You think you are somebody and that is where the problem begins. You're really not somebody, you're everybody. You objectify yourself into thinking that you are a particular state of being.

More quotes by Frederick Lenz
If you learn to lead your life strategically and strongly, you can overcome the opposition. But running away, you never overcome anything. The pathway to enlightenment is for the warrior, the samurai.
Frederick Lenz
There is suffering and there is joy. Your life is very short, and then you're back again for another and another, forever, unless you step off the wheel.
Frederick Lenz
When you meditate you will be able to get in touch with that part of yourself which knows what it wants, as opposed to the levels and layers of conditioning in your mind.
Frederick Lenz
If you can't hold a person in your mind with a good thought, it is better not to think about them at all.
Frederick Lenz
To assume that wealth or sexuality or the usage of power, any of these things are not void in nature, gives them a reality they don't actually have.
Frederick Lenz
Tantric Buddhism is just a collection of things that work by doing them. And sometimes we add new things. We have electronic music we did not have it in Tibet.
Frederick Lenz
Sometimes people start to meditate and they get a headache. It's because they're trying too hard. You're pulling in too much energy.
Frederick Lenz
To get involved with some ridiculous battle of power with someone else will use up your energy.
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
You have to be courageous in life to allow a lightness to engage your being. It is easy to be a jerk. To be unhappy with all this weird stuff around us just seems to me to be such a waste. That's a jerk.
Frederick Lenz
Sometimes in life, we have to go backward a certain distance in order to go forwards. If we have conflicts within ourselves that we have not resolved, then we will find ourselves living inside of these conflicts, not in the realms of light.
Frederick Lenz
As you study computer science you develop this wonderful mental acumen, particularly with relational databases, systems analysis, and artificial intelligence.
Frederick Lenz
If you can't feel grateful, if you're discouraged or depressed, then think of the fact that things could be a lot worse than they are.
Frederick Lenz
It's not what you do - it's the intensity of your feeling that determines how far you go in the spiritual life.
Frederick Lenz
Selfless giving does not imply superiority. Selfless giving is about love.
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
A perfect life is to observe - to realize that you have no control over the events in your life, that there are no events in your life, that there is no life.
Frederick Lenz
The key to gazing is stopping thought. Gazing is a soft focus you are touching something with your luminosity. If you could but look into the mountains you would see a diffuse glow.
Frederick Lenz
You can make all the changes to the island of the tonal you want, you can take excursions into the nagual, but to push yourself into the reordering process is absolutely foolish.
Frederick Lenz
The whole objective universe is created, ordered, by our perception and by our sense of self.
