Phony gurus make themselves objects of adoration and worship. Real spiritual teachers aren't interested in adoration and worship. They like respect only because they realize respect will help the student.

More quotes by Frederick Lenz
Why don't more women attain enlightenment?
Frederick Lenz
The emphasis is on meditation in Tantric Zen. The experience of meditation in formal practice, zazen, where you're sitting down and meditating and concentrating.
Frederick Lenz
You get a very different type of education if you go out to the desert, to the places of power, places where it is easy to cross over from one dimensional plane to another, where power hovers, so to speak.
Frederick Lenz
Purity is also developed in action. Purity is developed when we love.
Frederick Lenz
It is only hard work that brings about results, doing things for others. Forget about your problems. Take responsibility for your life and make it into something beautiful in the midst of changing circumstances.
Frederick Lenz
When your consciousness expands you are in a world, literally, of light. You live in a world of light where nothing is solid. You don't have to be enlightened to have this experience. You just have to start the inner journey.
Frederick Lenz
It is implicit in the self that the self will automatically evolve if you can dissolve it. It re-patterns itself after archetypal formations that exist deep within the mind.
Frederick Lenz
Eternity, I don't know what's right or wrong, good or bad. I may be doing what's right or I may be deceiving myself. So instead, what I'm going to do is give my life to you.
Frederick Lenz
Just as your physical body is composed of tissue, organs, bones, and different parts, so your subtle physical body has many different parts.
Frederick Lenz
To meditate with humility, consider existence. It is infinite. You are finite. You are a finite portion of infinite existence. Let this be your meditation.
Frederick Lenz
When you do something half-heartedly, you don't get much of a result. When you do it fully, you get a great result.
Frederick Lenz
Buddhism is the study of the way the mind works. One has to be able to hold a large number of relational concepts simultaneously in the mind. It is necessary to grid, to literally unlock realities and dimensions with the power of your mind.
Frederick Lenz
Focus your attention on the center of your stomach, in the area of your naval. Feel that this is an area of tremendous strength.
Frederick Lenz
It is possible to renounce everything and attain enlightenment. But most people don't want to renounce they wish to run away from responsibility and hard work.
Frederick Lenz
Some types of nothing are more fun than other types of nothing.
Frederick Lenz
Advanced meditation is facing the immensity of eternity, embracing that which terrifies you and frightens you and loving it because it's God. You are God.
Frederick Lenz
If we look further, we see that we actually contain all of existence. Everyone who has ever been or will ever be, is in some way contained in our awareness. Our awareness is like the sky, it's endless.
Frederick Lenz
This light unglues the formation and structure of the being for a certain period of time. It will reassemble automatically.
Frederick Lenz
Eventually you're supposed to get so confounded by this whole thing that you just give up completely, and that's when it starts to work. Not give up the practice, but give up trying to figure it out.
Frederick Lenz
No one on this earth attains enlightenment anymore without an enlightened master as a guide, unless that person was enlightened in many previous incarnations.
