More quotes by Frederick Lenz
Some people are like psychic sponges, they drain power form others constantly. They lower your awareness because they are at a lower level. If you spend too much time with them, you get pulled down.
Frederick Lenz
There is really only one Zen Master ... and that's yourself.
Frederick Lenz
How do you develop your psychic abilities? Well, to begin with, naturally, you have to want to and believe that it is possible.
Frederick Lenz
Meditate well so you can be a good instrument of eternity. You could have a mediocre meditation today, but you're not going to. Today you might run into someone who you might talk to about the dharma.
Frederick Lenz
The school of awareness is the school of mysticism. Mysticism is the experience of eternity, of that which lies beyond the physical phenomenal experience.
Frederick Lenz
As I'm sure you know by now, most people aren't really very happy. Beyond their surface appearances, the smiles they wear for the rest of the world, most people are soul-sick.
Frederick Lenz
People who work to bring about perfection see work as an extension of themselves. The point is to do a good job. That will empower you. To do a poor job will make you weaker.
Frederick Lenz
Stop trying to be different. Just do what you are good at, and work really hard. You have to work hard to be chaos.
Frederick Lenz
Meditation is not emptiness. That is a way of trying to talk about something that is impossible to put into words. It is a world of fullness, if anything.
Frederick Lenz
Lakshmi is a celestial being who lives in a higher plane of existence. Her mantra is Sring. When you chant it, it brings beauty and light into your consciousness.
Frederick Lenz
You don't need to be able to absorb a tremendous amount of the mystical kundalini to realize God.
Frederick Lenz
Power is the big obstacle, or one of them, that you have to overcome and learn to deal with effectively before you can reach enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
Life isn't complicated. The reason it appears complicated to you is because you are in a very distorted state of mind. That's the basic premise of Buddhism - that you're in a very distorted state of mind.
Frederick Lenz
Unfortunately we've seen meditation insulted in a sense with the image of ritual. You have to dress a certain way, follow a certain type of lifestyle, all that sort of thing, very culty - and that, of course, has nothing to do with the practice whatsoever.
Frederick Lenz
The abuse of power manifests with phony spiritual teachers and phony gurus who tell you how to run your life and what to wear and what to eat, all that sort of stuff. They abuse. People don't realize that, listen to them and ruin their lives.
Frederick Lenz
In high school I was drawn to the study of literature, poetry Shakespeare, contemporary fiction, drama, you name it - I read it.
Frederick Lenz
Anybody or anything can become enlightened because enlightenment is the very nature of existence itself.
Frederick Lenz
If the Zen master sees that it will cause a person to progress, he will ask that person to do a task. The task is charged with power if it's performed properly. It's a koan between yourself and the Zen Master.
Frederick Lenz
The power that enables us to transform our awareness is the release of kundalini. All yoga, either directly or indirectly, all Buddhism, relates to the release of the kundalini energy.
Frederick Lenz
When you could get angry with someone and separate yourself from them, don't do that. If you have people who are difficult to deal with, be neither attracted nor repulsed. Go a step higher.
Frederick Lenz
