Personal power is the ability to go into other planes, to cross that threshold from one dimension to another. Why do that? Because it is there to do knowledge, power, and beauty lie in those other worlds.
Frederick Lenz

Most people think happiness comes from experiences in the world. The fulfillment of desire causes a type of happiness. But as soon as they experience passes, the happiness passes.
Frederick Lenz
Image
It is very important to always hold the thought of an enlightened teacher in your mind in a very positive way. When you direct negative energy towards someone who is powerful, it has a terrible bounce-back effect.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Beyond happiness and unhappiness is truth. Truth is not affected by anything in the relative world. Truth is the unifying aspect of existence.
Frederick Lenz
Image
How do you become enlightened? Have fun, meditate, don't take yourself too seriously, brush between incarnations and have a good teacher.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Who wants to be stuck in being religious and being spiritual either? That's not freedom. You've just exchanged handcuffs for leg irons - which doesn't mean that you should avoid enlightenment.

The biggest energy losses for most people are relationships, interrelations with other people. That is where we lose the most energy, through our attachments - opening up to people who might be very nice on the surface but underneath they have a lot of problems.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Self-hate doesn't create enlightenment. It just causes you to not enjoy the current moment.
Frederick Lenz
Image
All he said was that we're all free if we pursue spirit. That's all he said. He didn't say let's set up a Vatican Concil. He didn't say, Martin Luther, you need to put our demands on the door.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Inside you is eternity. A human being is not so simple. We're told that we're Ted or Sally or Willie or whatever and that we grow up and have experiences. That has nothing to do with what life is. You are eternity.

Image
In dream yoga we use the etheric double and go beyond the confines of the physical, it's very ecstatic.
Frederick Lenz
Image
No matter how many times you have failed you must keep going forward. Only when you have become humble will you begin to grasp the meaning of life.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Have a wonderful sense of humor, particularly about yourself and your own situation. Yet don't simply laugh. Work to change and improve things even though, at times, it seems impossible.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Reason is a terrible trap because you will be satisfied with answers. And if you are satisfied with answers, you'll never come to know what life really is.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There is only black light between the stars. It may seem that it's darkness, but it's really black light. There is no such thing as darkness. Darkness is a human concept. There's only black light between the stars.

People on the pathway to enlightenment become very successful in whatever they approach, because they have learned to discipline the mind.
