More quotes by Frederick Lenz
Psychic beings are childlike, delicate and easily destroyed.
Frederick Lenz
The void is ready to snatch you up like a Pac Man machine and Laskshmi is on vacation. You chant Sring - and you get her answering machine.
Frederick Lenz
You stand on the edge of eternity, with a vista that is so incredible, so powerful, so perfect that it's overwhelming. You are so overwhelmed - you no longer exist.
Frederick Lenz
In the high mountains and desert beings can affect you. Most aren't malicious, but some will lure you to your death.
Frederick Lenz
The key to gazing is stopping thought. Gazing is a soft focus you are touching something with your luminosity. If you could but look into the mountains you would see a diffuse glow.
Frederick Lenz
A person who doesn't dress well, who doesn't spend time and attention with their physical being, has a very loose being.
Frederick Lenz
Try to have a more expanded sense of that which you are. Feel that you are eternity. There's only goodness. There's only light.
Frederick Lenz
Happiness is found principally in meditation. Let your mind flow out into eternity. You have to exert some effort. Then you will notice a subtle smile on your face.
Frederick Lenz
There is a sense of competition in Zen. You are competing with your thoughts and trying to overcome them.
Frederick Lenz
The most important thing is sensitivity. Many people have sex and don't feel anything, and that seems kind of sad to me. The answer is not necessarily the avoidance of sex, but learning to be sensitive and to love and to care.
Frederick Lenz
Grammar has qualities, shapes and forms.
Frederick Lenz
When self-consciousness stops, there is nothing -nothing left to stop, start, begin or end.
Frederick Lenz
Don't run away from the world. The world is God. Don't run towards the world. God is the void. Don't be afraid of the complexities of this life, nor the stark simplicity of death.
Frederick Lenz
Everything that you see here, in other words, is a reflection of a higher reality.
Frederick Lenz
By asseting the creation myth, in which God is a man over ealier creation myths in which God was viewed as a woman, men hoped to prove that the position of supremacy that they had assumed was Divine Law.
Frederick Lenz
The idea of the walls of monastery was to keep everybody else out because you wanted to develop a certain type of life. Most people in the world had different ideas on the subject.
Frederick Lenz
Inspire people very selectively with sincerity and with respect. You want to increase your energy? Then want, inside your heart, to inspire others. It will lift you tremendously.
Frederick Lenz
The light is not quantifiable. You experience it in meditation when thought stops. When you go beyond the limitations of the ego, the light is waiting for you.
Frederick Lenz
You can get stuck in one state of mind or a general area of mind for a thousand lifetimes. Some states of mind afford better views than others.
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.
