Love is something that we don't control. We have to be ourselves. You can be sexual, nonsexual, asexual, bisexual, or trisexual and it really doesn't have a lot to do with enlightenment.

Focusing on an enlightened teacher is a doorway. It is not a person. We are focusing on the light that passes through them. We are moving through them into the planes of light and eventually to nirvana.

In martial arts one of the first things that you learn is to be balanced. Balance is the central principle in architecture and design. Balance is a way of trying to talk about being at the center of things.

Image
Zen is a study. It's a discipline. It involves the active use of will to make things happen or not happen. These are the secrets of power.

What goes on in this one little lifetime is not so important as you might like to think it is because you're in it. When you can see the larger picture, it's just a tiny breath in a succession of breaths.

Perception not only defines existence but it creates existence. It gives it form. Without perception there is no existence.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Selfless giving is a choice. The primary choice we make is not what to give, how to give, where to give. What we are trying to do is become perfect givers.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Things are not necessarily logical. Logic is a secondary source reference. Everything is what it is. We have decided to apply rationale to things. It makes us feel better.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The sights of infinity can be too strong. They can scorch the soul. It's best to take infinity on a little at a time.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The limitations that we can see of the sexual description of reality are very apparent. Very few men attain enlightenment, even fewer women.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Any individual is capable of realizing the truth at any time. No tradition is necessary, no chain, no lineage. Once you have realized the truth, once you have become consciousness itself, then you go beyond all such distinctions.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Be fair. Don't present your version of the truth to others. Lose your ulterior motives! Be accurate and pure in your presentation of the way, and you will become the way.
Frederick Lenz
Image
It is not special to be enlightened, just different. An enlightened person is someone who has dedicated not just this lifetime but thousands of lifetimes to becoming awareness.
Frederick Lenz
Image
When you deal with people, it tends to drag your energy down - if those people are in a lower auric state than you. If you meditate and they don't, then by the end of the day you tend to be more drained.
Frederick Lenz
Image
It is necessary to go through all the daily tasks and bring perfection to them, to learn to be perfect in your meditation, and to win in all your endeavors so that one day you will complete again.

Once you have mastered the ten thousand states of mind, it's paranirvana, the absorption into the stillness forever.
