Flaky devotionalism, bowing and scraping and sucking up to the teacher is very phony. It is counterproductive to enlightenment and spiritual development. What is necessary is mutual respect.
Frederick Lenz
Image
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
Image
Continually reorder the mind and the mental structures, the ability to think in prescribed ways, to analyze in prescribed ways, and to stop thought for periods of time.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Meditate. Look at the candle flame - or whatever object you have chosen to gaze upon - with intensity.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Death doesn't change anything. It just gives you a new location. The physical mind dissolves. But the overriding state of mind that you die in is the state of mind that you are born into.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The essence of Buddhism is simply that the mind is forever. We are always experiencing different states of mind in one form or another, in one body or another, in one life or another, forever.
Frederick Lenz
Image
What these people do here is obviously not working. They sit in their commuter traffic hour after hour. They make the earth a toxic waste dump.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You identify with your self. You have a personal history. You have commitments. There are things that you want to experience and other things that you want to avoid.
Frederick Lenz
Image
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
Image
I think I've learned more from women than anyone else, and perhaps from love - what a wonderful testing ground, what a wonderful place to see and sense our limitations, to know that the pain reflects your state of awareness and not being able to hide from it.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Love is the bridge that joins all the worlds together.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The pathway to enlightenment is beautiful. There are a lot of wonderful things that happen along the way. Win or lose, you just keep going, and it happens eventually.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The message of love is self-acceptance in the smaller sense and self-acceptance in the large sense - the Self as eternity.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We have developed psychic powers in other lives. Now we have many problems because of it, many voices in the mind due to this crowded earth.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You are not a singular self. You are a corporation. Inside you is eternity. A human being is not so simple.
Frederick Lenz
Image
It's just not working. One nation trying to destroy another, one race trying to destroy another, one religion trying to destroy another - It's the same old story over and over again.
Frederick Lenz
Image
A person with power controls their life and their destiny. They have a mastery. Their moments are aware moments in this world, never wasted.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The best thing that you can do to deal with these high speed times is to slow down, inwardly, to take a little more time for meditation, a little more time to enjoy your morning cup of coffee or tea, and to look around at the people in your life with a little more love.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Overcoming fear has nothing to do with abandoning common sense. We retain our common sense, but we lose that emotion that is fear.
Frederick Lenz
Image
People who have power, who think negatively of others and seek to injure them, are practicing a kind of voodoo, a lower sorcery.
