More quotes by Frederick Lenz
I was very fortunate, and have always been, that the women I met and fell in love with were exceptional, from my first girlfriend to the woman I married when I was 21, to all the remarkable women I have known as either friends or lovers.
Frederick Lenz
The siddhas are developed through the tonal, not the nagual.
Frederick Lenz
You can take the kundalini from the crown center and bring it down. You can bring it up or you can stabilize them both. When you stop breathing in meditation, the kundalini is stabilized.
Frederick Lenz
To simply see a teacher to gain power is a mistake. You'll gain the power, but with the current mindset that you have you'll probably create more unhappiness for yourself than happiness.
Frederick Lenz
You can go to India and you can see gurus go into samadhi. But when they come out of samadhi, they're nasty. They're egocentric. They don't have a deep regard or understanding of what life is. It's just a little trick they can do, a one-trick pony.
Frederick Lenz
The most important problem for our world to solve is the inequality of men and women.
Frederick Lenz
In the West when you talk about yin and yang, people normally think of yin and yang as something that's linear. But in the east we tend to think of yin and yang as circles. They're two circles that actually can lie on top of each other, yet they remain separate.
Frederick Lenz
Software is a reflection of our own mind. And as our software improves it will not only take on the patterns of our minds more closely, but it will also pick up the energy of our minds in other words, I think that software is alive.
Frederick Lenz
Energy is food. Most people on earth feed on each other's energy, all of the time, seven days a week. The more energy you have, the more interested parties there will be in having lunch.
Frederick Lenz
Enlightenment requires discipline, balance, knowledge, power, happiness and a sense of responsibility and sacrifice, being able to do things with your life that you would not have done otherwise.
Frederick Lenz
You will have to put aside some things in your life, habits, ideas, ways of seeing life. You will have to learn new things, and then new things and then new things - forever.
Frederick Lenz
If there wasn't a way around the samskaras, no one would ever become enlightened.
Frederick Lenz
You must control your anger and jealousy and possessive nature or, as you become more powerful and your will increases in strength, you will injure others.
Frederick Lenz
Words are a human way of trying to describe things. But they're much more of interference than they are a help in the world of enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
Sex is life: The act of creation in pleasure, the loss of oneself in another, the coming together of opposites in a temporary union of yin and yang, that creates something other than either. What is life if not this?
Frederick Lenz
Sometimes it is hard to see in life. If the fog rolls in we can't see anything. Most people get caught up in life that they forget the purpose of life is to be happy.
Frederick Lenz
Once you have mastered the ten thousand states of mind, it's paranirvana, the absorption into the stillness forever.
Frederick Lenz
Everyone is part of you.
Frederick Lenz
As Buddhists, our only task is to keep our room clean.
Frederick Lenz
From my point of view, which is the point of view of no illusions, there is only winning and losing. You might as well be a winner.
Frederick Lenz
