I don't believe in anything, yet I believe emphatically in almost everything. It all depends on what seems appropriate at the time.

Every moment gives birth to the next moment and influences it. Getting out of that chain of perpetual being is getting off the wheel of birth and death. That is enlightenment.

Image
A lot of people trash their subtle physical body with psychedelic drugs. While they do certainly give you experiences in altered levels of attention, you pay a price for it. They definitely screw up the subtle physical. Hatha Yoga can be good for that.

I am a teacher because teaching allows me to observe the universe at work, that moment when wakefulness suddenly occurs.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If we look further, we see that we actually contain all of existence. Everyone who has ever been or will ever be, is in some way contained in our awareness. Our awareness is like the sky, it's endless.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The ten thousand states of mind that we talk about in Zen are all levels of perception. You can think of each of the ten thousand states of mind as a dimensional plane.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Selfless actions create a higher karma, which brings you into higher states of mind. When you are in higher states of mind you will see things that you never saw before.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Slow down. Enjoy life. It's tough to slow down if your mind is going a million miles a second. It's tough to slow down if you think what these people do here matters.
Frederick Lenz
Image
It is possible to contact higher beings who are not in the body. But the being you really want to contact is you.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Only real love of the infinite will motivate you. While pain motivates, once we feel comfortable and the pain has stopped, we'll stop evolving. Love is a far superior spiritual vehicle.
Frederick Lenz
Image
For men, it's necessary to push aside that marvelous ego that tells you that you are all knowing and capable, and see that you are not.
Frederick Lenz
Image
When you love, you should always watch the quality of your love.
