This is a world that defines everything backwards, a world in which good is called bad, brightness is called darkness, up is called down, enlightenment is called abnormal behavior and abnormal behavior is applauded as reason.

More quotes by Frederick Lenz
How could sexuality be anything but God? It's the creation of life. Life is experiencing itself in endless forms.
Frederick Lenz
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
If you lead a sloppy life, if you indulge in your emotions, if you're always upset, freaked out, stressful, and not happy, you are wasting power and your power level will get very low.
Frederick Lenz
There is wisdom in not letting anyone really know who you are or what you are like. If you define yourself, people hold you in their mind a certain way making it difficult to change.
Frederick Lenz
One or two of my friends set longevity records for people who had AIDS. What they did, incredibly hard though it was, was to practice meditation, positive thinking and they worked out physically quite a bit.
Frederick Lenz
I don't feel that men have been wrong. I don't feel that women are wrong for using their second attention to combat sexual repression. That's just how it's been.
Frederick Lenz
There is an art, a science to gaining power. There is a natural force or inclination in all of our beings to accumulate power. The problem that we come into is conditioning.
Frederick Lenz
The relationship between the student and teacher is ultimately important. In higher spirituality we don't study a subject as much as a person.
Frederick Lenz
When you change your state of mind, your whole life changes, nothing remains the same. Nothing looks the same, because you have changed.
Frederick Lenz
Tragedy brings us closer to ourselves - it's the only thing that does.
Frederick Lenz
If your intent is that athletics and sports are tools or devices to reach higher levels of mind, then your workout sessions become meditation.
Frederick Lenz
By perfecting the practices of zazen and mindfulness, by learning patience and love and by realizing the essential emptiness of all phenomena, you will discover nirvana.
Frederick Lenz
On the pathway that leads to enlightenment, only your heart can tell you what is right.
Frederick Lenz
In advanced practice there is a sense of commitment to the study. It is happy it's never forced. It is a natural evolutionary process of an evolved being.
Frederick Lenz
If you thrive on the city energy it is necessary to leave the city frequently and to walk in parks, to get away from people. You are more sensitive than you realize. Find a spot that makes you happy.
Frederick Lenz
The key to all enlightenment is to have personal experiences in the world of light. All you need to do that is to meditate.
Frederick Lenz
I have yet to see a career that is similar in benefit as computer science for doing the advanced exercises.
Frederick Lenz
The secret teaching was the bodhisattva ideal, to live for others, for the welfare of all beings. That's enlightenment, not some flashy state of luminosity.
Frederick Lenz
If you are a person who wants an uncommonly fine life, if you're willing to put in some time each day to do that, then that will happen to you.
Frederick Lenz
If a spiritual being is naive to the lower aspects of the world, they usually are killed or die young. Did Jesus really know which of the twelve would betray him? I doubt it.
