Frederick Lenz Quotes
The intuitive mind is nonphysical. It is not part of the brain or any other cellular structure in the physical body. It is part of the causal body.
Your experiences in the causal dimensions will give you knowledge of time, space, dimensionality and what lies beyond all these things.
As incarnations go by, the atom gets more complex. That is, your being, the part of you that reincarnates from lifetime to lifetime, the aggregate, grows thicker and denser.
Whatever you have learned in your previous incarnations is retained within your causal body, your multi-lifetime body of energy that lives from one incarnation to another.
While this is good and it stores up knowledge and power, at the same time there's a problem with it because it means that a person becomes more fixed.
The more lives you have, the harder it is to change, yet the stronger you are. It's a kind of funny dichotomy.
When you go into samadhi, either salvikalpa or nirvikalpa, what happens is you erase, you loosen, the aggregates. You simplify them.
The Akashic Records are the impressions from all of our past lives that are available within our causal body.
All the records of your past lives are contained within your own mind, just as the records of your ancestors are contained within your DNA.
In meditation, as you go into the causal dimensions, the planes of light, you will be purified, energized and you will become wise.
When I talk about subtle bodies, causal bodies and things like that, it is a good idea not to take it all completely literally. It cannot be put into words.
A very advanced master can glow so strongly that you see divine in them. You look into them and you see infinity constantly changing, evolving and radiating in new forms.
The self plays among the waves of existence. It surfaces, it comes up for a while, and then it disappears again.
In sanskrit they say: "Tat twam asi" - thou art that. You are God. The bubble of your awareness bursts and you're flooded with immortality.
The wheel goes round and round and round forever. Pleasure, pain, birth and death, lifetime after lifetime, it is endless. All sentient beings experience this, the endless dance of life, the lila.
All of the universes are but phantoms, mirages, and while they have their own essence, their own pantomime - they pass forgotten.
Self-realization is not the awareness that this world is a dream, that's a part of self-realization.
The perceiver of the dream, the one whom the dream is unfolding before, is what we call the Self.
Once you have personally experienced enlightenment, you will see beyond the ocean of death to the everlasting shores of immortality.
The universe is always ecstasy and it's always perfect, but we don't perceive it that well. If we keep doing our yoga in every lifetime, we perceive it more correctly.
The planes of light exist. Yoga is a method of unifying the energies of the body, the mind, and the spirit and directing them towards infinity, the planes of light.
The void is ready to snatch you up like a Pac Man machine and Laskshmi is on vacation. You chant Sring - and you get her answering machine.
Gods and goddesses are not what people think they are. Their names are terms with which we try to convey a certain experience, a state of consciousness.
A war is an incarnation. A battle is a day of your life. So we do one day at a time in self-discovery.
Everybody is in the waiting room of life. Yoga is not a waiting. It is a doing, today.
Sri Krishna refers, of course, to this world as a joyless, transient world. Obviously, he's never been to Disneyland.
Yoga is a science. It is the science of consciousness. Yoga suggests that there is more, other realms, other dimensions, and nirvana - the central nexus where all this comes from.
Yoga makes you free. It makes you happy. It gets you out of the traps that create human misery. It makes you vibrate faster.
The smoke from the fire passes through the building and the soot affixes itself to the walls. The smoke passes through the air and keeps going - liberation.
The awareness of place, space, or condition is not liberation. You can't say what it is, but you can sure say what it isn't.
In order to create heat, you have to have something to burn. So what we do in yoga is, we burn ourselves up to create light.
When the sun sets, beautiful though it may be, billions of stars appear. The ego is but one sun. When that sun sets, there are endless suns, endless horizons beyond it.
Yoga is a removal of the conscious awareness from the world as you know it - the world that you've constructed - through your focus within your mind, to something else.
Trying to use the power of yoga to improve your life, this is a terrible mistake. Because all you are doing is binding yourself more. You're putting more of your attention into the transient world.
Observe your actions but be so busy that you never contemplate their possible effects. It is only this consciousness that leads to liberation. Everything else is illusion.
Self-realization: No ego, no desires, no weight problems, no tax forms, no death to die, no life to live.
Self-realization is a strange term. You don't actually realize your 'self'. If anything, you go away. The caterpillar enters the cocoon of meditation: A butterfly emerges - metamorphosis.
If you are with a fully enlightened being, a jivan mukta, liberated soul, the quality of light is so clear, that you don't really know that it is there until later.
Sri Krishna says whatever role we have in life, we have to play it to the hilt. We have to take it all the way. We have to assume responsibility for our role. To run away from it causes misery.
When all of the selves have been dissolved, you will enter into the super-conscious awareness. Then, you are free. Then, there is no suffering. Then, there is no attachment.
Don't become a slave to success or failure, family, friends, possessions. If these things come to you in life, enjoy them, but fix your consciousness on that which does not change.
Mind delineates experience, and through the filter of mind, experience becomes something else; it becomes knowledge in tantra.
Focus on an object of some type, hopefully an object that's beautiful or powerful. You could find a pretty colored stone that you just feel good about.
You could use a flower, a candle flame, anything you want that's suggestive of beauty and eternality.
Learn how to focus - that creates a lot of power. Focus on a candle flame for 15 minutes or a pretty colored rock, or one point, or a chakra.
