Whenever I work with anyone, it is an opportunity for them to become more professional and do something for someone else.

Tantric Buddhists don't believe in sin. Stupidity, yes, meaning we make ourselves or others suffer.
Frederick Lenz
All of the universes are but phantoms, mirages, and while they have their own essence, their own pantomime - they pass forgotten.
Frederick Lenz
Many women devlop the second attention, attract a great deal of sexual attention, and for many years, appear to be very vibrant and strong.
Frederick Lenz
You don't know why, but you know you have to go home. It's an eternal longing. It's Marvell's drop of dew wanting to go back to the sky. We're drawn by a force we don't understand, through worlds, through experience.
Frederick Lenz
At the same time, I went through college, received a Ph.D. and started to teach. I wrote books.
Frederick Lenz
Your reason is your friend. It defends the island of your awareness. But you don't want your reason to rule everything.

I respect self-giving and I've tried to lead my life with that as the ideal. But real self-giving is when we take our being, that which is most precious to us, and we throw it into eternity with a total sense of offering.
Frederick Lenz
If you accentuate yourself, thinking or acting like you are important, then you must want to look good to someone in this world. In order to impress or sway anybody in this world, you have to be in this world yourself.

Old Zen was very funny there was a great deal of humor and happiness. Zen today seems much drier. While there's a certain amount of humor, it seems to lack that total intensity because humor is one of the primary tools for liberation.
Frederick Lenz
The effort to lift one's self into perfect enlightenment is a profound thing. It has nothing to do with individual will. It's a refraction of the cosmos. The cosmos delights in itself.
Frederick Lenz
Humor enables us to deal with and overcome many of the most painful and difficult situations in our lives.
Frederick Lenz
If you go to a place of power, the beings are higher, magnificent beings of light. They are not from our world. They pass through it, the place where dimensions touch, where there are many worlds present.
Frederick Lenz
Enlightenment doesn't simply mean being in heavenly states of mind. It doesn't mean being a saint.
Frederick Lenz
The integrity of the subtle body is totally important. As the subtle body wears, we get sick. That is why, eventually, the body dies - it's because something happens to the subtle body.
Frederick Lenz
You are a stranger in a strange land. As an evolved person living in a relatively unevolved world, you are constantly subjected to a bombardment of seemingly endless negative vibrations emanating from those around you.
Frederick Lenz
Kirshna says its better to be a winner than a loser. It runs counter to what a lot of people whould think, because they have watered down, quasi-religious ideas about that which creates in enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
The way advanced meditation is taught, the way I teach it, the way all enlightened people teach it, is through transference. We transfer light and power to someone else.
Frederick Lenz
The people who imprinted us are not completely happy and they are not completely powerful. So naturally, we have to fight our whole life against that imprinting.
Frederick Lenz
Be fair. Don't present your version of the truth to others. Lose your ulterior motives! Be accurate and pure in your presentation of the way, and you will become the way.
Frederick Lenz
