I don't believe in anything, yet I believe emphatically in almost everything. It all depends on what seems appropriate at the time.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Humility is the conscious awareness and acceptance of eternity as your body.
Frederick Lenz
Image
In this world we see the pairs of opposites. Ultimately there are no oppositions. In the superconscious awareness there is no division.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Inwardly the sun also has an energy field, it has an aura, so does the earth, so does the moon, and so do all the planets. We're affected by those auras. It's not something that you really want to reason out.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There are other times. There are other adventures. There are other dreams .

Illusions are shadows moving endlessly across the ground. The shadows are quite real but they're shadows. They have very little substance.
Frederick Lenz

There's a power that brings us to things, and there's a power that lets us move away from things, from people, places, experiences. And what you learn to do in metaphysics is accept.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Power itself is simply a word to describe attention, awareness, which embodies all things.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I see people driving cars, winding down the streets. I don't know where these people think they're going. They're going to the funeral home that's about it.
Frederick Lenz
Image
People always say, 'A good man is hard to find.' You've never heard that about women, have you?
Frederick Lenz
Image
You become a monk and you practice and the teacher tells you what to do. If you find that you have a resistance to that, and the resistance is strong, it just means you're not interested. Why put yourself through some sort of torture. It means you weren't that interested.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Our actions and experiences will direct us. In other words, we will be guided by the inherent emptiness of the things we choose to interact with.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Reality is not the world as you perceive it. Reality is the world perceived through enlightenment. It's the same world but it's not the same world.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Human beings going to their jobs and living their lives are unconscious. They don't know what's going on. They don't know why you are born or why you die.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Every moment gives birth to the next moment and influences it. Getting out of that chain of perpetual being is getting off the wheel of birth and death. That is enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
Image
That is why we live in a world where there are so many wars and so much destruction. This is an arena of power.
