We have to constantly ask ourselves: Who am I?
Frederick Lenz
Image
Who do you think of first in the morning? Good manipulators do it in the dream plane. The morning practice of meditation increases the aura to ward of negative energy. Meditate before bed if you are being attacked psychically.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There are physical karmas. They are reactions and results from actions. But those are bound to a particular lifetime.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The Zen master can see precisely what it will take to cause your awareness to become free. But the Zen master can't do it for you.
Frederick Lenz
Image
When you are not following dharma, then you will not be at peace. You will not be happy. The simplest things will seem to be endless obstacles.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Eternity gives life to all and sustains all, transforms all on the wheel of dharma - until all attain perfection.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There's no way we can possibly understand anything. But we can see things, we can perceive things, and we can wonder. We can just be in a world of awe and wonder. That's the best we can do.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Something in you wants to go beyond, wants to be free from this endless round of perception. Enlightenment is that.
