More quotes by Frederick Lenz
In sanskrit they say: Tat twam asi - thou art that. You are God. The bubble of your awareness bursts and you're flooded with immortality.
Frederick Lenz
You become a monk and you practice and the teacher tells you what to do. If you find that you have a resistance to that, and the resistance is strong, it just means you're not interested. Why put yourself through some sort of torture. It means you weren't that interested.
Frederick Lenz
If I enter into your dream and say, wake up! If you awaken, then the dream will vanish. We'll be right where we always were and always will be, everywhere and nowhere - eternally perfect, infinite awareness.
Frederick Lenz

Frederick Lenz

Frederick Lenz
To assume that wealth or sexuality or the usage of power, any of these things are not void in nature, gives them a reality they don't actually have.
Frederick Lenz
You are fighting against nothingness all the time by creating a series of shields that you call personality, life history, feelings, ideas, and ways of seeing.
Frederick Lenz
If you can't hold a person in your mind with a good thought, it is better not to think about them at all.
Frederick Lenz
If you are psychic you will become much more aware of the beauty of life. If you are psychic, when you look at a rose, you will see and feel the essence of the rose.
Frederick Lenz
Trying to use the power of yoga to improve your life, this is a terrible mistake. Because all you are doing is binding yourself more. You're putting more of your attention into the transient world.
Frederick Lenz
Success and failure are terrible traps.
Frederick Lenz
Have a healthy respect and love for yourself, but don't be taken out by your ego.
Frederick Lenz
Real happiness is something most people never know. What we experience in deep meditation, that ecstasy is beyond what human beings call happiness
Frederick Lenz
Most people make their choices predicated upon a feeling because analysis really isn't that good a tool.
Frederick Lenz
Their whole life will begin to shift, from their first physical contact with you.
