If your nature is infinite awareness trapped in a body, suddenly there's a lack of happiness, a lack of freedom. No matter what you get you'll never be happy, because these are all trinkets.

More quotes by Frederick Lenz
To love is to be balanced, to extend one's self beyond the sense of self.
Frederick Lenz
Feel eternity around you. Not as an idea, not as a nice intellectualization, but to really feel it not to be some religious fanatic who's strung out on some weird idea of salvation to the exclusion of common sense.
Frederick Lenz
Eternity, I don't know what's right or wrong, good or bad. I may be doing what's right or I may be deceiving myself. So instead, what I'm going to do is give my life to you.
Frederick Lenz
Never expect anything from a particular meditation. Once you have gotten started, different methods get you into the stream, let the meditation take you wherever it would like to.
Frederick Lenz
Say, for example, you develop the ability to make parking meters disappear. It's probably easier to put a quarter in it. That would be the wisdom on the subject.
Frederick Lenz
The throat chakra is the center that is aesthetic. It gives an appreciation of beauty.
Frederick Lenz
In meditation, we are going back into the light. All our pain will be taken away, our frustration.
Frederick Lenz
If you are afraid of someone, you immediately give them an advantage and give them entry to your awareness field.
Frederick Lenz
Ideally, you would live in an area that is not necessarily in the middle of the country, out in the woods, because you can isolate yourself there and get stuck in your own thoughts.
Frederick Lenz
The final result of all life is your awareness. Your awareness is existence.
Frederick Lenz
I meet people who neglect career. Their lives aren't centered at all. They don't have much money. They have this spaced-out look in their eyes. Their chances for enlightenment are very small, unless they change the way they live.
Frederick Lenz
Life is a series of dreams, a series of interlocking awarenesses.
Frederick Lenz
The description of the world that most people have is very limited. They are in the fog. Once in a while a genuine insight comes through.
Frederick Lenz
Read books that expand you, that are bright. See films, plays, art forms that elevate your consciousness, that bring you into a sense of how beautiful this world is, how beautiful other worlds are, how beautiful nirvana, the transcendental is.
Frederick Lenz
There is no self, yet we all exist. All phenomena are empty, yet they have Buddha nature.
Frederick Lenz
There are monasteries in Japan where they teach Zen with rules, more rules than you can imagine, and you might feel comfortable with that. I don't teach that type of Zen.
Frederick Lenz
Krishna says meditate and you'll see the various ephemeral worlds, the various ephemeral beings, all of them going through the same thing some are rich, some are poor, some are more knowledgeable, some are less knowledgeable - in countless myriad universes, forever.
Frederick Lenz
We forget about the space between the stars, the pure and perfect space that's also the eye of God. To penetrate the mystery is to become the mystery to penetrate infinity is to become infinity to penetrate light is to become light.
Frederick Lenz
We erase ourselves we go away. But we don't really go away, and we don't really erase ourselves, since we were never there to begin with. We weren't there to begin with in that what we are, or conceive of ourselves as, is a perception.
Frederick Lenz
There is a difference between willing and forcing. Willing something simply means you are not being lazy. Forcing something means you are trying to do something inappropriate or in an inappropriate way.
Frederick Lenz
