We label things through value systems that we have developed. But nothing is or is not unless we feel it is that way. We give ground to reality by creating it.

More quotes by Frederick Lenz
It is only when you have become that true Self consciously, when all these illusions have fallen away, that you will be perfectly free and perfectly happy.
Frederick Lenz
If you ever care about things, that means they have power over you.
Frederick Lenz
As you pass through bhakti yoga, as you pass through love, you're elated. You're fulfilled and you're joyous.
Frederick Lenz
Focusing on an enlightened teacher is a doorway. It is not a person. We are focusing on the light that passes through them. We are moving through them into the planes of light and eventually to nirvana.
Frederick Lenz
There are so many traps. There are so many opportunities. Life is a river and we take our boat and we go down it.
Frederick Lenz
Let's say you dissolve and become infinite light. There is this sense of being light even though the mind is not thinking it, one feels it, which indicates that one is still there - at least half of one.
Frederick Lenz
If I had my choice I'd hang out anywhere. I mean, it doesn't matter. It's all God it's all the same. There's only nirvana for the enlightened.
Frederick Lenz
There are special places on our planet, places of power, healing and renewal, places where the mind-body connection is enhanced and that enable us to get back in touch with our deepest innermost feelings.
Frederick Lenz
Buddhists don't feel that enlightenment is particularly unusual. We feel that it's the natural state. Enlightenment simply means perceiving life directly as it is in all of its infinite, ever changing wonder, in all of its varied, myriad states of mind or as pari-nirvana, or whatever.
Frederick Lenz
We have developed psychic powers in other lives. Now we have many problems because of it, many voices in the mind due to this crowded earth.
Frederick Lenz
Who has that absolute trust, to fling yourself into mortality, to let it do with you as it will, with all the permutations and possibilities of as it will, be it horror or ecstasy or boredom?
Frederick Lenz
Unconscious of the existence of Tao, beings live supposing themselves to be separate from the universal intelligence, supposing themselves to be powerful or to be weak, thinking that they live their lives and die their deaths.
Frederick Lenz
As you pass through this life, have you done all that you really wish to for others?
Frederick Lenz
How do we find a way out? By realizing that there's no place to go, that there's no way out, that there's no way in. All that exists is the Self.
Frederick Lenz
Unfortunately we've seen meditation insulted in a sense with the image of ritual. You have to dress a certain way, follow a certain type of lifestyle, all that sort of thing, very culty - and that, of course, has nothing to do with the practice whatsoever.
Frederick Lenz
Be the exceptional being who separates themselves from the herd and the fate of the herd.
Frederick Lenz
A part of them has grown very attached to a certain way of life.
Frederick Lenz
Nirvana has nothing do with any of this. None of this is there.
Frederick Lenz
There are the samskaras, the tendencies from your other lifetimes, ways of seeing, habits that are so strong, they affect you now. They are the operative situations in your life that are created by karma.
Frederick Lenz
An advanced way to meditate, of course, is to focus on your teacher. If you have a spiritual teacher and you focus on them during mediation, then you access the light that flows through them.
