Image
Expect forces to interfere with you and expect to conquer them all, if you are serious about the study. Just as there are powers that interfere with those who seek enlightenment, there are forces that will help.

Frederick Lenz
Image
I'm an observer of life. I like to watch people, and I like to watch cactus. I like to talk to mountains and communicate with my friends in the other spheres and dimensions.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Certain drugs provide brief excursions into altered states of consciousness. The problem is that the perceptions and understandings that come from these experiences don't tend to last.
Frederick Lenz
Image
When you start your meditation, picture a beautiful blue sky without any clouds in it. Feel that your body is growing lighter. Visualize that you are floating in the sky and that all tension, fatigue, worry and problems have left you.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The teacher is not a person they're a field of energy. They're a series of levels of attention. While they have a body and appear to be there, they're not.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You don't have to do anything to meditate. That's what makes it so difficult. Everybody wants to do something.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If you have power, you might be able to heal a person. You could actually get inside their cell structures and create a change.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Stress is a state of mind and if you realize that you will find that it's something you can deal with. It is my belief that stress occurs not because of the conditions of the world.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Thousands and thousands of incarnations and nothing to show for it. You must choose whether to follow the path of love or the path of attachment.
