More quotes by Frederick Lenz
A lot of energy is lost to false teachers. Wherever dependency is created, energy is lost.
Frederick Lenz
Inside you is eternity. A human being is not so simple. We're told that we're Ted or Sally or Willie or whatever and that we grow up and have experiences. That has nothing to do with what life is. You are eternity.
Frederick Lenz
Zen is the way of splitting the self again and again, untilt there is nothing left.
Frederick Lenz
When I began to play Frisbee, I would play with my friends and we used to do difficult things. We would stand in front of lines of trees that were parallel. We would spend hours throwing frisbees back and forth between these tight spots.
Frederick Lenz
You must be accommodating with your teacher. You must have a sense of humor about your teacher and the impossible things they ask you to do.
Frederick Lenz

Frederick Lenz
The directions for meditation that Sri Krishna gives are very exacting. He tells Arjuna exactly how to get past all the things that cause suffering and transient pleasure to something that is perpetual ecstasy. His directions are that exact.
Frederick Lenz
Meditation is a very powerful time and you are very psychic. It is most important to not allow your attention, your mind, to wander.
Frederick Lenz

Frederick Lenz
We prefer humility in others - and if we prefer it in others - we can soon prefer it in ourselves.
Frederick Lenz
My seminars are for you. They are moments, hours and evenings outside of time. A chance, in a highly charged environment, to meditate, find stillness, and remember who you are. A place, with others of like mind, to find and lose yourself in the transcendental light.
Frederick Lenz
Most people are completely oblivious to eternity. They look at the sky at night and they think that's eternity it is just the senses having contact in the sense world. There are other dimensions.
Frederick Lenz
We are cognizant of time, the sense that there is mutability. Time is change. It's the separation of eternity from itself. When eternity is separated from itself, we see it appear in different forms. Time is not a movement in space. Space is a movement in time.
Frederick Lenz
When the mind is not only silent, but that part of the mind that could become conscious that the mind is silent dissolves in light, then we see and feel purity. We become it, the purity of the eternal light.
Frederick Lenz
If you thrive on the city energy it is necessary to leave the city frequently and to walk in parks, to get away from people. You are more sensitive than you realize. Find a spot that makes you happy.
Frederick Lenz
The Self is infinite. The Self is eternal. You are that Self. Beyond words, thoughts, ideas, forms and belief systems. There is nothing but the Self.
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
