Frederick Lenz
Yes, there are siddha powers. Yes, you can heal people, transform attention. You can flood the sky with light at night so you can't even see the stars. But the greatest miracle is the spirit - it is light
Frederick Lenz
You have to refine your being. You have to go through all of the stages and steps of erasing yourself through service to others with purity, humility, integrity.

Frederick Lenz
Christianity is a marketable product. It has very little to do with Jesus Christ. I'm sure it has nothing to do with Jesus Christ at all - what the experience was like to be around the guy.
Frederick Lenz
What is male and female? Is it just a physical condition? No. The energy runs very, very differently in a woman than in a man.
