Power has destroyed many people - not really. Power doesn't destroy anyone. People apply it poorly and it can ruin their lives. Power is like fire. Fire is neither good nor bad. It's how you use it.

Aum is the most powerful of all mantras. It is good to chant Aum seven or more times before and after each meditation. Chanting Aum puts you in harmony with the vibration of Eternity. Aum opens the gateway to the infinite highway of light.

Death doesn't change anything. It just gives you a new location. The physical mind dissolves. But the overriding state of mind that you die in is the state of mind that you are born into.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Eternity gives life to all and sustains all, transforms all on the wheel of dharma - until all attain perfection.

Nirvikalpa samadhi is another matter. I don't feel that's really up to us. That happens at a certain time when our being has gone through countless changes and refinements.

Once you are enlightened, you can do whatever you want without fear or sorrow. You can go snowboarding, get married, stay single, be rich and famous, or live unknown in a high Himalayan cave. It is up to you.

Image
Theoretically, everyone's inner being knows everything. There is a part of us that is aware of all things. But that doesn't necessarily do us a whole lot of good unless we are conscious of that.

The universe is a giant perceptual matrix. It perceives itself through its substance

It is good to take a weekend and just you, or you and your dog, head out into the wilderness. Walk by yourself. Be by yourself. It will help you in your search for stillness and perfection.

The relationship between the student and teacher is ultimately important. In higher spirituality we don't study a subject as much as a person.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If your life is based around your being comfortable, you're not very comfortable. You suffer quite a bit - becuase in the realm of the senses there is not only pleasure, but there is pain.
