You can get stuck in one state of mind or a general area of mind for a thousand lifetimes. Some states of mind afford better views than others.

More quotes by Frederick Lenz
A reverence for life needs to be developed, in which all things are sacred.
Frederick Lenz
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.
Frederick Lenz
Your life can be horrible or it can be incredibly beautiful. It can be boring or exciting. It's seldom in between. Your active use of will determines what will happen to you in this and other lives.
Frederick Lenz
I find it ironic to read stories about myself which have never occurred and are simply so absurd that they are comical. At other times, it is very painful to be so misinterpreted and vilified.
Frederick Lenz
Everybody out there is just doing things for themesleves. So if you don't do that you've got to be crazy ... crazy about selfless giving!
Frederick Lenz
There are many, many different worlds. Just as there are different continents on earth, there are different dimensional planes.
Frederick Lenz
Only real love of the infinite will motivate you. While pain motivates, once we feel comfortable and the pain has stopped, we'll stop evolving. Love is a far superior spiritual vehicle.
Frederick Lenz
Death is only a summer vacation for us. We don't really change or lose what we have learned or who we have been when we die, because we are our karma.
Frederick Lenz
Selfless giving is like putting on make-up. We're covering up a part of ourselves thats not very aware. The thing is when we take the make up off, the selflish part leaves us. We are freeer, clearer.
Frederick Lenz
Combine meditation with career as a yoga. You will find that your practice will not be any less powerful than a person who lives in a monastery. You might even excel because practice in a monastery can get very one-sided.
Frederick Lenz
I am the happiest person I've ever met. This is what Buddhist Yoga and a healthy dose of reading the Declaration of the Independence, The Constitution and the Federalist Papers and anything else I could get my hands on has given me.
Frederick Lenz
Love has very little to do with a person. It comes from us. You can love a surprisingly great number of people.
Frederick Lenz
How do you know you're even here right now? Perhaps you're not. Perhaps you're far, far away and this is just a dream.
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
If you can't feel grateful, if you're discouraged or depressed, then think of the fact that things could be a lot worse than they are.
Frederick Lenz
The effort to lift one's self into perfect enlightenment is a profound thing. It has nothing to do with individual will. It's a refraction of the cosmos. The cosmos delights in itself.
Frederick Lenz
Hell is everything. Heaven is nothing.
Frederick Lenz
In the West when you talk about yin and yang, people normally think of yin and yang as something that's linear. But in the east we tend to think of yin and yang as circles. They're two circles that actually can lie on top of each other, yet they remain separate.
Frederick Lenz
Your life is pure joy, pure ecstasy, when you live in humility.
Frederick Lenz
What can be the dharma at one point in your life can totally reverse itself, and suddenly you might be doing something the opposite or something very new, something you never considered.
Frederick Lenz
