A categorization implies a hierarchical way of seeing things. Life is really relational, not hierarchical. Hierarchical is a human way of looking at things. Relational is much more the way things are. Everything is connected.
Frederick Lenz
People don't necessarily take power from you for themselves. It just means they are operating at a lower attention level and you got pulled down by it. You are not sufficiently strong enough to be with someone and be unaffected.
Frederick Lenz

Frederick Lenz
To think you can just go out and help people and somehow get a better life is not reincarnation as I know it. A better life comes from being happy and inner realizations. Now if helping others adds to that, well then, it's great.
Frederick Lenz
Meditation is the short path to happiness. Meditation takes you beyond the desire-aversion operating system that offers very limited happiness and a great deal of frustration.
Frederick Lenz
Opportunities, creative ideas or the lack of them, happiness, frustration, brilliance, talent, success and failure - all are determined by the state of mind that you're in.
Frederick Lenz
We see that love manifested normally in the soldier, in the parent, in the lover, and in the spiritual teacher.
Frederick Lenz
The sensual world cannot be avoided. We're in it at every moment. We are part of it.
Frederick Lenz
It is my belief that one of the most exciting things about the World Wide Web is that they allow minds, as Spock might say, to meld. The transfer of consciousness through a variety of mediums is nothing new.
Frederick Lenz
Meditation is wondering. It is both wondering and wonder.
