We are many, many selves. We're not just a finite being. The selves don't necessarily speak in words. But they are you.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If we really reflect and discriminate, we'll find that all things are created by our perception, that all states exist within the mind.

Frederick Lenz
Image
You think you are somebody and that is where the problem begins. You're really not somebody, you're everybody. You objectify yourself into thinking that you are a particular state of being.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Only when there are no impressions of others clouding our mind, can we sit and practice the glorious practice of meditation.
Frederick Lenz

Frederick Lenz
Image
Can you control your anger, lust, frustrations, and jealousies? Those are the only people worthy of the higher teachings. By worthy, I mean that they are the only ones capable of it.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Nature soothes us. Nature heals us, and something more, the woods are a place of power.

Spiritual Balance is the obvious answer to the obsession that sometimes accompanies religious practice, occult practice, philosophical understandings - the assertion that one is right - that something that you're doing is better than something somebody else is doing, the way you're doing it is better than the way someone else is doing it.
Frederick Lenz
Image
When your mind drifts away from one of the secret meditation techniques, do not become upset or frustrated. Gently move your mind back to the technique you were practicing and begin again.
Frederick Lenz
Image
In Tantric Buddhism, we believe that Samsara is Nirvana. That is to say that everything in the universe is part of us. And we also are part of everything in the universe.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The women that I met were exceptional, extraordinary - tremendous purity, tremendous gentleness, self-giving and power.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Knowing about reincarnation helps us relax. It assists us with an understanding of death and dying. Death is not an end, quite the contrary.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The world is empty - all of the people and places, the earth, the seas, mountains, deserts, forests and cities, and the beings that inhabit them, are unchangeable.
