Yoga means we go a step further back. In yoga we go to the cause. The cause of pain is not the world. The cause of pain is us (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
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 (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
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 (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
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 (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
Illumination in the outer world is to be happy no matter what is going on. In the inner world, it’s more ineffable. It’s harder to express (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
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 (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
The cool thing about the universe is that it can format itself into tiny little manifestations that are not entirely aware of all aspects of life (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
Psychic development is a necessary skill in leading a successful and happy life. Your intellectual processes and your senses don’t give you enough information to distinguish the real from the unreal (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
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 (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
Mind delineates experience, and through the filter of mind, experience becomes something else; it becomes knowledge in tantra (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
Sit down, keep your back straight, relax and have an object on which to concentrate; you might use a candle flame, a brightly colored rock, a yantra, which is a geometrical designed specifically for the practice of concentration (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
Yantras are specific designs that have a great deal of power in them, as do mantras, which are words of power. Yantras are designs of power that tap into other levels of attention. They remind us of things in other worlds (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
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 (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
You could use a flower, a candle flame, anything you want that’s suggestive of beauty and eternality (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
Place an object within your view, hopefully at about eye level. You might have to look down a little bit. Some people have a meditation table on which they put an object of concentration on (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
Sit in front of an object of concentration with the eyes open. Focus on a candle flame, or a yantra, a little dot, something small. Just look at it. Focus on it until there is nothing else in your mind. This develops willpower (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
Focus on one point and hold your attention there. The mind will waiver, you’ll think a million thoughts, but each time you do, bring your mind back to the point of concentration, seeing it visually (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
Sight is not absolutely essential in this process, but we use sight because it is the dominant sense. It’s easiest to interrupt the flow of thought in sense perception and move the mind beyond sense perception with sight (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
Put on the music, and listen. Zazen means to sit, to listen. You’re listening to enlightenment, to the universes, to the planes of mind (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
If you keep focusing, gradually thoughts will become quieter and quieter, gradually the images will disappear from the mind. What is happening is the kundalini energy begins to radiate and rise, it causes the mind to be quiet (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
When we mediate, we are raising the kundalini through focus, through concentration. There is a metaphysical astral process that’s taking place (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
The key to gazing is stopping thought. Gazing is a soft focus; you are touching something with your luminosity. If you could but look into the mountains you would see a diffuse glow (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
Whatever you focus on, you become. That is the key line, you know. Meditation is the bow and concentration is the arrow (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
In pranayama you don’t worry about taking breaths, you focus on exhalation. If you exhale properly you will inhale. The more deeply you exhale the more deeply you will inhale (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
It takes a number of years to learn to hold the mind perfectly in one place. But each day we do it a little better, and in the doing we’re releasing energy that is taking our mind in higher diffuse planes of attention (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
By disciplining and training the mind to focus on one thing, we gain control of perception; we learn to grab it and put it someplace we want it to be (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
When you start your meditation, picture a beautiful blue sky without any clouds in it. Feel that your body is growing lighter. Visualize that you are floating in the sky and that all tension, fatigue, worry and problems have left you (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
After several minutes, picture that your entire body is merging with the blue sky. Feel that you have become the infinite blue sky that stretches endlessly in every direction (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
The mind must be made calm and still. Then it is aimed at the sky, at the brightness, at that infinitude of being that stretches out endlessly in every direction forever (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
We want to know what our self is. We are the sky. Our thoughts are the birds that come and go. You can enjoy the birds and their beauty, but it is the sky that lasts (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
