Mysticism - Gaining 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

Rama, Dr. Frederick Lenz:

"Approach each task in your life, no matter how simple or how complex, =
with power.
=20
Personal power is really the issue. It is only through tremendous =
attention to detail that you will be able to gain personal power and =
searing self-honesty.
=20
Happy people, enlightened people, successful people all share something =
in common. They have learned how to manage and increase their energy.
=20
You can simulate perfection, but it's not the same. Some one can do a =
copy of Rembrandt, but it's not a Rembrandt. It doesn't have the =
vibration or the power.
=20
If you want to succeed always associate with winners, people who have =
understood something. You will notice that they all share something in =
common, tremendous attention to detail in their personal lives and =
associations.
=20
Power has destroyed many people - not really. Power doesn't destroy =
anyone. People apply it poorly and it can ruin their lives. Power is =
like fire. Fire is neither good nor bad. It's how you use it.
=20
There are two sides to increasing energy. One is avoiding loss. The =
other is learning how to gain energy.
=20
Meditate on your own and refine your consciousness. Tighten up your =
life. Constantly examine your life and look for weak points. You know =
what's going on in your life.
=20
You can draw power from everything in your life. In order to do that, =
everything has to be set up in a proper way.
=20
Turn your life into a field of power and energy to draw from.
=20
Take your energy - instead of losing it in all the little hassles and =
all the little battles you could have fought with opponents who didn't =
matter.
=20
You must have tremendous power of focus to direct your life and not =
allow all these variant forces, different vibrations, to enter you.
=20
You have got to get your power up and do something and not just sit =
around.
=20
You need to constantly examine your life, inner and outer, to see where =
you are losing and gaining power.
=20
There are two sides to increasing energy. One is avoiding loss. The =
other is learning how to gain energy.
=20
Things that raise your energy usually don't involve humans; things that =
cause energy loss usually involve humans.
=20
Think of your life as a field. The field is the field of action. What a =
mystic does is set up their life as a field of power.
=20
Your life either takes your energy or gives you energy. Set up your life =
so that it gives you energy.
=20
Avoid the things in your life that take away from your stillness. Find =
things that add to that stillness. Bring them more into your life. It =
doesn't matter what works or doesn't. It is all individual.
=20
It is necessary to do a very thorough examination of your life and to =
discover whether the people in your life, no matter how much you love =
them, are using you or abusing you.
=20
Make lists. Write down the things that give you power. Write down the =
things that take your power away also. Make lists of people close to =
you. Are you associations raising you to a higher level of attention?
=20
Take out two pieces of paper. One piece of paper, list all the people =
you know who are adding to your life.=20
=20
Then on the other piece of paper, list all the people you know who are =
taking more than they're adding. Include people from the past.
=20
It is necessary to bring our life in order, to examine each thing, and =
ask ourselves if it is bringing power into our life or if it is draining =
us. Ask yourself, is your life taking power from you or adding power to =
you?
=20
What will increase one person's personal power will not necessarily be =
the same for another.
=20
Energy is gained by giving energy. When we give energy, we gain energy. =
This is different than having someone manipulate you and take your =
energy.
=20
There is an art, a science to gaining power. There is a natural force or =
inclination in all of our beings to accumulate power. The problem that =
we come into is conditioning.
=20
When we experience fear, it cuts us off from our power. It cuts us off =
from knowledge and experience. It is a guillotine that falls and =
separates.
=20
Fears are just conditioning. They don't exist. They are something that =
we are taught by people who are afraid or seek to make us afraid. It is =
time to unload the baggage.
=20
Step one in overcoming fears is to make a fear list. Make a list of all =
the things that you are afraid of.  Start out with the small fears and =
conquer them.
=20
Overcoming fear has nothing to do with abandoning common sense. We =
retain our common sense, but we lose that emotion that is fear.
=20
How to overcome fear? Be around people who are fearless.=20
=20
If you are afraid of other people take a martial arts class. The best =
way to overcome fear is learn to be proficient in martial arts.
=20
Go out and do the things you are afraid to do gradually. Gain the power =
to do that through meditating. You will find yourself limitless reality =
that knows no fear.
=20
Be a perpetual beginner. Always be inspired. It is that attitude of =
inspiration and belief that creates energy.
=20
If you are happier than you have ever been, then your power is =
increasing. But is it a fast a rate of climb as you would like?
=20
You will gain energy by meditating deeply, by speaking the truth, by =
learning to be still and by avoiding the crowd, most of the time, not =
all of the time.
=20
It is really important that you live in a place that has good energy. =
Where you sleep, where you dream, where you meditate, where you spend a =
lot of time is key.
=20
You need to turn your room into a place of power. It's a good idea to =
have flowers around, candles, incense, you know, happy things. Make your =
room into a beautiful place and keep it impeccably clean.
=20
The place that you gain the most power is within your own mind. Stopping =
thought generates power. That is why people meditate. The longer you can =
stop thought, the more power you gain
=20
If you are finding that you can stop thought longer and longer, I would =
say your life is bringing power into your being. You are gaining things =
out from that field behind the house.
=20
You gain power through practicing meditation and concentration. You gain =
power by doing anything you like that makes you feel good. You gain =
power by being happy.
=20
A person who seeks power usually goes into other dimensional planes to =
find it. Then they bring that power back into this world and they use it =
to enhance their life.
=20
Your understanding of the astral dimensions can help you alter =
structures in the physical dimensions.  It is in and through the medium =
of the astral dimensions that all of the siddha powers function and =
work.
=20
Meditation will bring back the powers and awareness from the past; more =
importantly, it will expand your consciousness today.
=20
What you need to learn are basic types of concentration, bringing more =
energy into your life, plugging up the holes where you lose energy, the =
basics of self-discovery.
=20
The way we measure awareness is by how long you can stop thought. If you =
can't stop thought at all, then you are not powerful. You might be quite =
evolved, but you have no access to that evolution.
=20
The unlocking of the kundalini, which occurs by meditating on the first, =
second and third chakras, is the entrance into the planes of power.=20
=20
There can be very powerful releases of energy that can catch you off =
guard until you have a better sense of what you are doing.
=20
I would recommend, initially, if you are trying to increase your =
personal power level, to meditate on the navel center, not the lower =
two.
=20
Power comes from the navel center. If you meditate for an hour or so a =
day and you focus on that sphere, you will release a tremendous power =
that will enter your body. We call it the chi.
=20
Personal power is the reflection of a person of knowledge. A person of =
knowledge, an enlightened person, a person even close to enlightenment, =
has a great deal of personal power.
=20
The reason you study with a teacher is primarily for the empowerments, =
for someone who is enlightened to transfer power to you. What is most =
important is that the student uses that power intelligently and wisely
=20
An enlightened teacher teaches you how to gain power. They give you =
power. They teach you how to shape it so that it becomes an instrument =
of beauty and not an instrument of unhappiness.
=20
A teacher will alter the balance of power by actually lifting a person =
into other states of mind. In those states of mind the teaching will =
take place in non-verbal ways through direct experience.
=20
If the teacher sees that it will cause a person to progress, he will ask =
that person to do a task. The task is charged with power and if it's =
performed properly.=20
=20
A good teacher will show you the ropes in the world of power. They will =
give you the wisdom that is necessary to be able to use power. You just =
don't give a kid a new Ferrari. You teach him how to drive it.
=20
Naturally you need someone who is versed in the ways of power to teach =
you a thing or two about it. When you reach the next power level, they =
will teach you more. It is very much like the study of martial arts.
=20
Enter into the plane of mental development. Start to increase your =
personal power level. Your life will become quite wonderful and very =
happy. You move beyond delusion."
