More quotes by Frederick Lenz
Those who love and who have a sense of purity live in a very luminous band of awareness.
Frederick Lenz
When you are in a condition of light everything is ecstatic, everything is joyous, everything is beautiful. Your attention field is subtle. The ego is quiet. The mind is still. Your heart is happy.
Frederick Lenz
It wasn't until after living in California for many years that I realized that you don't believe what anybody says, ever. Whatever they say, they're just making a movie - they just like the way they sound.
Frederick Lenz
Only the enlightened are consistently happy. Their happiness is not predicated upon the events and experiences that take place in this world. Instead it is based on the boundless inner energy they gain from their connection with the world of enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
We see the most beautiful creations whither. The beautiful young maiden becomes the old woman and she hates her body because it isn't what it used to be. The young man becomes the old dotard who has trouble remembering.
Frederick Lenz
Death is simply a change in perception. It is not an end to perception as a finite being.
Frederick Lenz
Take chaotic mathematics, for instance. The universe is chaos. But chaos is whimping out. There is no chaos. There are just different levels of order in the universe.
Frederick Lenz
Imagine for a moment that you were God. Not God as a man or woman, but God as the awareness of all life. To be that in physical form is to be an enlightened person.
Frederick Lenz
It is very important that your career raises your awareness. If your career is lowering your personal power, then it has got to change.
Frederick Lenz
Do not feel that you are destined not to make that final liberation in this life. This is egotism in a reverse form. Don't be concerned one way or the other.
Frederick Lenz
Don't be afraid to experiement with your life and with your heart, your meditation and your being. Just love.
Frederick Lenz
You can go through hundreds of lifetimes in one, and it all starts with daily meditation practice.
Frederick Lenz
The attention that's being projected by men who simply watch you walking down the street, in the office, or in bed, in most cases, is going to be extremely destructive.
Frederick Lenz
Learn to accept the transitory nature of existence of the body and the mind see eternity in everything, this world, the other worlds, and nirvana.
Frederick Lenz
Trying to use the power of yoga to improve your life, this is a terrible mistake. Because all you are doing is binding yourself more. You're putting more of your attention into the transient world.
Frederick Lenz
It doesn't really matter what you do. It is your state of mind that matters.
Frederick Lenz
I know some teachers say that you shouldn't display the psychic powers and other powers referred to as the siddhas, but as far as I'm concerned, it doesn't really matter. There are no absolute rights or wrongs in spiritual practice
Frederick Lenz
There is a beautiful flow to the study of Zen. If it is not making you happier, then you are not practicing correctly.
Frederick Lenz
In the white light of eternity, there is only eternity.
Frederick Lenz
The pageant of life is divided into ying and yang. They're two circles. You can follow either circle and manage to develop enough speed to move beyond this world to other worlds, dimensional realities.
Frederick Lenz
