Quote

The biggest energy losses for most people are relationships, interrelations with other people. That is where we lose the most energy, through our attachments - opening up to people who might be very nice on the surface but underneath they have a lot of problems.

The Dali Lama and other notable Buddhist teachers have now indicated that since the world has plunged into a dark age, the information available in the tantras, which include the very, very powerful Kundalini release techniques, should be made available to the public.

Meditate on enlightenment. Read the exploits of the great teachers, the great saints. They'll inspire you. Their power is there.

Image
Beyond the subtle body we have something called the causal body that's more what we are. We are a series of interconnecting awarenesses. It's like a molecular bond, DNA, a double-helix, and we can change that.

Image
Illusions are shadows moving endlessly across the ground. The shadows are quite real but they're shadows. They have very little substance.

I like extreme athletics, extreme meditation and extremely beautiful women. Perhaps I'm an extreme person, or it's simply my Karma. But I must tell you, as if you hadn't read about me in a newspaper or seen me on a magazine format television show, there are extreme risks involved with all three.

The avoidance of that which causes you pain does not produce enlightenment. It produces avoidance. Religion is the avoidance of pain and suffering.

Zen doesn't believe in the reconciliation of opposites because from the point of view of Zen, there is no point of view.

Image
Many people excuse themselves by claiming that they don't have to do work anymore because they are beyond it. They are simply afraid of getting their hands dirty. Getting your hands dirty washes your being.

Image
If you are a successful person and you let a lot of people in and around your life, they can drain your power. It won't go to them, but it will leave you.

Image
How can you give something to someone who has everything? If you think men are tough to shop for at Christmas, try God. God has everything except one thing, friends. God doesn't have friends.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Focusing on an enlightened teacher is a doorway. It is not a person. We are focusing on the light that passes through them. We are moving through them into the planes of light and eventually to nirvana.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Zen students see themselves as athletes. Their competitive sport is enlightenment only with enlightenment do we compete.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I like Miracles. They inspire me. Miracles are the fun of enlightenment. When a teacher does a miracle, and everyone sees it, they have faith in what the teacher has to say about self-discovery.

Eternity does nothing but give.

In meditation, when your mind becomes perfectly still and calm, you will experience the golden light of eternity.

It is acceptance of the will of God - waiting, if necessary, forever, happily rising above your desires and above your frustrations to always do what is right. Always do what is right. This is the spiritual study.
Frederick Lenz
Image
From infinite awareness, something comes forward, a sense of infinite awareness and finite awareness. That perception is the birth of a being.

If you're in the tantric sex state of mind, what someone else experiences when they have sex is not what you'll experience. You won't even notice what your body is doing, particularly.

If you wake up for a moment and look around at life, you will observe that nothing here lasts, nothing works out. There are no happy endings. All accomplishments are washed away by death or by the next moment.
