Enter into the activities of the world, without getting overjoyed by success or totally put out by failure. Whether they love you or hate you, it doesn't much matter. What matters is stillness.

Image
I can throw a great party, but I don't know how to go to one. I can throw a party because when you throw a party you just work all the time. But I could never go to a party because I wouldn't know what to do ... I'd immediately find the kitchen and start to serve food.

Love can be used to drain people. Through eye contact people send a cord out to drain you long distance. Through sexual manipulation, anyone who can make you like them can drain you.

I am very interested in the enlightenment of women. Very few teachers of advanced self discovery work with women, and if they do it's usually in a very second handed way. They treat women as second class citizens.

Buddha indicated that the self, that part of you that incarnates from lifetime to lifetime was causal.

Image
Most successful people find out that the attainment of their goals doesn't necessarily bring them the happiness and joy they assumed their happiness is short-lived.

From a Buddhist perspective, it is incorrect to always assume that we know what is best.

Liberation means no rebirth. Now, does that mean you don't reincarnate? Well, you never did reincarnate.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The judgment that you pass today will only hinder a person in their spiritual evolution. All you do is say to the person, psychically: This is what you are. You're fixed. You can't change.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There is no beginning and there is no end. Nothing is final. There is no absolute. There is no highest point, nor is there a lowest point. These configurations are ideas. Ideas are primitive constructs, symbolic representations, reflections in a mirror.
Frederick Lenz
Image
When you stop all thought, the battle is won. Everything is still and peaceful. You will come to see the eternal voidness of all things. You will see that nothing is, really.

The world of time, of space and condition, pleasure and pain, birth, growth, maturation, decay and death, spinning, spinning, spinning this world, always spinning.
