Thinking is usually a waste of time and energy, since thinking is essentially a rehashing of what we already know. As a matter of fact, thinking is an easy way to confuse yourself. The more you think, the less you know.

More quotes by Frederick Lenz
You're bound by the frame. You've become so engrossed in the movie of your life that you have forgotten that you're sitting there watching.
Frederick Lenz
Pain and suffering only occur in temporal time. They don't occur in the world of forever. They only occur in limited transient time, which is a state of mind.
Frederick Lenz
The experience of light in a very pure form always creates happiness. The experience of desire and aversion tends to create unhappiness.
Frederick Lenz
Do not be a sniveler. Do not say you can't be happy, you can't be enlightened. How do you know? It is all chaos.
Frederick Lenz
When you meditate with an enlightened teacher, you will feel something from them. They just dissolve completely, absorption in nirvana, where they don't even have physical contact with this world anymore.
Frederick Lenz
The possibilities for immortality are endless. Here you sit reading these words, a butterfly resting on a flower!
Frederick Lenz
Meditation essentially means having a great time. Some people have applied a sense or a feeling to the meditative experience, such that, meditation has become a quantifiable religious experience, which means it's not any fun!
Frederick Lenz
If global extinction is to be avoided, woman must unite and come to terms with their destiny.
Frederick Lenz
A balanced person will get depressed, discouraged, frustrated and angry sometimes, but doesn't direct it towards anybody else. If they do, they quickly realize they made a mistake.
Frederick Lenz
It's just not working. One nation trying to destroy another, one race trying to destroy another, one religion trying to destroy another - It's the same old story over and over again.
Frederick Lenz
It is possible to take energy from someone else. This is usually done in close, emotional sexual relationships.
Frederick Lenz
Look at how beautiful life is, and just keep looking until you see it. You don't see what is in front of you because you're so distracted by your thoughts.
Frederick Lenz
The teacher is not a person they're a field of energy. They're a series of levels of attention. While they have a body and appear to be there, they're not.
Frederick Lenz
Spiritual Balance is the obvious answer to the obsession that sometimes accompanies religious practice, occult practice, philosophical understandings - the assertion that one is right - that something that you're doing is better than something somebody else is doing, the way you're doing it is better than the way someone else is doing it.
Frederick Lenz
If we get above the individualized soul's journey, you will see that we are all one. We are all one light. In that sense, we are all enlightened.
Frederick Lenz
I am humility, nothing more and nothing less. I am one blade of grass in a sea of grass. I am one wave in an endless ocean of waves. I am one glowing star in a galaxy of stars.
Frederick Lenz
In America people have this funny idea about enlightenment and money. Money expresses a level of commitment. Studying enlightenment is like going to a university.
Frederick Lenz
There is a way to open up the chakras, there is a mystical way. But if you do that, you'll get yourself into very hot water, and it's ultimately slower.
Frederick Lenz
When you eneter into samadhi and seek to make that magical walk between salvikalpa and nirvikalpa samadhi, it's necessary to focus your awareness not on being or nonbeing.
Frederick Lenz
Then there are most of my students who don't know a whole lot about love. You don't know what fun love is. I will remain inaccessible to you until you learn how to love.
Frederick Lenz
