More quotes by Frederick Lenz
Whenever we just try to please ourselves, all we do is cover up another window in the little house we're stuck in.
Frederick Lenz
Human beings have illusions. The enlightened don't have illusions. They see things as they are, and in that seeing, they see ecstasy and joy. They see the play of life.
Frederick Lenz
Everyone is growing and developing. Everyone has to go through a trial and eror process of finding what is right.
Frederick Lenz
It is one thing to teach a dynamic Oriental philosophy and religious code it is quite another to put such a discipline to the test by successfully living it in the face of ridicule.
Frederick Lenz
When the sun sets, beautiful though it may be, billions of stars appear. The ego is but one sun. When that sun sets, there are endless suns, endless horizons beyond it.
Frederick Lenz

Frederick Lenz
I know some teachers say that you shouldn't display the psychic powers and other powers referred to as the siddhas, but as far as I'm concerned, it doesn't really matter. There are no absolute rights or wrongs in spiritual practice
Frederick Lenz
Phony gurus make themselves objects of adoration and worship. Real spiritual teachers aren't interested in adoration and worship. They like respect only because they realize respect will help the student.
Frederick Lenz
Beyond mind, beyond time, beyond space there is immortal awareness.
Frederick Lenz
Everyone experiences desire. Desire is not bad. There is no good or bad from the point of view of karma. There is only structured reaction.
Frederick Lenz
Faithfulness, faith, all of the words that so few people live, you must live. Only then are you worthy of immortality.
Frederick Lenz
The vast majority of beings who incarnate on this planet are at the stage of their evolution where power is the dominant theme. They are learning about power. That is why we live in a world where there are so many wars and so much destruction.
Frederick Lenz
Self-knowledge, I guess, is hard. But I think pain is harder, personally. I think to be hopeless is very hard. I think to die without hope or to live without hope is very hard.
Frederick Lenz
Don't worry about your future lives, past lives. Button up your shirt! Stand up straight! Go out and do something. Go out and have some fun. Be alive, change, dissolve, explode!
Frederick Lenz
When you read Boethius and some of the Renaissance philosophers, they talk a lot about the other spheres. There's a music of the spheres. There's a music that's actually in the universe, they believed, that's out there in different dimensions.
Frederick Lenz
Each time you meditate, you create a stronger connection with the world of inner light and happiness that exists within you.
Frederick Lenz
I think the very best thing you can do is observe what makes you stronger and what makes you weaker.
Frederick Lenz
It seems to me that there's a terrible misunderstanding between us. It seems to me that I love you a great deal, my friends.
