There is a whole crazy world around you. You can't control it, so don't even try. Because the more you try to control your environment, the more it controls you.

Image
We are inspired by the God that we see in others and suddenly we find ourselves changing. We find ourselves giving more. We find that our lives become rather amazingly beautiful.
Frederick Lenz
Image
When the mind is not only silent, but that part of the mind that could become conscious that the mind is silent dissolves in light, then we see and feel purity. We become it, the purity of the eternal light.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We have the possibility of being far removed from what we are, of beginning to taste it and feel it. That is direct knowledge. That is truth. Anything else is mere words.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Overcoming fear has nothing to do with abandoning common sense. We retain our common sense, but we lose that emotion that is fear.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Some people meditate because they want to get the larger picture on life. It could get kind of discouraging if this was all there was.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There are lifetimes where one goes off into the Himalayas and meditate in a cave. But this is not really one of those lifetimes for most people. Our earth has changed.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I think that was E.T.'s central appeal, personally. E.T. is this metaphorical journey, this strange Odysseus from another world, who just wants to go home. Obviously, home must've been better!
Frederick Lenz
Image
If you wake up for a moment and look around at life, you will observe that nothing here lasts, nothing works out. There are no happy endings. All accomplishments are washed away by death or by the next moment.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Take chaotic mathematics, for instance. The universe is chaos. But chaos is whimping out. There is no chaos. There are just different levels of order in the universe.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Winning begins at home. It begins with your thoughts and your actions.
Frederick Lenz
Image
All physical and nonphysical things have another side, a side that is not visible to the senses or accessible to the reasoning mind, a side that can only be known and experienced intuitively by emptying one's own mind of thoughts.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Everything depends on your state of awareness. If your state of awareness is low, then all the material success in the world won't help.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The most powerful force to maintaining a good immune system is the power of positive thinking and not allowing yourself to be unnecessarily drained emotionally by worries and fears.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Everyone is psychic. People just don't know that. They think so much. They worry so much. They're so caught up in unhappy emotions. They're not still enough.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Step into the mystery of the mind. There are billions of minds, there are billions of selves. There are billions of worlds and dimensions.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The samskaras that were developed in previous incarnations are usually hidden by the temporary amnesia of infancy and by the transient personality.
Frederick Lenz
Image
No one sees life like you do, because you are no one. You change constantly, like the light outside the window.
Frederick Lenz
Image
As the years progressed, my spiritual evolution seemed to increase in speed. I stepped outside this world, the selves reordered. The combination, the aggregate of beings that I was, dissolved in the white light of eternity.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Life is composed of lines of light, fibers of energy, pulsing, still, pure being.
