I know some teachers say that you shouldn't display the psychic powers and other powers referred to as the siddhas, but as far as I'm concerned, it doesn't really matter. There are no absolute rights or wrongs in spiritual practice

We are not really separate beings of light. That's a dream we are having, the dream of multiplicity. Meditation takes us beyond the moment to eternal awareness.
Frederick Lenz
Image
From infinite awareness, something comes forward, a sense of infinite awareness and finite awareness. That perception is the birth of a being.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The world has an ending and a beginning. It begins with you and it ends with you. The end of the world occurs when you make a major transition in attention.

In America people have this funny idea about enlightenment and money. Money expresses a level of commitment. Studying enlightenment is like going to a university.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Power has destroyed many people - not really. Power doesn't destroy anyone. People apply it poorly and it can ruin their lives. Power is like fire. Fire is neither good nor bad. It's how you use it.

Meditation is not impractical or unrealistic, nor is it difficult to integrate with any lifestyle or age, in that it's timeless, although it occurs in time.

Transform yourself. It is not the opponent that will change, or the Frisbee. They will change in relation to your change. You must change.

If you're very liberal, then you should go and find a very liberal Zen teacher, a liberal interpretation of the doctrines of the Soto or Rinzai schools.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Yoga means we go a step further back. In yoga we go to the cause. The cause of pain is not the world. The cause of pain is us.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The kundalini comes in two primary forms when it comes forward from a spiritual teacher.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Zen is discipline - the discipline of living life, the discipline of taking a breath, the discipline of not knowing and not trying to know.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I took the liberty in Snowboarding to Nirvana to do a type of parody of what I suppose you would call New Age fiction.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If you become obsessive in spiritual practice, if you just try and try, you are not going to be happy. You are going to be obsessive.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Enlightenment is not a finite state. It's not something that you just do and it's done. It goes on forever.
Frederick Lenz
Image
In the high mountains and desert beings can affect you. Most aren't malicious, but some will lure you to your death.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Your experiences in the causal dimensions will give you knowledge of time, space, dimensionality and what lies beyond all these things.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Some people say: There is no God because, if there was a God, God would stop all the suffering. Nonsense! God is oblivious to suffering. God is beyond suffering. That's what makes God, God, by definition.

Most people are operating out of repetition. If you come to work or school each day with the same mind-state, you probably can't get more out of it than you did yesterday.
