Mysticism - What is Power? - Quotations by Zen Master Rama, Dr.
Frederick Lenz

"From where the average man stands,
sorcery is nonsense.
And he is right,
not because this is an absolute fact,
but because the average man
lacks the energy to deal with sorcery."

- Don Juan Matus

Mysticism - What is Power?

*******************************************************************

Dr. Frederick Lenz:

"Life is the power to perceive.  Without perception there is no life,
and what is most endemic to perception is power.

Everything is dependent upon energy.  Energy is attention. Attention is
awareness.

Power is the ability to translate, that is, to shift from one level of
attention to another.

The universe is a matrix.  It's a doorway into itself.  But that
doorway remains invisible if you don't have enough energy flowing
through you.

We are power.  But these are only words if you don't have the personal
power to unlock the gates of immortality and of mortality.

Power is everywhere when you can see it and find it.  It is nowhere
when you can't.

Power itself is simply a word to describe attention, awareness, which
embodies all things.

Power is the active force in life.  It is the force that makes
awareness.  The general term for spiritual power is kundalini.
Kundalini is the energy of life that creates awareness

The kundalini is the energy that opens up the bands of perception.  It
is also the power that allows us to travel mentally from one dimension
to another, from one experience to another

The American Indians, the ancient Indians would say, the metaphysical
ones would say: "Power binds us together."  Power, for a while, makes
us what we are, perceivers, luminous perceivers of reality.

Perception is made up of bands.

Power is the thing that holds a band of perception together, and a band
of perception is life for those who perceive in that band.  If the band
of perception were to go away, they would not exist.

Power is the band that we perceive things on. In radio we have
stations.  Frequencies vibrate at certain rates and within those
frequencies we transmit information and receive information.

Power is what is required to change the universe - to change yourself
into what you might like to be.

Does power bring happiness?  Does it bring refinement?  Does it bring
humor?  Does it bring a good-heartedness, or is it just cold?  Power is
never cold.  Cold people may use power in cold ways.

Power doesn't create happiness or unhappiness.  It depends how you use
it.  Wisdom is the guiding force that directs happiness.

Power is the big obstacle, or one of them, that you have to overcome
and learn to deal with effectively before you can reach enlightenment.

Power is very much like the wind.  It comes and goes; no one really
owns it.  People are foolish enough to think they possess power.  You
don't possess power, power possesses you.  Power uses you.

If you have only been around people who use power in cruel and petty
ways, then when you hear the very word, you may have a negative
reaction.

Power is emotionless; yet one with personal power will experience more
emotions.

You can gain power by avoidance.  You can gain power by doing certain
things.  You can gain much more power by meditating.

The vast majority of beings who incarnate on this planet are at the
stage of their evolution where power is the dominant theme.  They are
learning about power.

That is why we live in a world where there are so many wars and so much
destruction.  This is an arena of power.

Most souls are into power on the earth.  Most souls here are developing
their occult body.

Human beings actually have quite a bit of willpower.  They don't know
too much about it, but they have quite a bit.

One aspect of power is to bring our past-life awareness into this
lifetime.  The second aspect of power is to go into new fields of
awareness that we have never experienced.

If you have a boring, insipid, mouse-like life where you're just afraid
to be or do anything, then you don't bring much into your next life.
You don't bring much power.

It is harder to develop your occult or psychic body when you are dead
because all planes meet in the physical.

People are timid.  They don't take chances.  Naturally, they're bound.
They are afraid of the light. They are afraid of their own power.  In
the land of willpower, anything is possible.

A master of will can teach you how to use will.  You watch them and
observe them use that will, guided by wisdom, with a happy balance.

A teacher is really invaluable.  A teacher will instruct you in how to
stabilize your energy field, increase it, and decrease the loss of
energy in your life and how to be balanced, wise, and funny.

A teacher can show you the ways.  But no one can do it for you.  You
have to take what you learn from them and go out and live it.  You have
to fight your battles of power.

Personal power is the ability to go into other planes, to cross that
threshold from one dimension to another.  Why do that?  Because it is
there to do; knowledge, power, and beauty lie in those other worlds.

Mystical powers develop primarily through the raising of the kundalini.
The Kundalini is a type of energy that exists within all things.  It's
possible to pull that energy, to mass it, to transmit it.

Siddha powers are a type of occult power, but occult powers come in
many shapes and forms.  The Siddha powers that you most commonly hear
about are things like levitation, telepathy, and astral projection.

Occult powers, on the other hand, are much wider-ranging.  They involve
the ability to change dimensional structures and the evolutionary path
of sentient beings.

There is this school of thought that says the usage of all mystical and
occult powers is bad.  I find that thought is usually propounded by
people who don't have any powers.  It's kind of a sour grapes attitude.

If you have power, you might be able to heal a person.  You could
actually get inside their cell structures and create a change.

If you're powerful enough you can even determine whom you will meet and
whom you will avoid long before you meet.

What will happen in those encounters?  Who knows?  It wouldn't be much
fun if you knew all of that; you'd be watching an old video called your
life."

Howdy!

The general consensus is that "Power" is one of two things (take your
pick):

Illusion
Dilusion
