We have the possibility of being far removed from what we are, of beginning to taste it and feel it. That is direct knowledge. That is truth. Anything else is mere words.

More quotes by Frederick Lenz
In the western philosophy you can't perceive infinities at every moment. It's not there to do.
Frederick Lenz
The person who takes power will never be happy with those things they gain. They have lost their essential balance and innocence. And without innocence, nothing can further, as they say in the I Ching.
Frederick Lenz
If you can't make freinds with God, make freinds with someone is friends and maybe you'll get invited to the party.
Frederick Lenz
Until women assume their rightful place on earth there will never be an end to wars, cruelty and oppression.
Frederick Lenz
It is possible to move to an enlightened state of mind from a lower bardo or level of awareness. It can happen, but it is extremely unlikely.
Frederick Lenz
Countless forms make up this network. In this world, there are few of us.
Frederick Lenz
The nuns taught me that the best thing you can do in life when things get difficult is to work.
Frederick Lenz
What is perfection anyway in the physical? It is an idea we have. When it doesn't happen we get all bent out of shape and frustrated and angry and then unhappy, we take it out on everybody.
Frederick Lenz
Women do not help each other attain enlightenment because in the description of the world they've been given, unlike that of men, it's every woman for herself in order to survive.
Frederick Lenz
There's a path in enlightenment called the path of negation where we intentionally throw ourselves into experiences that are extremely transient. In other words, we do all the stuff you're supposed to normally avoid to become enlightened, intentionally.
Frederick Lenz
We need a new imprinting. We need the imprinting of enlightenment, of freedom. That comes through our association with a higher being. So classically what occurs is that one meets a teacher.
Frederick Lenz
The limitations that we can see of the sexual description of reality are very apparent. Very few men attain enlightenment, even fewer women.
Frederick Lenz
Enlightenment simply means that you've gotten above the body-mind complex. You've refined the self, dissolved it in the white light of eternity and gone through all the gradient shifts.
Frederick Lenz
When you stop all thought, the battle is won. Everything is still and peaceful. You will come to see the eternal voidness of all things. You will see that nothing is, really.
Frederick Lenz
Compassion and empathy are not the same as feeling sorry for oneself. They are emotions that extend our perceptual ranges.
Frederick Lenz
Nothing is distinct and separate. The waves of the ocean arise and have a separate birth, crashing on the shore, but then back into the ocean they go. They never left it. There is no movement in Nirvana.
Frederick Lenz
When you draw from the endless awareness of nirvana, you are no longer a slave to fortune. When pleasant experiences come your way, you can enjoy them. But if pain and misfortune befall you, you can rise above them and remain unaffected.
Frederick Lenz
Societies on this planet are based upon fear, not upon love. The strong dominate the weak.
Frederick Lenz
Very few people become enlightened in any given lifetime. On the planet earth their might be a dozen who are fully enlightened and several thousand who live in enlightened states of mind.
Frederick Lenz
A part of them has grown very attached to a certain way of life.
