Without enlightenment, everything in life is harsh. Sooner or later you see everyone you love die, unless you die first, of course. This causes you to suffer.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There are people who will think of you in negative ways. You will feel it sometimes. It can actually be physically painful if they're somewhat powerful. You simply have to remove yourself inwardly from these individuals.

Image
Overcoming fear has nothing to do with abandoning common sense. We retain our common sense, but we lose that emotion that is fear.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We're too insignificant and small to really be able to do anything, except cry, not unhappily, but an inner cry, a feeling of reaching to God.

Frederick Lenz
Image
In order to do an empowerment, a person obviously has to be highly empowered, have the power, and also have the structural knowledge of how to transfer it to someone else.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We hide from ourselves by being with others.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Granted, in order to give selflessly, one often starts giving selfishly. As Tiresias said to Odysseus: Honey ... you don't get through hell in a hurry
Frederick Lenz
Image
It is equally easy, initially, for either a man or a woman to attain enlightenment, what we would call liberation or self-realization.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If you're interested in matching your mind with the most intelligent kind of beast I have ever encountered, get yourself a Scotty dog. He'll get bored very fast, and it will require all of your personal power and intelligence to keep up with him. You might find a good friend.

Examine everything that you've been taught, not simply what you've been taught in school, but the images that have been held up to you since the time of your birth.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Clothing has a great deal to do with the attitudes and energy that others direct towards you. I favor the chic, and tend to avoid the trendy. I think that it's good to be chic when possible because it is more inaccessible.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There's no place to go. There's nothing to attain. There's nothing to be reached. Love itself is all that you want.
Frederick Lenz

Consciousness is the screen. The images on the screen are your perceptions, the illusion that life is solid, that there is a material universe.
