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.

More quotes by Frederick Lenz
You are caught in an empty house, in a box, in a place that is not happy. You are trapped inside you and wherever you go, there you are.
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
What we are seeking is the nexus of all possible worlds and states of mind, which is within us. The source of yin and yang is within you.
Frederick Lenz
There's a place where everything comes together and where it's all the same. That state of mind, in which all things are the same, is the state of mind of Tantric Zen.
Frederick Lenz
For a person who lives in time, differences are the most important thing because they represent your existence.
Frederick Lenz
I don't work with men who are antagonistic to the liberation of women. I do work with quite a number of men who are supportive of the enlightenment of women. Such men are rare.
Frederick Lenz
The reason why we're not happy is because we believe consciously and subconsciously that we're separate from god, eternal awareness.
Frederick Lenz
This is the process of mental analysis, sifting through the selves, sifting through your thoughts, practicing mindfulness, learning to control thought.
Frederick Lenz

Frederick Lenz
The void is ready to snatch you up like a Pac Man machine and Laskshmi is on vacation. You chant Sring - and you get her answering machine.
Frederick Lenz
A person who seeks power usually goes into other dimensional planes to find it. Then they bring that power back into this world and they use it to enhance their life.
Frederick Lenz
Mysteries are not riddles. Mysteries are places to go with your mind. You go into mysteries.
Frederick Lenz
It's very important where you live. Because where you live, the energies make it easier or more difficult to dream. In certain places dreams are very manifest and very strong. So you should always pick a place to live that's good to dream in. One of the best places to dream is by the ocean.
Frederick Lenz
The primary energy that is active in all things is kundalini. Kundalini energy is the energy of awareness. It can be used to modify awareness.
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
Over the years of much self-hate, I came to realize that whether sexuality was in my life or not, it didn't seem to matter. I just surrendered the whole thing to God.
Frederick Lenz
There is no beginning and there is no end. Nothing is final. There is no absolute. There is no highest point, nor is there a lowest point. These configurations are ideas. Ideas are primitive constructs, symbolic representations, reflections in a mirror.
Frederick Lenz
Beyond the ten thousand states of mind is the still point. It exists within them all, yet beyond them. It is not affected by them. It gives birth to them. This is the riddle.
Frederick Lenz
Self-realization is a strange term. You don't actually realize your 'self'. If anything, you go away. The caterpillar enters the cocoon of meditation: A butterfly emerges - metamorphosis.
Frederick Lenz
The soldier is willing to give their life, perhaps for someone they never even met in their country. That's a very high love.
Frederick Lenz
