The trap of the self is the trap that causes unhappiness. We define ourselves too much whereas the infinite, the pure radiant spirit, is not so definable.

More quotes by Frederick Lenz
We are immortal life. Think of the opportunity of self-realization. What a gas!
Frederick Lenz
You can be in a state of mind for a few seconds and forget that you were ever in any other state of mind. That's what we mean by illusion.
Frederick Lenz
When you do something for someone else, it's for you. When you do something for yourself, it's for someone else.
Frederick Lenz
Some people meditate because they want to get the larger picture on life. It could get kind of discouraging if this was all there was.
Frederick Lenz
You don't have to meditate. You don't have to practice self-discovery and Buddhism. You should only practice self-discovery if you really have had it with the human world.
Frederick Lenz
The psychic does not have much to do with channeling. All you are doing is getting information from a source that may or may not be accurate and may or may not have underlying motives.
Frederick Lenz
As long as you continue to run away from the world, I will not be able to show you your luminosity.
Frederick Lenz
It's not what you do - it's the intensity of your feeling that determines how far you go in the spiritual life.
Frederick Lenz
Everything is amplified in the world of attention at night. People are more open to forces. That is why human beings cluster around each other in housing developments - a group force pervades and keeps the beings out.
Frederick Lenz
Power itself is simply a word to describe attention, awareness, which embodies all things.
Frederick Lenz
Certain drugs provide brief excursions into altered states of consciousness. The problem is that the perceptions and understandings that come from these experiences don't tend to last.
Frederick Lenz
In meditation the mind stops, thought ceases. When thought stops, the world stops. When the world stops, perception stops. When perception stops, the sense of I as a perceiver falls away.
Frederick Lenz
What you have done causes things to happen. Your situation in life now has been caused, is predicated upon, your previous actions. That is karma.
Frederick Lenz
The more lives you have, the harder it is to change, yet the stronger you are. It's a kind of funny dichotomy.
Frederick Lenz
As you pass through bhakti yoga, as you pass through love, you're elated. You're fulfilled and you're joyous.
Frederick Lenz
There's many kinds of kundalini, just as there's a spectrum of light. Put light through a prism and you get different gradations. So there are different gradations of kundalini. Some gradations of kundalini are darker, some are lighter.
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
You don't have to do anything to be happy, nor do you have to avoid anything. Happiness comes from within your mind. Happiness already exists.
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
For most persons, the mystical kundalini energy is easier to initially perceive, unless you're extremely sensitive. It's more of a rush, a flash. There's an electric quality to it, a burning heat.
Frederick Lenz
