Frederick Lenz
Image
What we are seeking to do is not melt the map of America. We are seeking to melt the self, the solid form that we consider ourselves to be.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The judgment that you pass today will only hinder a person in their spiritual evolution. All you do is say to the person, psychically: This is what you are. You're fixed. You can't change.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Whatever you want you can get, when you understand the secret of will. But wisdom is needed so that you do not use your will abusively because you'll get hurt.
Frederick Lenz
Image
When you love someone, you shouldn't feel that they should love in return. You have to give people freedom.

Image
We see an enlightened teacher to gain a sense of humor, to learn balance and proportion and of course to learn wisdom.
Frederick Lenz
Image
A person who is enlightened does not have to reincarnate, or they may. If they chose not to, they can go beyond the wheel, and slide into nirvana.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You can just stay in oblivion, going through your days and your life and your experiences, staying with your friends, family. If that suits you, it's good. But for some people, it's not enough.

Image
The human mind and the entire life process is chaotic. Chaos is not something that lacks order chaos has varieties of order within it.
