You start meditation as an average human being who is filled with vagueness and not much purpose or definition, who is controlled by their desires, your mind spins all over the place, your senses spin all over the place, out of control.
Frederick Lenz

While people who are enlightened are worthy of respect, to put them on a pedestal is a mistake. To undervalue them is also a mistake.

Image
What matters is that they are curious about life, energy, truth, and themselves and that they haven't sold out to the establishment powers that tell us what to think, what to wear, how to behave, what to believe in and what goes beyond the line of rational and irrational thought.
Frederick Lenz

Love is something that we don't control. We have to be ourselves. You can be sexual, nonsexual, asexual, bisexual, or trisexual and it really doesn't have a lot to do with enlightenment.

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
There is a whole crazy world around you. You can't control it, so don't even try. Because the more you try to control your environment, the more it controls you.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You'll find that you will be able to reorder the island of your tonal so that it's in good shape - logical, orderly, neat, and well-defined.
Frederick Lenz
Image
To think you can just go out and help people and somehow get a better life is not reincarnation as I know it. A better life comes from being happy and inner realizations. Now if helping others adds to that, well then, it's great.

A good warrior, a seventh or eighth degree black-belt, will tell you there is no victory. It doesn't make you more powerful to win. It's just what you do. It's an expression of your personal power level.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There are many ways to store power. You can visit places of power, special locations on the earth that are charged with power.
Frederick Lenz
Image
All happiness is inside your own mind. Chances are, you have not discovered that. Meditation is about experiencing the happiness inside your mind.

The relationship between the student and teacher is ultimately important. In higher spirituality we don't study a subject as much as a person.
Frederick Lenz
Image
This is still a very primitive age, and I'm afraid they may not get much further here.

Image
You have to refine your being. You have to go through all of the stages and steps of erasing yourself through service to others with purity, humility, integrity.
