Image
To see someone manifest all the astral lights, to be surrounded by light, to have light emanating from their body, pulsing waves of gold light - this is the miracle of enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Humility is courage, the open acceptance of your own perfection.
Frederick Lenz
Image
This solidity is not true. The apparent solidity is the delusion of the senses and of the self. Everything is made up of infinite, intelligent light.

Image
As you become a powerful person, it becomes increasingly important to have periods of solitude. Take a weekend by yourself. Go up into the mountains or desert and check into a little cabin. Go by yourself.
Frederick Lenz
Image
People in the West sometimes have these marvelous visions of India and Tibet. They assume that there are all these sadhus walking around and everybody is breathing enlightenment. Forget it. Don't look at it through rose-colored glasses.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Never settle for that which is easy and comfortable or the necessity of seeking that which is difficult and uncomfortable.

You are a part of everything. You are like the guys in the bar and that gal on the corner with the red dress. We are a little bit of everyone. Let's not get too fancy here.

Frederick Lenz
Image
Enlightened teachers are not logical. They don't function from levels that are understandable to the human mind. They're not religious. Religions form around them, usually after they've died.
Frederick Lenz
Image
No one sees life like you do, because you are no one. You change constantly, like the light outside the window.
Frederick Lenz
Image
It is better to agree with a wrong idea than to press a right idea on other people.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Samadhi is not going to take away your humanity. It will give it to you. You will become more cosmopolitan, more conscious, and more infinite.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There is a world of deaf, dumb and blind people out there, who are shuffling through their lives, not knowing how wonderful life can be. They have their moments, but they are very unconscious.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Chakras really are dimensions. We think of them as objects, but they're not really. They're dimensional access points, whereby we can enter into different levels of mind, and that happens automatically.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There are views. And what we see in a view is not necessarily what is in the view, all that is in the view. We have to separate, to some extent, the perceiver from that which is perceived or we have to lose all distinction whatsoever.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I had a father who was strong and kind and loving beyond ... at the same time who was extremely puritanical, who had been raised in a religion with extensive morality.
Frederick Lenz
Image
When you wish to subjugate a people, you have to convince them of their own inherent weakness.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You are not a body. You are not a mind. You are infinite light, infinite intelligence, the radiance of all beings, the dharmakaya - the endless light of creation.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You can't throw your ego away, but you can use its innate desire to experience that which is beyond itself to give you the impetus to meditate.
