisions, since nothing ever stays the same.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Stop trying to be different. Just do what you are good at, and work really hard. You have to work hard to be chaos.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We see the most beautiful creations whither. The beautiful young maiden becomes the old woman and she hates her body because it isn't what it used to be. The young man becomes the old dotard who has trouble remembering.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Begin to see that life is very, very complex. It is made up of thousands of dimensions of wonder.

Image
Christ was crucified because he threatened the tonal of the time. He was killed because he threatened the established order of the political regime.

Image
After enlightenment your body changes tremendously its very molecular structure changes just because the kundalini is always streaming through you.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The teaching of the ten thousand states of mind, particularly as one advances further, is done through transmission. This is where we differ from teaching algebra or calculus.
Frederick Lenz
Image
A better name for nirvana might be endless love. Love not even in the sense that we see it if we're watching the romantic movie, but love in a sense of no absence.

Where is truth? Is there truth in what I am doing now?
