Every day work on your humility through your meditation, giving more of yourself, giving those things you don't want to give.

Image
Within silence all things are contained. What appears to our eyes to be life is but a thin curtain, a gauze penumbra, which stultifies our vision, which prevents us from seeing the truth.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Tantra works well for people who are engaged in relationships and sexuality. Sex itself is just an action. It's just part of the dream.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The world has an ending and a beginning. It begins with you and it ends with you. The end of the world occurs when you make a major transition in attention.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You can take the kundalini from the crown center and bring it down. You can bring it up or you can stabilize them both. When you stop breathing in meditation, the kundalini is stabilized.

Image
Whenever I work with anyone, it is an opportunity for them to become more professional and do something for someone else.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There are phony teachers who profess all kinds of things, and I think you will figure out real fast who they are. They just don't feel right.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Enlightenment is a journey. It is a journey that is made alone. It is a journey that is made with a teacher.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I entered a spiritual community when I was 20, which I was in for 11 year, with very strict meditative practices, with an Eastern teacher. It was very much like a religious order.

One person's cult is another person's spiritual organization.
