Don't become a spiritual bigot. Don't feel that just because you meditate and you are striving for enlightenment that you are in any way superior to any other person. Be even. Be easy. You will last longer on the pathway to self-discovery.
Frederick Lenz
Image
At a certain point I left my spiritual teacher because I began to see the limitations of my teacher, who was a very powerful occultist, but who I thought was, to some extent, limiting others in their spiritual growth.
Frederick Lenz
Image
It is better to agree with a wrong idea than to press a right idea on other people.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Physical circumstance will not cause happiness. Or if it does, there is the fear of loss. Now you are a slave to it. You have become bound to it.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Fear can be used to get into your attention. Any way a person can get you to think of them, allows them to drain you.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Ego synthesized is selfhood, the sense of self-importance, that you really matter ... nothing could be further from the truth.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We could be unhappy and discouraged for ourselves, but we're trying to be in a high vibratory state so we can be of service to others.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The energy strands and bands of our being are linked in a certain way and makes us what we are. It causes us to perceive a certain level of the dream of life. But you can reorder those. That's magic, you see.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Our failure to see and access the pure joy and radiance of life is owning to a lack of awareness. In any situation there is beauty. Even at the moment of one's death there is beauty.
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.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We have two choices in life: One is to fulfill ourselves. The other is to take the time and energy that we would utilize in fulfilling ourselves and use it to make others happy.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The most important thing is sensitivity. Many people have sex and don't feel anything, and that seems kind of sad to me. The answer is not necessarily the avoidance of sex, but learning to be sensitive and to love and to care.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I have seen people who practice yoga and Buddhism who are scared to death of the sorcery powers of others. This is absurd.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We seek absolute neutrality in Buddhism. We don't want to be drawn into anything in particular. We don't want to be pushed away from anything in particular.
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
Your ego interferes, your sense of self. When you let go of the mind, the Frisbee will take its own path.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The ego is a false perception of self. It's an idea, a transitory identity that we've picked up.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Your ability to use mind whatever way you choose is outrageous. Much will depend upon how intensely you approach the study and the state of mind in which you begin.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Practitioners of tantra don't decide to break the rules. They are not particularly hung up on having sex or eating meat or drinking alcohol. They don't strive to do these things, nor do they strive to avoid them.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Even though it's not perceivable to the mind or senses, it's there and enlightenment is absolute freedom.
