You are a being of light composed of cells of light joined together in a matrix.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The kundalini of the supraconscious has nothing to do with the shushumna. That light comes down, from the crown center and has nothing to do with the opening. It descends and inundates.

Image
Many sections are taken up with political discussions and how the way of the ruler, the merchant, the householder, and the army interact with the Tao.

Image
I saw Forrest Gump several times. I personally thought it was Tom Hanks' greatest role and I think it was one of the most eloquent love stories of our time.

Image
You're thinking that you shouldn't have sex because you're celibate. So you just keep thinking about sex instead of enlightenment.

Image
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
Image
Wisdom is seeing that there are templates in the universe that you can follow. They will show you what to do and what not to do. In order to see them you have to make your mind very quiet, very still.

Occasionally, in each age and in different lands, a Buddha is born, that is to say, an enlightened person...they re-codify the ways, the practices, they make changes that are just intelligent changes that adapt to a new century, a new culture.

Image
A man, as we see in this world, is chaos, but he doesn't recognize that fact so he tries to bring order into everything. Order is disorder. Order creates disorder.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Everybody deals with stress differently. Some people drink, some people use drugs, some people watch TV. I have always found that extreme athletics chills me out and leaves me in a very centered place.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If one becomes enlightened, as I did in past incarnations, we leave the structural universes behind. We don't even have past incarnations because the form that had those incarnations has dissolved into the clear light of reality.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The self plays among the waves of existence. It surfaces, it comes up for a while, and then it disappears again.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I love people who make mistakes. That's why I'm in the teaching business. I love people who make mistakes because I enjoy watching them learn and helping them, assisting them. I find it a beautiful process.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Don't focus so much on your relationships. Have fun with them. Or if you don't have them, you don't want them, have fun with that.
Frederick Lenz
Image
In the West, we think of sports and athletics as individual achievement, the thrill of victory, the agony of defeat it all revolves around the ego. This has nothing to do with the Zen of sports and athletics.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You exist forever. You've always existed and you'll always exist. You move in and out of bodies like some people in Los Angeles move in and out of houses, every other week, every other lifetime.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The abuse of power manifests with phony spiritual teachers and phony gurus who tell you how to run your life and what to wear and what to eat, all that sort of stuff. They abuse. People don't realize that, listen to them and ruin their lives.
Frederick Lenz
Image
It's up to you to avail yourself to knowledge. Knowledge doesn't need you. The idea of a compassionate God was formulated, obviously, by someone who didn't want to do any work.
Frederick Lenz
Image
In meditation we get a sense of the countless selves within ourselves, the different forms they take. Those that don't seem positive or helpful we push aside. Those that seem progressive we enjoy.
Frederick Lenz
Image
From infinite awareness, something comes forward, a sense of infinite awareness and finite awareness. That perception is the birth of a being.
