More quotes by Frederick Lenz
To perfect your nature doesn't mean to have some idea of what a perfect person is and to simply be that. That doesn't work.
Frederick Lenz
A person who has power doesn't seek to challenge others, their battles are within.
Frederick Lenz
They say Casanova made love to over 10,000 women. Do you think it changed him? It probably aged him a little bit. But I doubt that it changed him. If it had changed him, he would have stopped somewhere along the line and done something a little different.
Frederick Lenz
If your parents were strong in one way and weak in another, you will be strong in the same way and weak in the same way. Even though you detest the weakness in them, you will find that you will do exactly the same things because they imprinted you.
Frederick Lenz
All those moments spent in concetration will give you a terrific strength and with that strength you will cut aside all illusions.
Frederick Lenz
One day you will arrive at a station on the train of existence that you've always known has been there. You'll find there will be no train in sight, with no sense of arrival. There is only a perpetual arrival, a timeless condition of infinite awareness.
Frederick Lenz
Phony gurus make themselves objects of adoration and worship. Real spiritual teachers aren't interested in adoration and worship. They like respect only because they realize respect will help the student.
Frederick Lenz
Intelligent martial arts is not getting in battles and winning them. Intelligent martial arts is avoiding battles because battles use up energy, and you can get hurt no matter who you are.
Frederick Lenz
When your home is perfect, every plant in place, every piece of furniture suits the space completely - you've completed a task.
Frederick Lenz
Whenever we just try to please ourselves, all we do is cover up another window in the little house we're stuck in.
Frederick Lenz
This is simple meditation, nothingness and everythingness, the color and the form, death and the void, the end and the beginning, a beginningless end with an endless beginning, Pretty clever if you ask me.
Frederick Lenz
It's considered very, very bad karma, if I can cut to the chase, to take power from a teacher and not use it for something very positive.
Frederick Lenz
Nirvikalpa Samadhi means you are sitting in meditation and you go beyond the planes of light to nirvana. Then you come back and here you are back in the saddle again.
Frederick Lenz
If a spiritual being is naive to the lower aspects of the world, they usually are killed or die young. Did Jesus really know which of the twelve would betray him? I doubt it.
Frederick Lenz
When you eneter into samadhi and seek to make that magical walk between salvikalpa and nirvikalpa samadhi, it's necessary to focus your awareness not on being or nonbeing.
Frederick Lenz
Nirvana is a word that means enlightenment, being beyond the illusion of birth and death, the illusion of pain, the illusion of love, the illusion of time and life.
Frederick Lenz
If you allow people, places and things, to pass through your mind during meditation, you will pull in all those other auras and you be much more confused and dissociated than you were prior to your meditation experience.
Frederick Lenz
Keep your sense of humor. Stay funny.
Frederick Lenz
You become a monk and you practice and the teacher tells you what to do. If you find that you have a resistance to that, and the resistance is strong, it just means you're not interested. Why put yourself through some sort of torture. It means you weren't that interested.
Frederick Lenz
Personal power is the reflection of a person of knowledge. A person of knowledge, an enlightened person, a person even close to enlightenment, has a great deal of personal power.
