Self-knowledge, I guess, is hard. But I think pain is harder, personally. I think to be hopeless is very hard. I think to die without hope or to live without hope is very hard.

More quotes by Frederick Lenz
Those who practice deserve your respect. If you respect them, you respect yourself. It's easy to be critical, but it does no good. What's important is to be supportive of all who practice.
Frederick Lenz
Never expect anything from a particular meditation. Once you have gotten started, different methods get you into the stream, let the meditation take you wherever it would like to.
Frederick Lenz
Very few people are conscious of the deeper strata of eternity. The primary reason is either because they lack purity or they lack motivation.
Frederick Lenz
Don't be afraid of losing a little power in daily associations. People who seek power and knowledge aren't misers. They aren't afraid. That is paranoid.
Frederick Lenz
There is no way to measure it ... because there's no one to measure it.
Frederick Lenz
I have several Scottish Terriers. I find them to be the most wonderful dogs.
Frederick Lenz
Anyone has the ability, if they choose, to move to the higher end of the state of mind they are in. From that higher end, they can generate another state of mind.
Frederick Lenz
We need a new imprinting. We need the imprinting of enlightenment, of freedom. That comes through our association with a higher being. So classically what occurs is that one meets a teacher.
Frederick Lenz
When it comes time to die, you will not be afraid. By meditating, you will have already seen beyond life and death and you will see there is nothing to fear.
Frederick Lenz
There are seven primary centers, junctions, within the subtle physical body. These are called the seven chakras.
Frederick Lenz
Chaotic mathematics is essentially the study of chaos. It can't be chaos, if you can study it and it has an order.
Frederick Lenz
Ramakrishna didn't suddenly become enlightened. We had years of him meditating, seeking, crying to Mother Kali, going in and out of samadhi but after many years of this process, he was enlightened. He was no longer a finite individual.
Frederick Lenz
When time stops, matter stops.
Frederick Lenz
The Grand Canyon is living evidence of the power of water over a period of time. The power may not manifest immediately. Water can be very powerful, like a tidal wave.
Frederick Lenz
A lot of people trash their subtle physical body with psychedelic drugs. While they do certainly give you experiences in altered levels of attention, you pay a price for it. They definitely screw up the subtle physical. Hatha Yoga can be good for that.
Frederick Lenz
Loneliness is a feeling that is created by our ego. The ego feels separate from the rest of creation. The answer to overcoming those feelings is ecstasy.
Frederick Lenz
Zen is meditation, the actual experience of life directly, immediately with no buffers.
Frederick Lenz
In the Bhagavad-Gita, a dialogue ensues in the middle of a battlefield, symbolizing the battlefield of life which we are fighting through our illusions.
Frederick Lenz
We have the possibility of being far removed from what we are, of beginning to taste it and feel it. That is direct knowledge. That is truth. Anything else is mere words.
Frederick Lenz
In the West people spend most of their time and energy working. The problem is you are so tired from work that you don't have much energy to meditate - unless you use work in a tantric way.
Frederick Lenz
