Quote

You are caught in an empty house, in a box, in a place that is not happy. You are trapped inside you and wherever you go, there you are.

Focus on this moment. Hold your hand and see what it feels like. Go look at some grass. Talk to a palm tree. Outrun a Ferrari. Experience life.

Image
Yoga is a removal of the conscious awareness from the world as you know it - the world that you've constructed - through your focus within your mind, to something else.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Selfless giving is friendliness. An attitude towards life, a reverence for life. It is one of the highest of all ways.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Illusions are shadows moving endlessly across the ground. The shadows are quite real but they're shadows. They have very little substance.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The problem is that the dictator of the tonal wants to eliminate the mystery of life.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I observe that more evolved souls are now reincarnating as women. Women find it easier to meditate and easier to develop their psychic abilities.

Everyone meditates in their own way. Some people sit and practice formal mediation techniques for many hours a day while others spontaneously meditate while watching a sunset, listening to music, or participating in athletics.

Image
For men, it's necessary to push aside that marvelous ego that tells you that you are all knowing and capable, and see that you are not.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Be enlightened for you, just for you. No one else knows or cares. They crucified Christ, you know. They don't take real well, on this planet, to the people who see things differently.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You can lie to yourself and fool yourself and rationalize that the choice you're making is what is right and what is true and what leads to liberation, when it's actually only the fulfillment of desire.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You have to be courageous in life to allow a lightness to engage your being. It is easy to be a jerk. To be unhappy with all this weird stuff around us just seems to me to be such a waste. That's a jerk.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You only find your Teacher once in many lifetimes. Never be afraid to see them and meditate with them. Your Teacher always understands and always forgives.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If you allow people, places and things, to pass through your mind during meditation, you will pull in all those other auras and you be much more confused and dissociated than you were prior to your meditation experience.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You are a being of light composed of cells of light joined together in a matrix.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There's no point in getting frustrated at yourself. Just be truthful.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The ashram is where everyone lives in the same building or on the same grounds. You feel that it's selfish for you to devote your life to one person. You don't just love the one, you love the many also.
Frederick Lenz
Image
It is equally easy, initially, for either a man or a woman to attain enlightenment, what we would call liberation or self-realization.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The second stage of meditation begins when you can successfully stop thought for long periods of time. At this point you move beyond the awareness of this world.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We must control the tendencies within our being that are destructive, when we want to slam somebody else, hurt them, injure them, or push them out of the way. A reverence for life needs to be developed, in which all things are sacred.

We're at the end of the cycle. You've all known it since childhood. In the Hindu division of the ages, this is the Kali Yuga, the dark age. At the end of a cycle, Vishnu takes incarnation as a person. Vishnu is that aspect of God that preserves and protects life. When Vishnu leaves, Shiva comes.
