Frederick Lenz
Image
A lot of people have this live or die attitude with mediation. It has to be all or nothing. I don't think it should be. It's a study that you follow for the rest of your life.

Image
I don't put much stock in powers that people have to hurt others, in sorcery and all this nonsense. There are murders and there are dictators. That is just a part of life. The intelligent use of power in yoga can assist you avoiding that side of humanity.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The way to win the race is not to trip somebody else. Simply have more energy. You will not only have a greater chance of winning but whether you win or lose, you'll be happy.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I realize that there's a thing called the bodhisattva ideal, and it's a very nice pinnacle of attention. It's a very egotistical thought, ultimately.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If silence only conveys the Self, if all words and thoughts are illusions, why do we discuss it?
Frederick Lenz
Image
Life is an endless experience of God's. God doesn't even exist in nirvana, yet God exists in all other realms.
Frederick Lenz
Image
It's either good, bad or somewhere in between. It's either ying, yang or it's a combination. You're either male, female or somewhere in between. You've got to be somewhere on the map.

Image
Who are these human beings anyway? They walk around, strut, fret, as if they owned the planet, or the goddamned universe. I mean, who do they really think they are?
Frederick Lenz
