Flaky devotionalism, bowing and scraping and sucking up to the teacher is very phony. It is counterproductive to enlightenment and spiritual development. What is necessary is mutual respect.
Frederick Lenz
Image
When you love someone, you shouldn't feel that they should love in return. You have to give people freedom.

Frederick Lenz
Image
There wasn't a single day in which the world was created. It's created anew at every moment. The structures of eternity are completely fluid but they are bound together by the mind forming a nexus point so reality comes into being.
Frederick Lenz
Image
At the time of death we walk through a doorway and our spirit, which is very thin, slides through into another world.
Frederick Lenz

If you were in a perfected state of consciousness, you would only see perfection in all things.
Frederick Lenz

Psychic development is a necessary skill in leading a successful and happy life. Your intellectual processes and your senses don't give you enough information to distinguish the real from the unreal.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We see a lot of people who decide to go out and teach meditation. They become so wrapped up in it that they stop progressing themselves and they really don't have that much more to teach.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The quieter you can make your mind, the more you've invoked your will.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There are many paths that lead to enlightenment. There are lesser enlightenments along the way to a larger enlightenment, referred to sometimes as liberation.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Life is not dependent upon our classifications and our categories, our science. But we are. We find it interesting and helpful.
