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
What is there when the ego is gone? Eternity, love.
Frederick Lenz
Image
When your mind drifts away from one of the secret meditation techniques, do not become upset or frustrated. Gently move your mind back to the technique you were practicing and begin again.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The ecstasy and completion of absorption in God is so fantastic that you can't possibly have lost anything because all the things you've always loved and always experienced came forth from there and exist there and are always there.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You've got to make a person aware of how miserable they really are and show them how happy they can be. Otherwise, why should they seek this nebulous goal called self-discovery.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You have to learn to be very, very gentle to start with - with yourself eventually. Meditation is not something that you force. It is something that happens to you because life gives you a gift.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Until your physical togetherness increases, your development in the inner worlds will not increase.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Humility is the most important quality in the spiritual life. When it is lacking spiritual growth stops.
