We fall into states of illusion - we forget all this. We get caught up in desires, frustrations, political movements, philosophies, religions, the getting of a living, the pain of a body, the pleasure of a body.

More quotes by Frederick Lenz
In sexual contact a doorway opens between people, and it is very possible for someone to be abusive at that time with energy.
Frederick Lenz
Love is the only rule in self-discovery. If you've forgotten that rule, you've forgotten everything. It's not what you can get it's what you can give.
Frederick Lenz
Power, people are obsessed with it. You can take a nice person and turn them into a slob, into an insane being, craving power, destroying anything that stands in their way.
Frederick Lenz
If all the members of a team have synchronized their energy and they have all subordinated their egos to success of the team, then we have a functioning unit. If we have a lot of hotshots who want attention, you won't really play that well.
Frederick Lenz
You'll notice all around the Hindu temples couples, statues and drawings, in various erotic forms of love-making. This used to give the British a lot of trouble because they were kind of white and uptight. It didn't quite fit. How could a temple of God be covered with pictures of people, in their term, fornicating?
Frederick Lenz
Nature is the endless reflective pattern of existence in eternity. As I sit here watching the leaves and watching their patterns, I'm reminded of so many things I've seen in other planes and in other worlds.
Frederick Lenz
You can just sweep the floor generally and gain nothing from it. Or you can figure out the best way to sweep the floor, put your power into it, use it as a concentration exercise, and be meditative.
Frederick Lenz
Purity is also developed in action. Purity is developed when we love.
Frederick Lenz
The teacher will have a certain imprint, and each teacher imprints differently. Ultimately the imprint of the teacher is a limitation that you will have to overcome in your final stages of knowledge.
Frederick Lenz
Meditation is not emptiness. That is a way of trying to talk about something that is impossible to put into words. It is a world of fullness, if anything.
Frederick Lenz
Yoga is a removal of the conscious awareness from the world as you know it - the world that you've constructed - through your focus within your mind, to something else.
Frederick Lenz
All success in sports and athletics, from the Zen point of view, comes from the mind. No matter what kind of shape your body is in, there is disharmony in the being.
Frederick Lenz
If you're very liberal, then you should go and find a very liberal Zen teacher, a liberal interpretation of the doctrines of the Soto or Rinzai schools.
Frederick Lenz
Liberation means no rebirth. Now, does that mean you don't reincarnate? Well, you never did reincarnate.
Frederick Lenz
Kirshna says its better to be a winner than a loser. It runs counter to what a lot of people whould think, because they have watered down, quasi-religious ideas about that which creates in enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
There is a definite way to do this. There is a training program that you will go through and it's delightful. It's absolutely beautiful.
Frederick Lenz
There are two choices available in duality - one side or the other side. Everyting is formed from that.
Frederick Lenz
It's amazing to me how many people who profess to be spiritual seekers are self-seekers, and how few of them ever consider God.
Frederick Lenz
Advanced yoga is not withdrawal from the world. That's a preliminary state.
Frederick Lenz
Don Juan, in the teacings of Carlos Castaneda, makes the same point. You have to fool people into seeking knowlege. People will not do it of their own volition.
