Frederick Lenz
When I began to play Frisbee, I would play with my friends and we used to do difficult things. We would stand in front of lines of trees that were parallel. We would spend hours throwing frisbees back and forth between these tight spots.
Frederick Lenz
Psychic development makes you strong. It develops a common sense attitude in which you don't expose yourself to forces, people and situations that would drain you.
Frederick Lenz
People seem to get caught up in jargon like they get caught up in ashrams and power structures and they never become free. They become masters of jargon and power structures.
Frederick Lenz
This lifetime right now you have a specific destiny. You are destined to die at a certain time, to make a certain amount of money, to have certain associations and friendships.
Frederick Lenz
If we are in a high enough state of consciousness we see that life is only a passing dream.
Frederick Lenz
Only listen to the observations of the enlightened because everyone else is self-centered, egocentric and bound by the net of desire.
Frederick Lenz
Nirvana has nothing do with any of this. None of this is there.
Frederick Lenz
You're a part of me. I'm a part of you and we are all a part of this great nothingness.
Frederick Lenz
