Pass the popcorn, please. Life is a film, theatre, a theatre of the soul. We play different roles on different stages. At death, we walk offstage. At birth, we walk onstage.

Only when you are by yourself can you realize how wonderful you are.
Frederick Lenz
Image
A life that most people will never even know about can be yours in this study, but only if you approach it with equanimity, poise, grace, balance, and professionalism.
Frederick Lenz
Image
This light unglues the formation and structure of the being for a certain period of time. It will reassemble automatically.
Frederick Lenz
Image
When you love someone, you shouldn't feel that they should love in return. You have to give people freedom.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Enlightenment means that you're never the same. You move and shift as the quiescent state, in a body or out of it. And since the quiescent state is perpetual and endless ecstasy, therefore you are endless.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The abuse of power takes happiness away.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I think that was E.T.'s central appeal, personally. E.T. is this metaphorical journey, this strange Odysseus from another world, who just wants to go home. Obviously, home must've been better!
Frederick Lenz
Image
Personal power is the ability to enter into different planes of reality.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Greed, fear, lust, hate, jealousy, these are part of reality too ... bundles of consciousness wrapped tightly, barbs on which you can injure yourself, volatile energies that serve as separations between yourself and perfect stillness.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If your nature is infinite awareness trapped in a body, suddenly there's a lack of happiness, a lack of freedom. No matter what you get you'll never be happy, because these are all trinkets.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I respect self-giving and I've tried to lead my life with that as the ideal. But real self-giving is when we take our being, that which is most precious to us, and we throw it into eternity with a total sense of offering.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Even enlightened people think of themselves as beginners. They probably think of themselves as beginners more than others do - perpetual beginners who begin again each moment because their subject is endless.
Frederick Lenz
Image
How can you give something to someone who has everything? If you think men are tough to shop for at Christmas, try God. God has everything except one thing, friends. God doesn't have friends.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Nirvana is a step beyond. You dissolve into the universe. The universe dissolves into you until there is no longer a difference. There is no sense of individual self as perceiver.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The high priests and priestesses taught the children the secret meditation techniques, along with methods and ways of living that would increase their pranic levels and help them develop their psychic skills.
Frederick Lenz
Image
A number of Guru's feel that there is something wrong or sick about being gay. I think it really doesn't matter what your sexual preference is what matters is the quality of your love.
Frederick Lenz
Image
People want power but not wisdom. Power without wisdom is a very dangerous thing. Better to have wisdom first.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Our past affects us, our present affects us, and even our future can affect us. We live in the relative world of time and space.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If you meditate, you can experience the other worlds, the far-flung eternities and dimensions - and you are not stuck in any one of them.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I must play my role, great or small - that is humility, without self-importance, without self-indulgence.
