Tibetan Yoga and the Secret Doctrine
by Dr. Frederick Lenz, RamaInsight
“The soul progresses. It grows spiritually as it moves toward enlightenment. The secret teachings of the oral traditions suggest that it’s possible to take the thousand lifetimes it would have taken to become conscious of consciousness, and to compress it into one lifetime.”
Considerations
“When you’re sitting there in meditation someday and you’re just on the edge of moving into samadhi, that’s when most people lose it, if you get to that point to begin with, because all of your attachments and aversions — this is what The Tibetan Book of the Dead is for — will present themselves to you. And in the Book of the Dead, it explains that when this happens, don’t run away from anything you see, don’t run towards it.”
