It's only illusions that destroy us. It's illusions that convince us that we can't. It's the illusions of the transient that tell us that all this matters.

Suddenly they have to face each other down - you've got to kill your friends.
Frederick Lenz
Image
A better name for nirvana might be endless love. Love not even in the sense that we see it if we're watching the romantic movie, but love in a sense of no absence.

Image
When you focus on the third chakra it has to pull the kundalini from the root center, through the second, up to the third chakra.

Image
Where you live is important. It is where you dream. You lose or gain a tremendous amount of energy there.
Frederick Lenz
Image
A teacher is there to laugh at you because you have such a high opinion of yourself that you need to be laughed at. You need to sense how small we all are.
Frederick Lenz
Image
As a teacher you just look at someone and you transmit to them what they need to know. Not simply a thought form, but you transmit an awareness level.
Frederick Lenz
Image

Image

Frederick Lenz
Image
Those who practice deserve your respect. If you respect them, you respect yourself. It's easy to be critical, but it does no good. What's important is to be supportive of all who practice.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You are a fluid metaphor for existence. You are your own death and your own rebirth. Here is forever. It never changes. We bring perpetual oblivion until we change the world.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If you hold a negative thought, then it will become more powerful and not only will it send bad energy to the person, but it will crash your consciousness. All the hard work of meditating is sabotaged.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Reincarnation is the dissolution of the self. It's like going swimming in the ocean, no one ever comes out, because one has become the ocean.
Frederick Lenz
Image
People who meditate seek good moments forever. They know that there are other worlds beyond this world. They feel it. I experience those worlds when I meditate.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If you meditate, you can experience the other worlds, the far-flung eternities and dimensions - and you are not stuck in any one of them.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Humility means freedom. It provides growth and takes you out of the cycle of change that you are currently in, which is stagnation.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Some people get tired of continual perception of the finite universe. They feel the perception of the universe over and over in variant forms is kind of an unhappy condition, because it doesn't last.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The difficult opponent is the best.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Physical circumstance will not cause happiness. Or if it does, there is the fear of loss. Now you are a slave to it. You have become bound to it.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Selfless giving is measured by how good you feel. Self giving should be obvious.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The sensual experiences in life are not to be avoided. This is the philosophy of Tantric Buddhism - nor are they particularly to be sought after.
