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.
Frederick Lenz
Image
When I dive, I dive into a different dimensional plane. I am not in this world anymore. Someone might see the body, but the spirit has left. It has gone everywhere or nowhere.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Yoga is a removal of the conscious awareness from the world as you know it - the world that you've constructed - through your focus within your mind, to something else.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Chaos is everywhere and chaos is wonderful. That's all there really is. There is no today. There is no tomorrow. There is only eternity, perfection, consciousness, power, and light.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Good and bad karma are just ways of evaluating causal experience. What you do affects your attention field.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Only until you rise above the use of the second attention for manipulation that you can enter into a consciousness in which there is enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
Image
People want power but not wisdom. Power without wisdom is a very dangerous thing. Better to have wisdom first.
Frederick Lenz
Image
No one sees life like you do, because you are no one. You change constantly, like the light outside the window.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Start to give more thought to the world around you. Stop exposing yourself to situations that drain your energy. You will discover through a trial and error process that you will have more energy.
Frederick Lenz
Image
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.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Zen is about breaking out of your ideas and experiencing life and not ideas.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The abuse of power manifests with phony spiritual teachers and phony gurus who tell you how to run your life and what to wear and what to eat, all that sort of stuff. They abuse. People don't realize that, listen to them and ruin their lives.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Then there are most of my students who don't know a whole lot about love. You don't know what fun love is. I will remain inaccessible to you until you learn how to love.
Frederick Lenz
Image
When you meditate you can stand back from your desire. When you silence the mind and there is stillness, only then can you tell if a desire is dharma.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The Buddhist mind is more complicated than the Christian mind. It comes up with endless heavens, endless hells, endless earths, and then we have something lower than hell. We have endless sub-realms that make hell look like Club Med and we have endless nirvana.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There's a sense of productivity which cripples us terribly. We either have to be doing something worthwile or not. We are back to our little binary male-female code.
Frederick Lenz
Image
What is perfection anyway in the physical? It is an idea we have. When it doesn't happen we get all bent out of shape and frustrated and angry and then unhappy, we take it out on everybody.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If this is the only life, then everything assumes too great an importance. We have to get everything out of life and we overdo it.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If even one woman in the West were to become enlightened, it would change karmas on this planet.

Self-realization is a strange term. You don't actually realize your 'self'. If anything, you go away. The caterpillar enters the cocoon of meditation: A butterfly emerges - metamorphosis.
