Eventually you're supposed to get so confounded by this whole thing that you just give up completely, and that's when it starts to work. Not give up the practice, but give up trying to figure it out.

More quotes by Frederick Lenz
Lao Tsu always points a finger directly to us. He says we must begin with ourselves. It's impossible to bring order into the world unless we bring order into ourselves.
Frederick Lenz
From my point of view, which is the point of view of no illusions, there is only winning and losing. You might as well be a winner.
Frederick Lenz
Focus on the center of the chest, relax. Imagine a rose there. Feel it unfolding. Let yourself go and ignore your thoughts.
Frederick Lenz
Things are not necessarily logical. Logic is a secondary source reference. Everything is what it is. We have decided to apply rationale to things. It makes us feel better.
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
Often, in the student's confusion, she or he directs anger at the teacher, blaming them for the pain they are experiencing, or for their own mistakes.
Frederick Lenz
The aura of billions of people coats all experiences like a thick cloud of smog. Just to live on the earth is to live in that smog.
Frederick Lenz
You must realize you are not the doer, that you are not the action.
Frederick Lenz
Time holds the final claim check for everything we gain or attain in this lifetime. All of our possessions, along with the people we love, are only loaned to us for a very short time by eternity.
Frederick Lenz
If we give purely, it opens up a doorway in our heart and it gives us the vision to see that those we give to are God.
Frederick Lenz
If we are in a high enough state of consciousness we see that life is only a passing dream.
Frederick Lenz
We must constantly remind ourselves that we are eternity, infinite, beyond birth and death.
Frederick Lenz
A teacher is not someone you need perpetually. You need them to show you how to get through the doorway but once you get through the doorway, you are on your own.
Frederick Lenz
The universe is endless. Enlightenment is endless. You have only touched the outer periphery of the endless still center of perfect being.
Frederick Lenz
The road for Arjuna is unexpected. Sri Krishna says you have to face that which you fear the most that which you're most attached to and eliminate it. In this case he has to fight a battle, and the battle is his attachments.
Frederick Lenz
It is called enlightenment, nirvana, God, truth, call it what you will. There is no activity other than the eternal activities of the universe, perfect being, the awareness of all suchness, knowledge.
Frederick Lenz
Most people are completely oblivious to eternity. They look at the sky at night and they think that's eternity it is just the senses having contact in the sense world. There are other dimensions.
Frederick Lenz
Human beings fear light and knowledge and power. There is a weird quirky sort of thing that happens with people. When you log on to the truth and you start to become it, it threatens them because they live with countless falsehoods.
Frederick Lenz
Life has no meaning. It doesn't need a meaning. A meaning is an arbitrary thought formulation that we affix to it because we are in the mood. Life is its own raison d'etre.
Frederick Lenz
There are those who will seek to block you. There are also non-physical forces. To win in the world of enlightenment, it is necessary to be able to will away these forces, to see they're insubstantial.
Frederick Lenz
