More quotes by Frederick Lenz

Frederick Lenz
The causal body holds the structure. The causal body is the coding. So you are not just scattered all over the ten thousand states of mind.
Frederick Lenz
In no way can words convey the nagual. But they open up the possibility. They allow an admission on the island of the tonal.
Frederick Lenz
As the prana current, kundalini and different energies begin to move through you, you will feel yourself moving and rocking. Keep the body still, otherwise that energy will be lost as it expresses itself through the physical.

Frederick Lenz
Up until now, women have depended completely upon men for their survival. You're dealing with thousands of years of history, where sexual slavery was the condition. While suddenly the laws may change, to some extent, the conditioning doesn't go away that fast.
Frederick Lenz
Buddhism isn't about temples, and incense, and shaved heads, and robes. It's not about church. There are aspects of Buddhism that involve that. People enjoy that, it helps them, it strengthens their practice.
Frederick Lenz
Some people just chase the glittery stuff and they have no substance to their life whatsoever. Actually all they really want is power. But they pretend they're interested in enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
The intuitive wisdom that comes from your infinite mind can add to your creativity, success and well-being, and can take you to the threshold of enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
In the Far East, studying yoga is comparable to a mixture of attending one of the best Western universities, and of being an intrepid explorer.
Frederick Lenz
Power comes from doing meditation, leading a controlled life, being conservative, not wasting all your energy on drugs, alcohol and sex and other pastimes. The guideline for all experience is how you feel afterwards.
Frederick Lenz
In Zen, and in other forms of self discovery, we do have a transference that occurs where psychically, information, blocks of attention, are transferred to the student.
Frederick Lenz
We break off obsession by laughing at ourselves, by learning to be funny, by just seeing the joy in life and by having a terrific love for this world.
Frederick Lenz
All action is generated by desire. It is the desire to live that causes us to reincarnate.
Frederick Lenz
