A real liberated teacher never asks for a commitment from a student. That's absurd, a person wants to be there and they want to learn everything they can.

Love can be the only answer. But snowboarding also works for me. Because I love snowboarding!

Beyond the parameters of the self is an ocean ... and it's most excellent.

A mantra is a very powerful word. It vibrates like music does, only not on this plane but on other planes of reality. It creates a powerful force. It starts the kundalini moving.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Your mind is your life. It's your essence and your substance. It's the part of you that has always been and will always be. Its formations change constantly, which is what makes you always new.

Self-hate doesn't create enlightenment. It just causes you to not enjoy the current moment.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Your states of mind do not occur randomly. They occur because of vibratory and karmic patterns.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Sight is not absolutely essential in this process, but we use sight because it is the dominant sense. It's easiest to interrupt the flow of thought in sense perception and move the mind beyond sense perception with sight.

Humility is the time that you spend in love with existence.
Frederick Lenz
Image
In the dead world of the Western mind all that is seen are shades of gray. There's a cloud over every experience. There's no possibility of divine incarnation, divine intervention, let alone that one's self in every moment is divine.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There's a path in enlightenment called the path of negation where we intentionally throw ourselves into experiences that are extremely transient. In other words, we do all the stuff you're supposed to normally avoid to become enlightened, intentionally.

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

Some people think Taoism means not doing anything, just going on with your life. That has little or nothing to do with Taoism.

Men fearing their innate power, pushed woman back into slavery.
