Frederick Lenz Quotes
As long as you fight the system, all of the things that are part of the tonal of the times, then you will be imbalanced and will not do well in the other levels of attention.
When you're in the desert you witness acts of power. When you're in the world of the tonal, drop all that nonsense, become logical and orderly and have fun with that.
When you can command the nagual you have a great deal of power, and people know it intuitively. They feel if they can plunge themselves into the nagual they can get anything they want in the tonal.
What they should really do, if they want supreme power, is develop the tonal to perfection.
The danger in mysticism is that you push yourself too far into the nagual too soon. This is obsession.
We break off obsession by laughing at ourselves, by learning to be funny, by just seeing the joy in life and by having a terrific love for this world.
Humor is the balance of the tonal. Within the tonal you've got reason and humor. The two balance each other so that the tonal can accept and understand the journeys into the nagual.
You'll find that you will be able to reorder the island of your tonal so that it's in good shape - logical, orderly, neat, and well-defined.
When your home is perfect, every plant in place, every piece of furniture suits the space completely - you've completed a task.
The way you dress is extremely important. It demonstrates your spirit. It's the guise through which the world evaluates and views you.
Every person who sees you physically evaluates you and projects energy towards you based upon the way you've dressed.
A person who doesn't dress well, who doesn't spend time and attention with their physical being, has a very loose being.
Consider the way you speak and your use of language; it's a reflection of your warrior spirit.
The process is not simply of constructing a new tonal from scratch, but reordering the one you have.
Your tonal will enable you to deal with the world well, to do well in a career and interact with others.
When every aspect of your life is impeccable, then you will find that there's no limit to your journeys into the infinite.
Another condition can be attained ... a condition of ecstasy. A condition so far from what the people of planet Earth experience it's not even discussable.
The world of time, of space and condition, pleasure and pain, birth, growth, maturation, decay and death, spinning, spinning, spinning this world, always spinning.
Nirvana is the other side, the source of all things, where all the aggregates come from, where the templates of infinity are.
Nirvana isn't a physical place. It is not like going to heaven. It just means no more individualized awareness, no aggregate body of experience.
We could take all the pleasures that have ever been and will ever be in all the universes and add them up into one experience. If you were absorbed in nirvana, it wouldn't be noticed.
You are going around on the wheel again and again. You go around and around from lifetime to lifetime. You never quite wake up. Enlightenment is waking up.
Liberation means no rebirth. Now, does that mean you don't reincarnate? Well, you never did reincarnate.
Nirvana is a state of perpetual bliss and ecstasy, unaffected by the transient ups and downs of its own creations.
Somewhere there is an essence. It is not a physical somewhere. There is no sense of world, of time and space. That is nirvana.
At the beginning and the middle and the end of all things, there is only the perfection of enlightenment that is nirvana.
What we discover is it was not the waves or the birds or the wind that were standing out and being separate from existence; it was we who were standing out and being separate from existence.
There is a still center of the universe. Within that still center are all things, all achievements, all loses, everything and nothing exist there.
All the joys in all the worlds of all beings who have ever been or will ever be, will never equal the perfection of one moment of absorption into the stillness of nirvana.
When your mind is flooded with the pure light of nirvana, which is happiness itself, you will be delighted with whatever occurs to you.
Unlike the transient days of our lives that constantly come and go, nirvana has always been, is now, and always will be.
Nirvana and enlightenment exist just on the other side of your sensory perceptions and your thoughts.
Nirvana is not really a physical place, although sometimes I talk about it as if it were. It is not really an experience, although sometimes I mention it as if it was.
There are some beings who reach a point where they no longer want to move through the ten thousand states of mind. There is something else. It is beyond subject and object. That is nirvana.
Beyond all of this is something else, perfection; not just as an ideation, but as a living reality. Even though it may just be an idea for you, hold that idea in your mind.
There are two worlds, the world of desire and the world of enlightenment. The world of enlightenment doesn't go anywhere. It is endless, luminous perfection. The world of desire leads to more desire.
The experience of going to the other side to nirvana clarifies and simplifies your view of all things. You see the world with greater clarity, because it is not obscured by illusions.
The comedies, the tragedies we see played out on this earth before us, don't last. But we are eternal spirits. These events will come and go, but the planes of light and nirvana will always be there.
Something in you wants to go beyond, wants to be free from this endless round of perception. Enlightenment is that.
Outside of nirvana, the planes begin, the subtlest planes of light that vibrate fastest, all the way on down through the astral realms through the physical and so on.
The experience of light in a very pure form always creates happiness. The experience of desire and aversion tends to create unhappiness.
