More quotes by Frederick Lenz
Since infinity is by its very nature infinite, then enlightenment by its very nature is infinite, and thus can be experienced in infinite ways, by itself or without itself
Frederick Lenz
A mantra is a very powerful word. It vibrates like music does, only not on this plane but on other planes of reality. It creates a powerful force. It starts the kundalini moving.
Frederick Lenz
I had been pretty well made a prisoner by school, by society. I had been given this description of the world that I couldn't accept.
Frederick Lenz

Frederick Lenz
Very often, in order to bring about stillness we have to be tirelessly active in the outer world. You might suppose this would agitate the mind. It will not, if it is the dharma.
Frederick Lenz
No one on this earth attains enlightenment anymore without an enlightened master as a guide, unless that person was enlightened in many previous incarnations.
Frederick Lenz
Just like there are different roads that lead to different places, so there are different levels of awareness that lead to different places and we shift in and out of them. These are the ten thousand states of mind that we study in Zen.
Frederick Lenz
Everything is subtle. Everything has a million sides. Everything is a manifestation of god. Everything is light. All beings are infinite. All things are perfect, in their own way.
Frederick Lenz
In the dead world of the Western mind all that is seen are shades of gray. There's a cloud over every experience. There's no possibility of divine incarnation, divine intervention, let alone that one's self in every moment is divine.
Frederick Lenz
Psychic perception is a much more efficient and accurate method of seeing and knowing reality.
Frederick Lenz
Only the fool wants to go into battle to beat someone for the satisfaction of beating someone.
Frederick Lenz
Dreams are real. This is unreal. This world is unreal. Everybody has it backwards. This is the dream. This is an insubstantial pageant. Nothing here lasts - that is how you know it's the dream.
Frederick Lenz
