Beginning meditation is a process of unhooking ourselves from thought, being motivated to meditate. It is very exciting in the beginning because we see the tremendous jumps we make in awareness.

More quotes by Frederick Lenz
Zen is meditation, the actual experience of life directly, immediately with no buffers.
Frederick Lenz
When your thoughts come and you're trying to stop them, simply say No. Learn the mantra No. Every time a thought comes in your mind ... just say no.
Frederick Lenz
We play in the jungle gym of sexuality until our spirit takes us out into a clear field where we can see the stars, the ten thousand radiances of enlightenment. One of those radiances is the dance of sexuality.
Frederick Lenz
Feel eternity around you. Not as an idea, not as a nice intellectualization, but to really feel it not to be some religious fanatic who's strung out on some weird idea of salvation to the exclusion of common sense.
Frederick Lenz
Then you will pick yourself up, no matter how tired you are, and go forward again and again and again, until you've reached liberation.
Frederick Lenz
All of the previously described techniques can be practiced with your eyes open and closed. Most people find that it is easier initially to practice meditation with their eyes closed.
Frederick Lenz
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
There are ten thousand aspects of your mind. Your awareness has ten thousand forms. There is something else. You have to step outside of perception itself.
Frederick Lenz
We erase ourselves we go away. But we don't really go away, and we don't really erase ourselves, since we were never there to begin with. We weren't there to begin with in that what we are, or conceive of ourselves as, is a perception.
Frederick Lenz
In the yoga of love we learn to love consciousness. Consciousness is existence. It is the very stuff of which life is composed.
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
There is nothing that isn't perfect, the only reason we don't see that perfection constantly is because we lack humility.
Frederick Lenz
There are so many traps. There are so many opportunities. Life is a river and we take our boat and we go down it.
Frederick Lenz
In this world people love to talk and be active. Everyone wants to express their opinion. Listen in meditation, not to your thoughts but to your feelings.
Frederick Lenz
Consider your second attention as a spiritual perceiver. Consider how you use it. You may plead innocence. You're not doing anything wrong. Don't feel that you've sinned. You have done what you had to do to survive, as did your mother, as did your grandmother.
Frederick Lenz
If even one woman in the West were to become enlightened, it would change karmas on this planet.
Frederick Lenz
Tantra involves radical change, a change in states of awareness.
Frederick Lenz
Success will come about because you are in a higher state of mind. If you create good karma, then you will go into higher states of mind.
Frederick Lenz
A better name for nirvana might be endless love. Love not even in the sense that we see it if we're watching the romantic movie, but love in a sense of no absence.
Frederick Lenz
Be a perfect flow of energy in whatever you chose to do. This is perfect action.
