In Zen we strive to bring both the mind and the body into perfect combination, so that there is no intrinsic difference between them.
Frederick Lenz
Image
To have the detached eye of the occultist, to look outward, to not be so self-reflective and to learn to step through the various viewpoints of consciousness - that we call occultism - leads to freedom.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We are intelligent atoms. We are intelligent organic structures. We can change who we are. We can heal ourselves. With genetic engineering, we are considering changing the physiological structure of the body.
