Frederick Lenz
Image
If the world does not shine brightly, even just the physical, sensual perception after meditation, you have not meditated. You have sat and thought of things that were not real.
Frederick Lenz
Image
All I have to teach you are feelings, the words don't matter much. But as you listen, feel the stillness of my mind, not my mind but of mind...infinite mind.
Frederick Lenz
Image

Frederick Lenz
Image
Your intent is important. You will pull a very deep power when you are working not just for yourself, but you are working for your enlightenment and to aid others in their enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
Image
To be psychic is to see without the senses and to keep the thoughts and emotions of others out of your awareness.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We encompass all of existence, yet a particle of our awareness is focused in this world, in the moment.
Frederick Lenz
Image
All the records of your past lives are contained within your own mind, just as the records of your ancestors are contained within your DNA.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Zen is the path that focuses the most upon meditation. It is almost exclusively a path of meditation.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The greatest miracle is the miracle of wakefulness, to awaken from the dream of life and to see infinity everywhere, even in the finite, in the simple doings of life.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The universe is made up of an endless ocean of life itself. It is an endless ocean of itself. And for a time it binds itself together in particularized forms. Those forms have perception and they perceive themselves as being separate.
