Frederick Lenz
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
You can't throw your ego away, but you can use its innate desire to experience that which is beyond itself to give you the impetus to meditate.
Frederick Lenz
Image
All action is generated by desire. It is the desire to live that causes us to reincarnate.
Frederick Lenz
Image
A person who is enlightened does not have to reincarnate, or they may. If they chose not to, they can go beyond the wheel, and slide into nirvana.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I have a great deal of spiritual dignity. It's on loan from eternity, and you do too, and we have to use it in our relationship with each other.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If you are afraid of someone, you immediately give them an advantage and give them entry to your awareness field.
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
