There is something beyond power. The totality of one's being. Some call it nirvana. We have a higher destiny. Before you can scratch the surface, you have to bring your life into order.

More quotes by Frederick Lenz
Sexuality, I think, is a little bit different, for me, than it is for most people, in that there's almost no body awareness whatsoever. It's just light, but that's how everything is for me.
Frederick Lenz
In order to effectively interlock with higher spheres of mind and attention, you must have tremendous balance and control. You learn that it is more fun to have control than not to.
Frederick Lenz
Those who pursue a worldy life - who try to get others to do what they want, to peform for them, who use and abuse in the name of their own happiness - are miserable.
Frederick Lenz
Thought is the ultimate tonal. Each thought is like a dike that blocks out the nagual.
Frederick Lenz

Frederick Lenz

Frederick Lenz
In the West, we think of sports and athletics as individual achievement, the thrill of victory, the agony of defeat it all revolves around the ego. This has nothing to do with the Zen of sports and athletics.

There are many paths that lead to enlightenment. There are lesser enlightenments along the way to a larger enlightenment, referred to sometimes as liberation.
Frederick Lenz
In self-giving you must be so careful of egotism. You must be so careful when you are aiding others in their liberation not to have a sense of self.
Frederick Lenz
The reason a person is in a particular state of mind is primarily because of attraction and aversion. Attraction and aversion cause us to format a mental or intellectual program.
Frederick Lenz
When most people see a tree, they don't see a tree at all. They see an idea that they have developed of what a tree is.
Frederick Lenz
Through the study of Zen you can learn to move from lower to higher states of mind at will. Higher states of mind offer you a much more accurate picture of reality.
Frederick Lenz
Don't fight with your thoughts or try to suppress them with your will. This will only frustrate you and bind you to your thoughts even more strongly.
Frederick Lenz
Tantric Zen leads to illumination and fun right here and now, which is why I like it.
Frederick Lenz
Very few people are happy in this world. Most are miserable. Even in their so-called happiness, they are unhappy it is so short of ecstasy, of god-consciousness it's almost pitiful.
Frederick Lenz
Meditation is the art of life. Meditation is not simply a practice. It is an experience, awareness, and a way of perceiving life.
Frederick Lenz
To meditate what you need to do is free yourself from your ideas and your thoughts. All of the higher dimensional planes, the higher realities, the infinite cosmos itself is beyond thought.
Frederick Lenz
I see people driving cars, winding down the streets. I don't know where these people think they're going. They're going to the funeral home that's about it.
Frederick Lenz
Combine meditation with career as a yoga. You will find that your practice will not be any less powerful than a person who lives in a monastery. You might even excel because practice in a monastery can get very one-sided.
Frederick Lenz
Dreams are real. This is unreal. This world is unreal. Everybody has it backwards. This is the dream. This is an insubstantial pageant. Nothing here lasts - that is how you know it's the dream.
Frederick Lenz
