The relationship between the student and teacher is ultimately important. In higher spirituality we don't study a subject as much as a person.

More quotes by Frederick Lenz
One function of the intellect is to catalog. But cataloging doesn't change anything. If we call it a rose, or by any other name, it still smells as sweet. The name doesn't really matter. It is convenient for us.
Frederick Lenz
Since everything is God and everything contains God, you see God in everything, everything is a step towards liberation.
Frederick Lenz
Ecstasy can be painful when it's intense enough, when the kundalini surges enough. The ecstasy is so complete, it's overwhelming sometimes.
Frederick Lenz
All I have to teach you are feelings, the words don't matter much. But as you listen, feel the stillness of my mind, not my mind but of mind...infinite mind.
Frederick Lenz
In advanced practice there is a sense of commitment to the study. It is happy it's never forced. It is a natural evolutionary process of an evolved being.
Frederick Lenz
Any area you slough off in your life will reflect in your meditation. Be happy when you could be depressed. Push jealous, fear, and anger out of your mind. Don't feel sorry for yourself.
Frederick Lenz
Every person I've known has had an effect on me, as have people whom I've not met in the physical in this life, but whom I've met inwardly, teachers from other eras - Sri Ramana Maharshi, Sri Ramakrishna and Lao Tse.
Frederick Lenz
Power comes from the navel center. If you meditate for an hour or so a day and you focus on that sphere, you will release a tremendous power that will enter your body. We call it the chi.
Frederick Lenz
I don't engage in brainwashing, I don't dictate forms of lifestyle, I don't perform mass marriages or even singular marriages. I don't tell people what to believe.
Frederick Lenz
To think that this is the only universe, that the physical creation is all there is, these are the dogmas of our times.
Frederick Lenz
Our life interferes, our mind, our thoughts. Meditating is not just a practice of asserting will and learning to control the mind, it is also developing control of one's life and gaining wisdom.
Frederick Lenz
In this world we see the pairs of opposites. Ultimately there are no oppositions. In the superconscious awareness there is no division.
Frederick Lenz
The tantras can be very confusing for a person who is new to Buddhism, and for several thousand years the rule was not to expose a person or a new monk to the tantras until they had practiced for many, many years.
Frederick Lenz
That is why we live in a world where there are so many wars and so much destruction. This is an arena of power.
Frederick Lenz
Unlock the power of the will. Learn balance and gain the knowledge and wisdom necessary to guide those powers, to succeed in sports and athletics.
Frederick Lenz
Care, but don't be pushy! Don't preach about enlightenment to people who don't really want to hear about it.
Frederick Lenz
Phony gurus make themselves objects of adoration and worship. Real spiritual teachers aren't interested in adoration and worship. They like respect only because they realize respect will help the student.
Frederick Lenz
Mindfulness is passive meditation. It is passive because your energy and your attention are divided between your actions and your practice, your meditation.
Frederick Lenz
Even the lucky ones, who do manage to become happy by attaining their goals, live each day in fear of losing whatever it is they may have gained.
Frederick Lenz
All those moments spent in concetration will give you a terrific strength and with that strength you will cut aside all illusions.
Frederick Lenz
