More quotes by Frederick Lenz
There are different pathways - be it Zen, tantra, karma yoga, or jnana yoga. Different ways have been devised to do the same thing for different types of people according to their temperament.
Frederick Lenz
Sometimes there are people who only meditate with a teacher. They ride the teacher's energy. They don't really learn how to meditate. They learn how to ride the energy.
Frederick Lenz
In meditation the mind stops, thought ceases. When thought stops, the world stops. When the world stops, perception stops. When perception stops, the sense of I as a perceiver falls away.
Frederick Lenz
The male establishment power structure has not really changed its attitude towards women. They did not give these rights to women out of kindness. These rights were fought for by many highly evolved women who cared about the lives of their daughters and granddaughters.

Frederick Lenz

Frederick Lenz
Take a yoga class, study different forms of self-discovery. Some people are crazy and fanatical, avoid them. People who are balanced and calm and introspective, associating with them will raise your energy level.
Frederick Lenz
When self-consciousness stops, there is nothing -nothing left to stop, start, begin or end.
Frederick Lenz
There is suffering and there is joy. Your life is very short, and then you're back again for another and another, forever, unless you step off the wheel.
Frederick Lenz
It is necessary to have a very liberal and simultaneously very conservative mentality to practice Tantric Zen.
Frederick Lenz
Real happiness is something most people never know. What we experience in deep meditation, that ecstasy is beyond what human beings call happiness
Frederick Lenz
Power is the ability to translate, that is, to shift from one level of attention to another.
Frederick Lenz
You don't always have to be the winner, have everybody notice you. It's fun to dance alone sometimes.
Frederick Lenz
How could sexuality be anything but God? It's the creation of life. Life is experiencing itself in endless forms.
Frederick Lenz
Nonphysical beings are drawn to enlightened beings. Some come to aid them in there work some come to interfere. Some just come to watch. Enlightenment is rare in this world.
Frederick Lenz
