All the manifest forms of existence are but illusions. They are momentary displays of consciousness, flashes of lightening in the sky. They are there for a moment and then they are gone.

More quotes by Frederick Lenz
If you are around a lot of human beings who are filled with jealousy and anger and rage and desire, it filters into the mind. Zen is writing a new program to run in the mind.
Frederick Lenz
If I had my choice I'd hang out anywhere. I mean, it doesn't matter. It's all God it's all the same. There's only nirvana for the enlightened.
Frederick Lenz
Humanity actually has the gall to feel they are more advanced than they were technology somehow defines intelligence. If technology enables you to kill more people, that doesn't define intelligence. An intelligent species survives.
Frederick Lenz
Say, for example, you develop the ability to make parking meters disappear. It's probably easier to put a quarter in it. That would be the wisdom on the subject.
Frederick Lenz
If a spiritual teacher says something that doesn't make sense to you, you should always listen to yourself and not the teacher. A little common sense would end all cults.
Frederick Lenz
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
You can't die. Bodies come and go but your spirit is eternal. You're the stuff that life is.
Frederick Lenz
If you are not as happy as you used to be, chances are you are not meditating properly. You may be trying to skip steps. You are using power incorrectly. Your motives are not pure. You don't vibrate quickly.
Frederick Lenz
Gaining energy is accomplished by meditating, by right actions, right thoughts, right deeds, by studying with a real teacher or by just studying the teachings, by creating happiness in your life, and by never giving up.
Frederick Lenz
Our very awareness is the window upon which reality presents itself.
Frederick Lenz
What a man must do is realize that his continued belief in the inferiority of women is going to produce a type of karma that is going to hold him back, and already has.
Frederick Lenz
Most people have no idea how unhappy they are because they don't know what happiness is. When they get a little break from their total pain, they feel a little better and they call it happiness.
Frederick Lenz
A teacher is someone who has taken their mind much further than you have. They've gone into the void further. They've seen the luminous realities. No one has seen them all...but they've seen more than you have and they understand the trap of self-reflection.
Frederick Lenz
You could go outside today and have a glum face, or you could put a smile on your face and go out into the world, even though you don't feel like it - that's selfless giving!
Frederick Lenz
If one thinks of an enlightened person in a negative way, as it hits their aura, it returns very strongly.
Frederick Lenz
Beyond mind, beyond time, beyond space there is immortal awareness.
Frederick Lenz
Examine your experience of the incarnation so far and realistically add up the moments of happiness and unhappiness and you tell me, oh somewhat vaguely nobly born, you tell me, what has it been like for you?
Frederick Lenz
Do not be selfish and feel new people will take more of the teacher's attention and you won't get it. That's nonsense. With that attitude, you won't get it. The teacher sees that attitude and will have very little to do with you.
Frederick Lenz
Ramakrishna didn't suddenly become enlightened. We had years of him meditating, seeking, crying to Mother Kali, going in and out of samadhi but after many years of this process, he was enlightened. He was no longer a finite individual.
Frederick Lenz
The natural elements in the forests, mountains, deserts and large bodies of water, help shield you from the thought forms and auras of other human beings.
