Life for most people is a bad dream. They live in pain, grabbing at what they can for pleasure. As they grow old, they despair. Things don't work out the way you planned.

More quotes by Frederick Lenz

Frederick Lenz
In the Far East, it is taken for granted that the training of a monk is physically rigorous and academically challenging.
Frederick Lenz
In my very early childhood, when I was only 3 or 4 or 5, I would enter for many hours into meditative states in which the world would become light and energy and I would transcend the boundaries of the senses.
Frederick Lenz
You need to accept the fact that you will often do exactly the opposite of what you think is right. You need to accept that you're going to do that and still love yourself.
Frederick Lenz
Any avenue that you follow leads to light. All roads lead to Rome.
Frederick Lenz
His second cycle of teachings discusses the cosmology of the universes. But in his later years, he wrote the tantric texts.
Frederick Lenz
In enlightenment you have to convince a teacher not only that you are worthy of teaching, but then that they should show you some of the secrets.
Frederick Lenz
If you lead a sloppy life, if you indulge in your emotions, if you're always upset, freaked out, stressful, and not happy, you are wasting power and your power level will get very low.
Frederick Lenz
When we go to the desert, it's pure nagual. There you witness stupendous and incredible acts of power that your reason cannot possibly deal with.
