A lot of people have this live or die attitude with mediation. It has to be all or nothing. I don't think it should be. It's a study that you follow for the rest of your life.

More quotes by Frederick Lenz
When you combine a media - bent on exploiting tabloid-type stories to boost ratings and circulation by innuendo and titillation - with unhappy or opportunistic individuals who have nothing going for them in their own lives, you get a bitter brew.
Frederick Lenz
Purity is very fragile when it takes physical manifestation. It is very, very strong in its original aspect.
Frederick Lenz
It's certainly easy to meditate on top of a mountain, but one should be also able to meditate in the heart of the city.
Frederick Lenz
Spend time alone in areas of low population density, where you can feel the stillness. Go out into the desert or up into the mountains or to the ocean where there aren't too many people.
Frederick Lenz
There is a definite way to do this. There is a training program that you will go through and it's delightful. It's absolutely beautiful.
Frederick Lenz
It is necessary to do a very thorough examination of your life and to discover whether the people in your life, no matter how much you love them, are using you or abusing you.
Frederick Lenz
In this world we see more passion than dispassion. We see more fear than knowledge. Armies rule the world. Fear-net is happening. Consequently, everyone is raised with fear embedded in their consciousness.
Frederick Lenz
In India and other places, there are people who fool themsleves. They walk around all day saying, Who am I? Who am I?
Frederick Lenz
There is no continuity at all. The universe isn't any particular way. It strictly depends upon perception.
Frederick Lenz
It is possible with pure willpower to force the kundalini up the shushumna, through the chakras. You will develop visions of other worlds that will not necessarily stop when you want them to. This is a condition we call insanity.
Frederick Lenz
We don't live forever. We have a limited energy. You have to determine those things that you direct your energy towards, otherwise you get yourself in too many places and nothing succeeds.
Frederick Lenz
Fulfillment of desire taken to extremes doesn't necessarily make us happy. It tends to make us rather cynical.
Frederick Lenz
When we erase perception, then we erase that which perceives perception. The universe dissolves and we see that it was never real to begin with.
Frederick Lenz
People who work to bring about perfection see work as an extension of themselves. The point is to do a good job. That will empower you. To do a poor job will make you weaker.
Frederick Lenz
Who needs to go the horror movies? Just go outside or turn on the TV. Buddha called it the nightmare of the day. Welcome to incarnate experience.
Frederick Lenz
Power comes from the navel center. If you meditate for an hour or so a day and you focus on that sphere, you will release a tremendous power that will enter your body. We call it the chi.
Frederick Lenz
Mystical power, as you know, has a whole different flavor to it. It's much more raucous at times it's much more poignant at times. It involves more of the emotional body.
Frederick Lenz
Let the rain of unhappy and tragic experiences fall, as sometimes it inevitably must, even in the lives of the enlightened masters. If your mind has become one with nirvana, you will remain happy at all times.
Frederick Lenz
Your own nature is pure, spotless, and pristine. Through association we drag ourselves down or we can raise ourselves up.
Frederick Lenz
All of the universes are but phantoms, mirages, and while they have their own essence, their own pantomime - they pass forgotten.
Frederick Lenz
