Frederick Lenz
At an early age I found the world a very natural place to be. I was always in a meditative consciousness as a child, which children are.
Frederick Lenz
Advanced meditation is facing the immensity of eternity, embracing that which terrifies you and frightens you and loving it because it's God. You are God.
Frederick Lenz
Your life is either getting brighter from moment to moment or it's not. If it's not getting brighter, it's because there's no risk. There's no risk in thinking instead of stopping your thought. There's a lot of risk in stopping your thought.
Frederick Lenz
The heart is a place of great light and their are different gradations of light that pass through the heart.
Frederick Lenz
Every time you find yourself becoming angry, jealous or frustrated, stop and think the opposite thought.
Frederick Lenz
C. S. Lewis, Plato, Aristotle and many more names that I could add, including Einstein's, were individuals who were able to see the innate order in life, which others perceive as chaos.
Frederick Lenz
Some people think Taoism means not doing anything, just going on with your life. That has little or nothing to do with Taoism.
Frederick Lenz
