Quote

A surfer is poised on a wave on his board, cutting quickly to the left. He'll always be there, in that moment. He's never left it. He had no birth, he didn't go to school, he didn't purchase the board none of those things ever were.

When the mind is not only silent, but that part of the mind that could become conscious that the mind is silent dissolves in light, then we see and feel purity. We become it, the purity of the eternal light.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Paradise is not the place you go when you die. Paradise is when your mind is in a perfect state.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Unless you have a great deal of purity, it's difficult to retain the higher light.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Kundalini is seen as a serpent that can shoot up the shushumna, past the chakras, opening them all and bringing you into different states of awareness.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Will something else. Have dreams and believe in them. They don't have to come true. They are just as true as a dream is. Life itself is a dream.
Frederick Lenz
Image
As a former English professor, I can assure you that grammar is the qualitative interpolation of language. Adjectives, pronouns, predicates, past pluperfect indicative - ridiculous. It has qualities, shadings, differentiations, rhythmic structures of symbolic meaning.
Frederick Lenz
Image
It's considered very, very bad karma, if I can cut to the chase, to take power from a teacher and not use it for something very positive.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The sights of infinity can be too strong. They can scorch the soul. It's best to take infinity on a little at a time.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Only the fool wants to go into battle to beat someone for the satisfaction of beating someone.

Image
The teaching process becomes most interesting for spiritual seekers once they've managed to hit the lower samadhis. However at that point many seekers become very egotistical.

Enlightenment requires discipline, balance, knowledge, power, happiness and a sense of responsibility and sacrifice, being able to do things with your life that you would not have done otherwise.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You don't have to do anything to be happy, nor do you have to avoid anything. Happiness comes from within your mind. Happiness already exists.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I've never met anyone who's serious about enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
Image
A lot of energy is lost to false teachers. Wherever dependency is created, energy is lost.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Success, failure, pain, small furry animals, household products, freeways, Star Wars systems - all are interlinked in the dance of tantra, the disco of the mind, the ballroom of cosmic consciousness.
Frederick Lenz
Image
When you could get angry with someone and separate yourself from them, don't do that. If you have people who are difficult to deal with, be neither attracted nor repulsed. Go a step higher.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Unfortunately the student often feels guilt for not living the type of life that their Teacher suggested, or they feel that they are intrinsically bad and incapable of leading a higher life.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The higher octave light that comes from samadhi, the kundalini of samadhi, this you can absorb continuously. You can never overload. It can never hurt you.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Some come to a teacher for power. They still have all the desires, angers and jealousies of an unevolved person. Consequently, they become destructive both to themselves and to others.
Frederick Lenz
Image
When you go into samadhi, either salvikalpa or nirvikalpa, what happens is you erase, you loosen, the aggregates. You simplify them.
