They get you when you're young. When you are a kid, you are conditioned. You are taught language, customs, and right and wrong. You are filled with fears. This conditioning interferes with your psychic perception.

More quotes by Frederick Lenz
Death doesn't change anything. It just gives you a new location. The physical mind dissolves. But the overriding state of mind that you die in is the state of mind that you are born into.
Frederick Lenz
Most people lead lives of frustration and disapointment. They enjoy temporary pleasures and long-lasting suffering.
Frederick Lenz
Maui is a beautiful island. It's really the site of an ancient civilization that we've forgotten about, a civilization that existed millions of years ago. When their time came, they left this world and another race was born, the race of human beings.
Frederick Lenz
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
For every action there is a reaction. Karma can be examined within the structure of an hour, a year, a lifetime, a thousand lifetimes.
Frederick Lenz
At the time of birth an ordering takes place. The awarenesses come together they become specific until a person dies. At that point all those awarenesses, all that you have ever been or will ever be, go back again, into the great unknown.
Frederick Lenz
In the process of self-discovery you will learn to be kind when you could be harsh. You will learn to forgive, mostly yourself. You will learn to be patient because you may have to wait quite a while to become that which you will eventually be.
Frederick Lenz
You don't have to take drugs to be happy. You don't have to drink to be happy. You don't have to have people around you who love you to be happy. You don't need anything except the clarity of your own mind.
Frederick Lenz
Humanity actually has the gall to feel they are more advanced than they were technology somehow defines intelligence. If technology enables you to kill more people, that doesn't define intelligence. An intelligent species survives.
Frederick Lenz
A better name for nirvana might be endless love. Love not even in the sense that we see it if we're watching the romantic movie, but love in a sense of no absence.
Frederick Lenz
Without enlightenment, everything in life is harsh. Sooner or later you see everyone you love die, unless you die first, of course. This causes you to suffer.
Frederick Lenz
Don't fight with your thoughts or try to suppress them with your will. This will only frustrate you and bind you to your thoughts even more strongly.
Frederick Lenz
Naturally, to follow dharma, we have to find out what it is. You have to struggle with it. The answer will not come easily. You will be swayed by your desires, conditioning, and those around you who have ideas about what you should do, what is proper, what is improper.
Frederick Lenz
There are lifetimes where one goes off into the Himalayas and meditate in a cave. But this is not really one of those lifetimes for most people. Our earth has changed.
Frederick Lenz
I lived in a community where celibacy was the rule. My I saw many people asked to leave the ashram for so much as looking intensely at a member of the opposite sex.
Frederick Lenz
The void is ready to snatch you up like a Pac Man machine and Laskshmi is on vacation. You chant Sring - and you get her answering machine.
Frederick Lenz
The time we waste never comes again. The opportunities we miss never come again. The loves we lose never come again. Indeed, in this world of constant change we are fortunate that these things never come again.
Frederick Lenz
There is nothing that isn't perfect, the only reason we don't see that perfection constantly is because we lack humility.
Frederick Lenz
Most teachers of self-discovery have two types of students. They have students they deal with in a more exoteric way than the esoteric students. Esoteric truths are presented to usually a smaller group of students.
Frederick Lenz
We encompass all of existence, yet a particle of our awareness is focused in this world, in the moment.
