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.
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.
Happy people, enlightened people, successful people all share something
in common. They have learned how to manage and increase their energy.
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.
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.
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.
There are two sides to increasing energy. One is avoiding loss. The
other is learning how to gain energy.
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.
You can draw power from everything in your life. In order to do that,
everything has to be set up in a proper way.
Turn your life into a field of power and energy to draw from.
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.
You must have tremendous power of focus to direct your life and not
allow all these variant forces, different vibrations, to enter you.
You have got to get your power up and do something and not just sit
around.
You need to constantly examine your life, inner and outer, to see where
you are losing and gaining power.
There are two sides to increasing energy. One is avoiding loss. The
other is learning how to gain energy.
Things that raise your energy usually don't involve humans; things that
cause energy loss usually involve humans.
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.
Your life either takes your energy or gives you energy. Set up your
life so that it gives you energy.
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.
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.
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?
Take out two pieces of paper. One piece of paper, list all the people
you know who are adding to your life.
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.
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?
What will increase one person's personal power will not necessarily be
the same for another.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Overcoming fear has nothing to do with abandoning common sense. We
retain our common sense, but we lose that emotion that is fear.
How to overcome fear? Be around people who are fearless.
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.
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.
Be a perpetual beginner. Always be inspired. It is that attitude of
inspiration and belief that creates energy.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Meditation will bring back the powers and awareness from the past; more
importantly, it will expand your consciousness today.
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.
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.
The unlocking of the kundalini, which occurs by meditating on the
first, second and third chakras, is the entrance into the planes of
power.
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.
I would recommend, initially, if you are trying to increase your
personal power level, to meditate on the navel center, not the lower
two.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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."
