The ghetto is not where you live. The ghetto is inside your mind. And anyone who tells you that you can't get out of the ghettos of your own mind has no idea what they're talking about.

You are a fluid metaphor for existence. You are your own death and your own rebirth. Here is forever. It never changes. We bring perpetual oblivion until we change the world.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There are beings who come into this world, from time to time, not simply with miraculous powers, which we call the siddhas, but with a miraculous awareness that is so strong yet so subtle that anyone or anything that touches that awareness is transformed forever.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If you seek the realms of light, the best thing to do is to meditate with love and the gentle aliveness. Meditation should not be forced.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Karma is not a receipt of a physical experience, because of what someone has done.
Frederick Lenz
Image
When you die in this life, you might be experiencing pain, but the structure of your perceptual field will determine your next lifetime. That structure has been determined by the way you have led this life.
Frederick Lenz

If one becomes enlightened, as I did in past incarnations, we leave the structural universes behind. We don't even have past incarnations because the form that had those incarnations has dissolved into the clear light of reality.
Frederick Lenz
Image
A balanced person will get depressed, discouraged, frustrated and angry sometimes, but doesn't direct it towards anybody else. If they do, they quickly realize they made a mistake.

People are under the assumption that the kundalini just flows from the base of the spine up. That's not the case at all. Kundalini also flows downward.
Frederick Lenz
Image
When a person who has had highly evolved past lives is going through a strong past-life transit, that person comes to know things about life, death and other dimensions that most people in our world aren't aware of.
Frederick Lenz
Image
A person who has power has an open mind. Their mind is open and they can see on other levels. Seeing is a quality that comes to a person who has personal power.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Zen is meditation, the actual experience of life directly, immediately with no buffers.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The challenge of power is how to use it and not abuse it. When you abuse it, it reverses on you and it hurts you.
Frederick Lenz
Image
In the game of Frisbee you throw the disk to someone else. The point of Frisbee is perfect communication. The person at the other end of the field is receiving an impression, a vibration from you.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We applaud the people who are film stars, who get elected to an office, who are very athletic, the small group who play with power in a very limited way. But we're completely oblivious to what can be done to the infinite realities that exist in front of us. We deny them.
Frederick Lenz
Image
It's unfortunate that we see a great many women settling. They think that simply because they have gotten the right to vote, own property and have gained some simple freedoms that the battle for women's suffrage is over.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Words are deceptive. You think you understand something because it's explained to you and now you are under no obligation to do anything because you understand it.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Your states of mind do not occur randomly. They occur because of vibratory and karmic patterns.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Christianity is a marketable product. It has very little to do with Jesus Christ. I'm sure it has nothing to do with Jesus Christ at all - what the experience was like to be around the guy.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The chi is the central energy or power that we use in physical expression. When the chi is flowing properly in our lives, we can be very adept athletically.
