Meditation is the art of life. Meditation is not simply a practice. It is an experience, awareness, and a way of perceiving life.
Frederick Lenz
Image
A teacher is someone who has taken their mind much further than you have. They've gone into the void further. They've seen the luminous realities. No one has seen them all...but they've seen more than you have and they understand the trap of self-reflection.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We erase ourselves we go away. But we don't really go away, and we don't really erase ourselves, since we were never there to begin with. We weren't there to begin with in that what we are, or conceive of ourselves as, is a perception.
Frederick Lenz
Image
As a student of enlightenment your attitude should not be to become enlightened. It should be to learn.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There's no place to go. There's nothing to attain. There's nothing to be reached. Love itself is all that you want.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If you are doing that which is within you, what that part of you that is beyond body would like you to do, then you would not experience stress because you would be very fulfilled.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Don't try and understand this with your mind. There will be no absolute knowing, no certainty in these thoughts and philosophies and ideas.
Frederick Lenz
Image
When you meditate and still your mind, you will gain the wisdom of knowing things in this world, in other worlds and beyond worlds - it just comes to you.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The purpose of enlightenment is certainly not the teacher, nor is it you. It doesn't have a purpose. Enlightenment simply exists.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We have a spiritual community but everyone lives where they want to. I recommend certain areas to live because of their power.
Frederick Lenz
Image
While people who are enlightened are worthy of respect, to put them on a pedestal is a mistake. To undervalue them is also a mistake.
Frederick Lenz
Image
When you meditate, you take charge of your life. You bring your conscious awareness to a new high point, where the vista is beyond any horizon.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Meditation is the journey to happiness.
Frederick Lenz
Image
A teacher is not someone you need perpetually. You need them to show you how to get through the doorway but once you get through the doorway, you are on your own.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Start to give more thought to the world around you. Stop exposing yourself to situations that drain your energy. You will discover through a trial and error process that you will have more energy.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Spiritual balance is how you deal with opposition, outside of yourself and within.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There are places that are very draining. There are places where there is another dimensional crossover but to a dimension that is not powerful at all.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Try and stop your thoughts. Be patient and then the kundalini will flow through you and bring about substantial changes in your awareness.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The universe is always ecstasy and it's always perfect, but we don't perceive it that well. If we keep doing our yoga in every lifetime, we perceive it more correctly.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If I enter into your dream and say, wake up! If you awaken, then the dream will vanish. We'll be right where we always were and always will be, everywhere and nowhere - eternally perfect, infinite awareness.
Frederick Lenz
