Image
An individual has to be tenacious enough to become enlightened.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Spend time alone in areas of low population density, where you can feel the stillness. Go out into the desert or up into the mountains or to the ocean where there aren't too many people.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Just remembering what you did in previous lives doesn't mean a thing. It's nice to remember that you had higher states of mind, but that won't necessarily get you there. It might even make things painful.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There are primarily two ways people can drain your energy. They can get you to want them or what they have or they can get you to fear them. In order to drain you they must get into your attention field.
Frederick Lenz
Image
A person who undertakes the study of Zen and learns concentration and meditation is like a gymnast. You become a gymnast of the mind.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Buddhism suggests there are no elect. Everything rests upon your own self-effort, which is the good news because that means you don't have to wait around for some nebulous God to help you.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If you think that material success will bring you happiness, relationships, people, places, things, fame, fortune, you definitely should not practice tantra.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The scriptures recommend love and service to the enlightened to develop purity.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Just like there are different roads that lead to different places, so there are different levels of awareness that lead to different places and we shift in and out of them. These are the ten thousand states of mind that we study in Zen.
Frederick Lenz
Image
They reach the point where they feel, I can go into samadhi now. I can do everything on my own, and that's exactly where they stay, in the lower samadhis. There are many, many people on this earth who can go into salvakalpa samadhi.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If you meditate with a teacher who is enlightened, you can ride with them into stages of mind that are perhaps not available to you at this time.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I can throw a great party, but I don't know how to go to one. I can throw a party because when you throw a party you just work all the time. But I could never go to a party because I wouldn't know what to do ... I'd immediately find the kitchen and start to serve food.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You can transmit the kundalini physically when people are there, and of course, long distance. It is energy, inter-dimensional energy.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You're an emanation of enlightenment. Enlightenment, which is the universe, has created the hallucination that is you in a form that shifts.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The most noble of all pursuits is to be enlightened, to know truth, to have knowledge and yet be beyond even truth and knowledge, to be God.
Frederick Lenz
Image
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
Image
I observe many people who say they are meditating, but I sure don't see them meditating. They sit and touch a lot of people, places and things psychically, but they sure don't meditate.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Enlightenment doesn't simply mean being in heavenly states of mind. It doesn't mean being a saint.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You don't have to do anything to meditate. That's what makes it so difficult. Everybody wants to do something.

Lakshmi is a celestial being who lives in a higher plane of existence. Her mantra is Sring. When you chant it, it brings beauty and light into your consciousness.
