More quotes by Frederick Lenz

Frederick Lenz
Some people say: There is no God because, if there was a God, God would stop all the suffering. Nonsense! God is oblivious to suffering. God is beyond suffering. That's what makes God, God, by definition.
Frederick Lenz
In high school I was drawn to the study of literature, poetry Shakespeare, contemporary fiction, drama, you name it - I read it.

Frederick Lenz
It is necessary to go through all the daily tasks and bring perfection to them, to learn to be perfect in your meditation, and to win in all your endeavors so that one day you will complete again.
Frederick Lenz
Beyond this world there are myriad worlds, thousands of inter-dimensional planes with different types of beings going through other cycles of existence. Beyond all beings is something that is eternal.
Frederick Lenz
Transmission does not have to take place physically. The student doesn't have to be sitting across from you. But it's easier if they are because the vibration of the teacher is strongest in the physical proximity of the teacher.
Frederick Lenz
This kind of love doesn't work very well, it destorys the nature of love.
Frederick Lenz
It is only in Samadhi that you'll begin to get an inkling of who you are and finally, it is only in nirvana that this perfect truth will become clear.
Frederick Lenz
If a person sets out to practice meditation in this lifetime and they have a little bit of spiritual evolution behind them and they're quite dedicated, it really is not at all an impossible task to enter into salvakalpa samadhi in this particular lifetime.
Frederick Lenz
Krishna says, fight. He says, go out in the battlefield and kill those people whom it's your job to kill.
Frederick Lenz
What we're seeking to do is internalize perception. Perception is very much involved with the senses and the mental processes and the emotional processes.
Frederick Lenz
You are a being of light composed of cells of light joined together in a matrix.
Frederick Lenz
To deal with someone from other infinites is problematic at times, to deal with a true master of all the realms of the yogas. We call them someone with the seven seals of enlightenment, meaning that their gradated perception has past through all the realms.
Frederick Lenz
The heart chakra is located in the center of your chest. Hold your right or left hand out. Now say Me and, as you do so, touch your chest. You will automatically touch your heart chakra.
