Quote

Enlightenment is not about being political. It is not a social club. Ashrams often turn into that, I know. Societies of enlightenment often just become cliques.

You stop growing when you stop listening.
Frederick Lenz

When you meditate you feel joy, harmony, peace, stillness, ecstasy, laughter, certainty, courage, strength, awareness and immortality. In the beginning you will feel these things vaguely, a distant knocking at your castle door.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You become someone else when you meditate. It isn't just a little technique. If you really pursue it, you change radically - you evolve.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Kundalini can be transmitted. A person who is very adept at the enlightenment process can transmit it. Whether you feel it or not, it's affecting you in a very positive way.

Image
It's as if all your past is written on the blackboard, and if we could erase it, your past would no longer exist. The way you do that - the only way you do that - is in samadhi.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Love yourself even when you don't measure up to your own expectations. You have a certain idea of what you should do and what you should be - it's only a silly idea that passes through your mind.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Enlightenment is a journey. It is a journey that is made alone. It is a journey that is made with a teacher.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I've never met anyone who's serious about enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I think it is very important to view life in terms of winning and losing until complete enlightenment has occurred.
Frederick Lenz
Image
They just teach by their presence. They don't really have a message for humanity. It's irrelevant at that point. They're just a fluid, perfect embodiment of what we call the dharmakaya or the enlightenment of nirvana .
Frederick Lenz
Image
Some people think God should in some way come to you and assist you, should answer your prayers. Why? It exists in perfect ecstasy beyond the dualistic consciousness. It's totally oblivious to you. It has no interest in your life or your death - it doesn't matter.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Happiness is everything in the whole universe. It's a state of mind. Your whole life is a state of mind. So be happy, why not?

Chakras really are dimensions. We think of them as objects, but they're not really. They're dimensional access points, whereby we can enter into different levels of mind, and that happens automatically.
