More quotes by Frederick Lenz
To run away from life and desire is impossible because you are life and you have desire. Accept that this is part of your physical condition and see that these aspects are not really indigenous to what you are.
Frederick Lenz
They get you when you're young. When you are a kid, you are conditioned. You are taught language, customs, and right and wrong. You are filled with fears. This conditioning interferes with your psychic perception.
Frederick Lenz
Real Buddhism is about meditation.
Frederick Lenz
The reason you don't get to know God is because you're afraid. You're afraid of the immensity.
Frederick Lenz
People who are advanced meditators don't worry about liberation and self-realization they instead are interested in the welfare of others and aiding others in their liberation.
Frederick Lenz
People over-focus on teachers as an excuse to avoid their own life, and that way they fail to take responsibility for themselves. They have this feeling that the teacher will just take care of them.
Frederick Lenz
In the big picture we are all eternal.
Frederick Lenz
Enlightened teachers get all sorts of assignments. Sometimes we end up in the higher astral sometimes we end up in the realm of pure spirit sometimes we end up in the desire realms. Sometimes we go down to the lower astral to teach, you don't really teach there, you just sort of are, because everybody is confused.
Frederick Lenz
The music is used as a backdrop. I take the kundalini and I play against the notes with it. I do a light show inwardly and outwardly with the vortexes of energy as you sit there. It's no big deal. It's just what I do.
Frederick Lenz
Zen is about breaking out of your ideas and experiencing life and not ideas.
Frederick Lenz
Many practitioners think there is some giant balance scale, where someone is keeping track, like Santa Claus, and that will determine your allotment of presents. That's a very exoteric understanding of reincarnation.
Frederick Lenz
How do you become enlightened? I don't know: Luck, karma, skill, friends in high places, friends in low places.
Frederick Lenz
The teaching process is lengthy because there are many, many states of mind to go through. And in each state of mind there is a different aggregate of self to be explored.
Frederick Lenz
What is there? No one can say -because there is no one there to say.
Frederick Lenz
Be enlightened for you, just for you. No one else knows or cares. They crucified Christ, you know. They don't take real well, on this planet, to the people who see things differently.
Frederick Lenz
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.
Frederick Lenz
The magic of life, of course, is not something that can be explained. Structures can only take us to the point where they begin or end. Beyond structures is the white light.
Frederick Lenz
So in the world of Enlightenment, things are just things, except they're not things. We're in nirvana. There is no debating team.
Frederick Lenz
Perfection is not a final state. It is a state of mind. There are ten thousand states of mind.
Frederick Lenz
People who work to bring about perfection see work as an extension of themselves. The point is to do a good job. That will empower you. To do a poor job will make you weaker.
Frederick Lenz
