Not everyone is your friend. When you are psychic you tend to forget that others don't view life the way you do.
Frederick Lenz
Image
In my travels, I have found two peoples, the Tibetans and the Fijians, who don't seem to have this problem. Their closeness with their environment, their religions, and their relationships with each other and nature make them feel part of everything.

Image
In both Surfing the Himalayas and Snowboarding to Nirvana, I have tried to transmit as best I could the spirit of humor, and the sense of humor of the monks I have encountered.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Have the courage to be selfless in a world were such qualities are not admired. Dare to be differnt. Be crazy!
Frederick Lenz
Image
I'm an observer of life. I like to watch people, and I like to watch cactus. I like to talk to mountains and communicate with my friends in the other spheres and dimensions.

Image
Never think too much of yourself. Realize you are only an instrument of eternity. Do not get stuck in that terrible trap. You can lose everything.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Sexuality, I think, is a little bit different, for me, than it is for most people, in that there's almost no body awareness whatsoever. It's just light, but that's how everything is for me.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Go directly to Nirvana. Don't pass go - or you'll have kids, you'll grow old together, you'll be born into another realm where you'll forget that there was even nirvana.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Most persons spend their lives stuck in relatively low states of mind. In these states of mind their views of themselves and the world around them are often severely limited.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You reincarnate forever because you exist forever. You can't die. You can't be born, your essence that is. You are on a big wheel.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We go to the cinema we see images projected on the screen - but they're not real, they're only images.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I think I've learned more from women than anyone else, and perhaps from love. What a wonderful testing ground.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Learn to be happy in any and all circumstances, whether you're experiencing pleasure or pain, whether there's loss or gain, whether the world loves you or hates you. Learn to be happy.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Just as the DNA is a structure of double helical bonds, so your being is a structure of elements, not physical elements, but awarenesses that have come together in a ring of power.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Everyone is afraid of enlightenment, knowledge, completion. People are afraid of being exposed.
Frederick Lenz
Image
When you are enlightened, your physical body will still feel pain if you get hurt, but you will not be overwhelmed even by extreme physical pain, because your mind is filled with light, love and understanding.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Balance is to choose happiness, to feel that the purpose of life is to love, not necessarily to be loved, to be happy, to be conscious, to be aware, to be fulfilled.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Everyone feels some jealousy, some anger, and some hostility. Don't feel guilty. But to allow them to become dominant expressions of your way of life is off the wall.
Frederick Lenz
Image
By disciplining and training the mind to focus on one thing, we gain control of perception we learn to grab it and put it someplace we want it to be.

Consciousness, like a complex system of software, has thousands of levels of nested, self-accessing subroutines
