Frederick Lenz
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

Frederick Lenz
Never expect anything from a particular meditation. Once you have gotten started, different methods get you into the stream, let the meditation take you wherever it would like to.
Frederick Lenz
The abuse of power manifests with phony spiritual teachers and phony gurus who tell you how to run your life and what to wear and what to eat, all that sort of stuff. They abuse. People don't realize that, listen to them and ruin their lives.
Frederick Lenz
If there's no one in your life to love right now, love yourself. A large part of the path of love is learning to love yourself.
Frederick Lenz
Meditation is existence. When we meditate, all we are simply doing is letting go and allowing ourselves to dissolve back into that which we really are. We are merging with life and light.
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
We have to leave everything we have been, a perceiver, I as an individual. That is enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
When there's nothing but humility, there's nothing but spiritual oneness.
Frederick Lenz
With the happiness, ecstasy and power you gain from meditation, you can gradually remove your mind from the things it has become hooked to that cause it pain.
Frederick Lenz
In one particular chapter in Ulysses, James Joyce imitates every major writing style that's been used by English and American writers over the last 700 years - starting with Beowulf and Chaucer and working his way up through the Renaissance, the Victorian era and on into the 20th century.
Frederick Lenz
There are billions of people on earth. They are all transmitting thoughts and impressions, most of which are not directed towards enlightenment. If you are not focused, you will pick up these energies.
Frederick Lenz
Reason is a terrible trap because you will be satisfied with answers. And if you are satisfied with answers, you'll never come to know what life really is.
Frederick Lenz
