More quotes by Frederick Lenz
You need a job. You need a career. You need a focus. Otherwise, you will just pick up lots of strange psychic energy because you are not focused.
Frederick Lenz
Put the mind in alignment with the ten thousand radiances of enlightenment and experience them in various gradations forever. That's the total purpose of a monk.
Frederick Lenz
It is much easier for a woman to meditate than it is for men, innately. Their subtle physical bodies pick up the kundalini much more quickly.
Frederick Lenz
Love is the only antidote for the insanity of this world. And the funny thing about love is that when someone loves you, it doesn't necessarily make you feel better but when you love someone else, it does.
Frederick Lenz
They had the same fears that you have, the same aggressive tendencies and the same attachments, but they were freed in time because they believed.
Frederick Lenz
People seem to get caught up in jargon like they get caught up in ashrams and power structures and they never become free. They become masters of jargon and power structures.
Frederick Lenz
You human beings think that yoga is in some way going to make everything you want to happen, work out. You are going to be able to avoid what you don't want. That is not yoga. That is desire and aversion.
Frederick Lenz
You are a part of everything. You are like the guys in the bar and that gal on the corner with the red dress. We are a little bit of everyone. Let's not get too fancy here.
Frederick Lenz
Human beings go to church. The guy in the front dressed in black is the guy you defer to. He is in charge of the mysteries of universe, which ordinary human beings don't seem to have the inclination to understand.
Frederick Lenz
When matter stops, self-consciousness stops.
Frederick Lenz
When you become angry at someone, your anger will actually have a power. You can hit somebody in a non-physical way and it can injure that being.
Frederick Lenz
We feel crowded by other people we feel crowded by social rules we feel crowded by ourselves, mainly.
Frederick Lenz
Selfless giving is like putting on make-up. We're covering up a part of ourselves thats not very aware. The thing is when we take the make up off, the selflish part leaves us. We are freeer, clearer.
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.
Frederick Lenz
Balance is the most important of all qualities. We don't want a little bit of rapid growth and then to stagnate. We want continual growth, continual development, which implies balance, always.
Frederick Lenz
Qualityless simply means there is no way to discuss it. There is no way to pin it down. It could be anything at any given moment since infinity is not bound even by itself, nor the words that human beings choose to try and talk around it.
Frederick Lenz
The yoga of discrimination is only practiced once you have started to go into Samadhi.
Frederick Lenz
Physical perfection, working out, adds to your spiritual perfection if that is your intent.
Frederick Lenz
Most people think that an enlightened Buddhist Teacher is a fireman His job is to put the fire out so that you can live in your home safely. But seeker beware! A fully enlightened Buddhist teacher is an arsonist! His job is to set your spirit on fire...by feeding the flames of your soul with love.
Frederick Lenz
As you go into light for longer and longer periods, as you progress in your meditation practice, you transform, you become illumined, you overcome all limitation, all sorrow, and all pain. You learn not to be bound by desire, and eventually you transcend death itself.
Frederick Lenz
