Combine meditation with career as a yoga. You will find that your practice will not be any less powerful than a person who lives in a monastery. You might even excel because practice in a monastery can get very one-sided.

Frederick Lenz
Image
People are taught to fear god. They are taught to fear everything. It has become such a natural state that no one questions it.
Frederick Lenz
Image
As long as you exist, you are aware of the manifest universes through the senses, through feelings and through mind.
Frederick Lenz
Image
People we are emotionally open to and close to affect us more than most people realize. If you are emotionally open to people, you will find yourself experiencing the mindset of others.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The key to all enlightenment is to have personal experiences in the world of light. All you need to do that is to meditate.

Image
If I give Susan a new Cuisinart then she'll be happy ... If she's thankful to me, my life will be better ... she will do something for me.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Meditation is something that is indigenous to the heart, which makes it hard to talk about. We don't necessarily need to talk about it too much other than to get a sense of the practice.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Your dharma is what kind of work you should be doing, what kind of people you should associate with, whether you should have a teacher or not. Dharma encompasses all things and it is specific to the individual.

Image
It is silly to drain others for when you drain others, you also pick up their vibratory force.
