Quote

Old Zen was very funny there was a great deal of humor and happiness. Zen today seems much drier. While there's a certain amount of humor, it seems to lack that total intensity because humor is one of the primary tools for liberation.

Karma means changing planes of reality or changing fields of attention. There will be perhaps a resulting physical action stemming from the change of these fields of attention.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We sit here on the oasis of human consciousness and the verbal plane trying to talk about something that we just have to go and see and do and feel.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Life should be continually brighter. We are continually seeking our own innocence. We want to recapture it for eternity. It's in there, but we lose touch with it.
Frederick Lenz
Image
This is the process of mental analysis, sifting through the selves, sifting through your thoughts, practicing mindfulness, learning to control thought.

Many men have deep rooted problems regarding the status of women, and during sex these problems come out. They consciously or unconsciously project anger and hate towards women they have sex with. This energy enters a woman's subtle physical body and damages it.

Women wrap men with their second attention.

If you are not as happy as you used to be, chances are you are not meditating properly. You may be trying to skip steps. You are using power incorrectly. Your motives are not pure. You don't vibrate quickly.
Frederick Lenz

Image
Self-realization is not the awareness that this world is a dream, that's a part of self-realization.
Frederick Lenz
Image
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
Image
If you just keep giving constantly, if you don't really take thought of your own welfare and your own awareness, but just give, beyond exhaustion - then your life will always be a constant progression.
Frederick Lenz
Image
It is possible to renounce everything and attain enlightenment. But most people don't want to renounce they wish to run away from responsibility and hard work.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The wisdom of samadhi is quite different. Higher level wisdom cannot be written down. It cannot be spoken. True wisdom is the knowledge of the universe that is beyond physical expression.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Sex is like any other transaction, except that it is not like any other transaction.
Frederick Lenz
Image
As you go into light for longer and longer periods, as you progress in your meditation practice, you transform, you become illumined, you overcome all limitation, all sorrow, and all pain. You learn not to be bound by desire, and eventually you transcend death itself.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You have elected to follow this path you do not know. You have elected to follow the path because eternity has elected you. You will follow it is as long as eternity holds you to it.

Image
The yoga of discrimination is only practiced once you have started to go into Samadhi.
Frederick Lenz
Image
This is the most exciting study there is. It is the only thing I know of in life that makes you feel consistently better, whether it's success or failure, whether they love you or hate you.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I observe many people who say they are meditating, but I sure don't see them meditating. They sit and touch a lot of people, places and things psychically, but they sure don't meditate.
