More quotes by Frederick Lenz
Psychic development is not a fanatical, freaky study, predicting the future, talking to UFOs, and being able to find out curious facts that are basically irrelevant to one's time in life.
Frederick Lenz
The teaching of the ten thousand states of mind, particularly as one advances further, is done through transmission. This is where we differ from teaching algebra or calculus.
Frederick Lenz
There is no place to go and no one to be.
Frederick Lenz
We fall into states of illusion - we forget all this. We get caught up in desires, frustrations, political movements, philosophies, religions, the getting of a living, the pain of a body, the pleasure of a body.
Frederick Lenz
There can be very powerful releases of energy that can catch you off guard until you have a better sense of what you are doing.
Frederick Lenz

Frederick Lenz
To meditate with full effort, produces infinity, freedom.
Frederick Lenz
There's this cave and all humanity is in it and there's this terribly bright light at the other end and everybody's afraid of it.
Frederick Lenz
The pageant of life is divided into ying and yang. They're two circles. You can follow either circle and manage to develop enough speed to move beyond this world to other worlds, dimensional realities.
Frederick Lenz
Don't be afraid of losing a little power in daily associations. People who seek power and knowledge aren't misers. They aren't afraid. That is paranoid.
Frederick Lenz
There are seven primary centers, junctions, within the subtle physical body. These are called the seven chakras.
Frederick Lenz
In the Bhagavad-Gita Krishna says: Arjuna you cannot avoid action. Everyone is stuck in the world of action. The world of action is forever.
Frederick Lenz
If there are problems with the subtle physical body, it's very hard for the kundalini to flow.
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.
Frederick Lenz
In poetry, and in my study in graduate school, I was drawn to a particular poet, Theodore Roethke. I did a dissertation on The Evolution of Matter and Spirit in the Poetry of Theodore Roethke for my Ph.D.
Frederick Lenz
Nirvana and enlightenment exist just on the other side of your sensory perceptions and your thoughts.
Frederick Lenz
If you have the sense of participation in sports or athletics, of being a player, then you are not really into the Zen mind. In Zen mind there is no sense of self in the play.
Frederick Lenz
Being on the path means we again meditate with joy. We deal with the suffering of life and the pain of existence without perfect enlightenment with a smile.
Frederick Lenz
We prefer humility in others - and if we prefer it in others - we can soon prefer it in ourselves.
Frederick Lenz
It is harder to develop your occult or psychic body when you are dead because all planes meet in the physical.
