The full title of the book is Insights. When available, the subtitle is Talks on the Nature of Existence, which gives extra context about the theme, focus, or main idea behind the book. According to the available description, In 1983, when Rama – Dr. Frederick P. Lenz recorded a series of profound and powerful talks entitled Insights: Talks on the Nature of Existence. This book is a transcript of those talks. Rama was instructing an ever-growing number of students. Dr. Lenz himself was developing an approach to self-realization that, while emphasizing meditation and enlightenment, drew from a variety of traditions including Vedanta, Tibetan Buddhism and the American mystic teachings described by Carlos Castaneda. The Insights talks, which evolved from this time period, are like a crest jewel of Dr. Lenz’s body of teachings. It is interesting to note that most of the Insights talks are subtitled “Modular Mysticism” (for example, “Modular Mysticism: The Truth”). Even the talk titled “How to Make Friends with God” – discussed in depth only in this series – is termed a part of “Modular Mysticism.” In the practice of mysticism, Dr. Lenz explains, the student begins to understand awareness and power. Modular mysticism becomes the science of power, and the student learns to gain power, to stop losing power, to store power, and eventually to give power to others. In order to gain power, the student begins to lead an efficient and well-structured life. As the student accomplishes this, they are able to move more easily through the doorways to enlightenment. At each step along the journey of the Insights talks, Dr. Lenz gives specific examples of how to adapt and integrate mystical Buddhist practice into a Western lifestyle. For Dr. Lenz there was no contradiction between being a successful Westerner and a successful Buddhist, be it building a career, working out at the health club, going to the movies, shopping for clothes — or understanding why more women don’t attain enlightenment (when, in fact, it’s easier for them to do so). In every instance, Dr. Lenz connects the heights of the mystical experiences directly to our everyday lives.
