Our very awareness is the window upon which reality presents itself.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Do not be a sniveler. Do not say you can't be happy, you can't be enlightened. How do you know? It is all chaos.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Have lots of plants in your house. Nature and plants understand something about stillness and silence. As you interact with the green world, you will find a peace will enter your life.
Frederick Lenz
Image
For men, it's absolutely essential to stop believing that they're superior to women because that very belief engenders ego, which sets them off-balance. Therefore, they don't realize that they're being manipulated by the second attention of woman because their ego won't permit them.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Only until you rise above the use of the second attention for manipulation that you can enter into a consciousness in which there is enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You only find your Teacher once in many lifetimes. Never be afraid to see them and meditate with them. Your Teacher always understands and always forgives.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Up until now, women have depended completely upon men for their survival. You're dealing with thousands of years of history, where sexual slavery was the condition. While suddenly the laws may change, to some extent, the conditioning doesn't go away that fast.

Image
Your dharma is what kind of work you should be doing, what kind of people you should associate with, whether you should have a teacher or not. Dharma encompasses all things and it is specific to the individual.

Image
Neither is detrimental, but the mystical kundalini is a bit more raucous.
Frederick Lenz
Image
What you have done causes things to happen. Your situation in life now has been caused, is predicated upon, your previous actions. That is karma.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I don't really have a problem with the pain of life. Perhaps that is because I am a martial artist and I am used to dealing with pain. Or perhaps I adjusted to pain because there has been a great deal of it in my life.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The greatest miracle is the miracle of wakefulness, to awaken from the dream of life and to see infinity everywhere, even in the finite, in the simple doings of life.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There are views. And what we see in a view is not necessarily what is in the view, all that is in the view. We have to separate, to some extent, the perceiver from that which is perceived or we have to lose all distinction whatsoever.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The danger to power is obsession - power junkies. You need a very strong mind and humor to balance yourself. If you don't, you will get shredded.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You can draw power from everything in your life. In order to do that, everything has to be set up in a proper way.
Frederick Lenz
Image
A good warrior, a seventh or eighth degree black-belt, will tell you there is no victory. It doesn't make you more powerful to win. It's just what you do. It's an expression of your personal power level.

Image
Sight is not absolutely essential in this process, but we use sight because it is the dominant sense. It's easiest to interrupt the flow of thought in sense perception and move the mind beyond sense perception with sight.

There are dark forces in the world that would have you believe that you can't succeed and that you're a failure and that you're evil and all this nonsense.
Frederick Lenz
Image
All of the universes are but phantoms, mirages, and while they have their own essence, their own pantomime - they pass forgotten.
Frederick Lenz

Our past affects us, our present affects us, and even our future can affect us. We live in the relative world of time and space.
