More quotes by Frederick Lenz
The stars in the sky last for billions of years. That's nothing to the mind, nothing. It's an instant, a millisecond. The mind shines radiantly forever. But we don't see the shine because of the clutter.
Frederick Lenz
I think everyone is equally psychic. But through the practice of meditation, you learn to make your thoughts quiet and become more aware of your innate psychic abilities.
Frederick Lenz
We prefer humility in others - and if we prefer it in others - we can soon prefer it in ourselves.
Frederick Lenz
The kundalini rises and the kundalini is hot, it's a hot energy. Sometimes you feel it cascading up your spine, and it's kind of searing or it's tingling, it almost feels sexual.
Frederick Lenz
I was initiated as a Buddhist monk at the age of 19, but I think that initiation is simply a starting point.
Frederick Lenz
When I sit with my students and meditate with them, I channel the kundalini directly into them. I bring them to plane after plane of consciousness. What they would do in 100 years of meditation, I can do in an hour with them.
Frederick Lenz
If you hate yourself and your desires, well, you know, God is your desires and God is your self. As long as you hate God, you'll never realize God.
Frederick Lenz
Enlightenment occurs when your mind merges with nirvana, with what Tibetans call the Dharmakaya, the clear light of reality, which is the highest plane of transcendental wisdom and perfect understanding.
Frederick Lenz
Real humility is something that no one else will see. No one will know about your humility, if it's real.
Frederick Lenz
You need to accept the fact that you will often do exactly the opposite of what you think is right. You need to accept that you're going to do that and still love yourself.
Frederick Lenz
Never think too much of yourself. Realize you are only an instrument of eternity. Do not get stuck in that terrible trap. You can lose everything.
Frederick Lenz
Enlightenment is part of everything and so our minds have to be very big to encompass all things, to understand all things - To see the tao in a grape, the act of sexuality, meditation, work, play, taking a shower, brushing your teeth, being sick and hurting.
Frederick Lenz
If you really love, then you're willing to step outside of your own love to do that which is right.
Frederick Lenz
If you have power, you might be able to heal a person. You could actually get inside their cell structures and create a change.
Frederick Lenz
Once in a while an enlightened teacher goes out into the world and spreads the dharma. They attract some attention, and it is a great spectacle to see who and why and what is drawn.
Frederick Lenz
Nirvikalpa samadhi or sahaja samadhi is all the way up. You get above the cloud line to the land of eternal snows and it's ecstasy beyond ecstasy.
Frederick Lenz
Enlightened people live in very charged states of attention, with a tremendous power circuiting through them.
Frederick Lenz
A categorization implies a hierarchical way of seeing things. Life is really relational, not hierarchical. Hierarchical is a human way of looking at things. Relational is much more the way things are. Everything is connected.
Frederick Lenz
You can know the secrets of life. It doesn't happen to anyone special. You just decide that you want an uncommonly fine life and you will it.
Frederick Lenz
Nonphysical beings are drawn to enlightened beings. Some come to aid them in there work some come to interfere. Some just come to watch. Enlightenment is rare in this world.
