More quotes by Frederick Lenz
The kundalini is the life force it is the essential energy of existence. It is the hidden ingredient in life. It is what makes it all work.
Frederick Lenz
As you sit in this light from week to week, you will transform and grow and develop. It washes away the samskaras, the past-life tendencies. It washes away the karmic tendencies from this life.
Frederick Lenz
As long as you're too busy trying to become something that you're not, you can't see your own immortality.
Frederick Lenz
Jnana yoga is practical.
Frederick Lenz
It's suggested that enlightenment has some tremendous compassion, some driving necessity to help humanity. I don't think that's the case at all. I think humanity wishes it were the case since it's humanity that writes the various scriptures.
Frederick Lenz
I deal with two types of students. Those who have a very deep-seated knowledge of love, which are few, or those in all their lives have ignored love.
Frederick Lenz
When you do something half-heartedly, you don't get much of a result. When you do it fully, you get a great result.
Frederick Lenz
Perception is made up of bands.
Frederick Lenz
Women do not help each other attain enlightenment because in the description of the world they've been given, unlike that of men, it's every woman for herself in order to survive.
Frederick Lenz
The wheel goes round and round and round forever. Pleasure, pain, birth and death, lifetime after lifetime, it is endless. All sentient beings experience this, the endless dance of life, the lila.
Frederick Lenz
A number of Guru's feel that there is something wrong or sick about being gay. I think it really doesn't matter what your sexual preference is what matters is the quality of your love.
Frederick Lenz
Our actions and experiences will direct us. In other words, we will be guided by the inherent emptiness of the things we choose to interact with.
Frederick Lenz
Zen is Tantric Buddhism, Vajrayana is tantric Buddhism - these are various forms of it. Tantric Buddhism simply means cutting to the chase.
Frederick Lenz
Every moment gives birth to the next moment and influences it. Getting out of that chain of perpetual being is getting off the wheel of birth and death. That is enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
If you go to a higher place of power, you can gain power there and you might even encounter some beings of knowledge and light that might aid you in some way.
Frederick Lenz
Why waste your time being around people who drag you down? You don't live forever, at least in this life.
Frederick Lenz
In meditation the mind stops, thought ceases. When thought stops, the world stops. When the world stops, perception stops. When perception stops, the sense of I as a perceiver falls away.
Frederick Lenz
Knowledge comes from personal experience of truth and awareness, not from conversation.
Frederick Lenz
With the practice of meditation you can move into other states of mind, sort of ungluing the glue that binds you to a particular perceptual mode, a way of seeing life which is an illusory one.
Frederick Lenz
Get your emotions under control and your life under control. Work really hard and don't make a big deal out of yourself. Have humility. Believe in yourself. Don't get a fanatical fixation on a teacher.
