More quotes by Frederick Lenz
Where you live is important. It is where you dream. You lose or gain a tremendous amount of energy there.
Frederick Lenz
When you are meditating, thinking about things in this world is not going to help you. Instead, forget about everything for a while and look at something that is perfect, this will help you deal with the world better.
Frederick Lenz
The teaching that we receive is not necessarily very accurate. The value systems that our cultures have developed are not every open. They are very restrictive. We live in an age that is not enlightened.
Frederick Lenz
What matters is that you meditate, you're seeking enlightenment, you're on the pathway to enlightenment, and you're having fun. Don't look for reassurance in the eyes of others. Look for reassurance in your own eyes. Only you know if Buddhist practice is improving the quality of your life.
Frederick Lenz
We want to see the universe in its absolute, pure, naked, perfection. We want to know its wonder. We want to know the totality of ourselves. That's done in steps and degrees and not in one day.
Frederick Lenz
From my point of view, which is the point of view of no illusions, there is only winning and losing. You might as well be a winner.
Frederick Lenz
Success, failure, pain, small furry animals, household products, freeways, Star Wars systems - all are interlinked in the dance of tantra, the disco of the mind, the ballroom of cosmic consciousness.
Frederick Lenz
The planes of light give you the power to rise above circumstance, the power to rise above your desires and your aversions.
Frederick Lenz
At times of extreme intensity, the kundalini can become active. Suddenly a 70-year old lady, who can't lift a bag of prunes, will lift an automobile a few inches because her grandchild got stuck under it.
Frederick Lenz
Very few people are conscious of the deeper strata of eternity. The primary reason is either because they lack purity or they lack motivation.
Frederick Lenz
In your thoughts, you need to be selective. Thoughts are powerful vehicles of attention. Only think positive thoughts about yourself and your endeavors, and think well of the endeavors of others.
Frederick Lenz
It is much easier for a woman to meditate than it is for men, innately. Their subtle physical bodies pick up the kundalini much more quickly.
Frederick Lenz
The island of the tonal, the way we see life, is there so we can get through our life. It was never intended to become a dictator that would usurp all other views of the world and banish them.
Frederick Lenz
What does God really look like stripped naked? That's the province of enlightenment...the formless, perfect face of existence.
Frederick Lenz
I can throw a great party, but I don't know how to go to one. I can throw a party because when you throw a party you just work all the time. But I could never go to a party because I wouldn't know what to do ... I'd immediately find the kitchen and start to serve food.
Frederick Lenz
I consider those persons to be my students who come and meditate with me on a regular basis, who, in spite of the hardships and difficulties on the path of knowledge, still continue to try, and who respect me as I respect them.
Frederick Lenz
Love teaches you to love your own mortality, just as we love the flowers that bloom for a short time and pass on.
Frederick Lenz
If your parents were strong in one way and weak in another, you will be strong in the same way and weak in the same way. Even though you detest the weakness in them, you will find that you will do exactly the same things because they imprinted you.
Frederick Lenz
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
We see the one light, the one unified reality that we see in others, is the same reality that is within ourselves. We are one with all of existence.
Frederick Lenz
