Frederick Lenz
If silence only conveys the Self, if all words and thoughts are illusions, why do we discuss it?
Frederick Lenz

Frederick Lenz
If you are happier than you have ever been, then your power is increasing. But is it a fast a rate of climb as you would like?
Frederick Lenz
Those who seek liberation want to go beyond individualized perception. The essence of their being wants to dissolve back into the cosmos.
Frederick Lenz
You need to accept the fact that you will often do exactly the opposite of what you think is right. You need to accept that you're going to do that and still love yourself.
Frederick Lenz
To think that God is compassionate is a terrible mistake. To think that God is wrathful is equally stupid. God isn't emotional. You are. To superimpose your emotions on infinity is typically human.
Frederick Lenz
A master of will can teach you how to use will. You watch them and observe them use that will, guided by wisdom, with a happy balance.
Frederick Lenz
Learn that happiness comes through self-control and not being angry or jealous. The only one that you really torment is yourself. It is easier to let go and gain new ways of looking at life.
Frederick Lenz
I can throw a great party, but I don't know how to go to one. I can throw a party because when you throw a party you just work all the time. But I could never go to a party because I wouldn't know what to do ... I'd immediately find the kitchen and start to serve food.
Frederick Lenz
We can't say what enlightenment is, we can't say what it isn't, because these are words and words have nothing to do with reality.
Frederick Lenz
