Frederick Lenz
Image
It's not going to be easy. It's the earth. What creates power in your life is when you perfect your mind, your career, and your associations with others.
Frederick Lenz

Enlightenment is not about being political. It is not a social club. Ashrams often turn into that, I know. Societies of enlightenment often just become cliques.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If you follow anything far enough in the universe, it will eventually lead to light.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Every moment gives birth to the next moment and influences it. Getting out of that chain of perpetual being is getting off the wheel of birth and death. That is enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If you are afraid of someone, you immediately give them an advantage and give them entry to your awareness field.
