More quotes by Frederick Lenz
What matters is that they are curious about life, energy, truth, and themselves and that they haven't sold out to the establishment powers that tell us what to think, what to wear, how to behave, what to believe in and what goes beyond the line of rational and irrational thought.
Frederick Lenz
Meditation is not for everybody. When you meditate you become conscious. Most people don't want to be too conscious because they are afraid of awareness, of death, and of being happy.
Frederick Lenz
Once you have personally experienced enlightenment, you will see beyond the ocean of death to the everlasting shores of immortality.
Frederick Lenz
One of the greatest mistakes that people make who pursue self-discovery is they neglect to develop their careers. There is a popular notion that those who seek enlightenment should abandon the things of this world.
Frederick Lenz
Never think too much of yourself. Realize you are only an instrument of eternity. Do not get stuck in that terrible trap. You can lose everything.
Frederick Lenz
Interestingly enough, Aurthur C. Clarke once autographed a copy of his book Rendezvous with Rama for me.

Frederick Lenz

Frederick Lenz
An enlightened person lives in the world, passes through the ten thousand states of mind, but they are not bound by them. They can go beyond perception.
Frederick Lenz
Unfortunately the student often feels guilt for not living the type of life that their Teacher suggested, or they feel that they are intrinsically bad and incapable of leading a higher life.
Frederick Lenz
Beginning meditation is a process of unhooking ourselves from thought, being motivated to meditate. It is very exciting in the beginning because we see the tremendous jumps we make in awareness.
Frederick Lenz
As you meditate, you will discover, pleasantly, that you too can see beyond this life, that you can see your eternality.
Frederick Lenz
Nirvikalpa Samadhi means that you've gone off the board you've gone off the map. There is no way to describe it. You have attained liberation and are no longer bound by the cycle of existence. You just are, and yet you're not, at the same time.
Frederick Lenz
If you have power, you might be able to heal a person. You could actually get inside their cell structures and create a change.
Frederick Lenz
This is still a very primitive age, and I'm afraid they may not get much further here.
Frederick Lenz
If there wasn't a way around the samskaras, no one would ever become enlightened.
Frederick Lenz
The only reason you feel pain is because you're so busy looking at yourself instead of looking at the wonderful patterns of light. If you become absorbed in the wonderful patterns of light, then there's no pain.
