This particular world is not really a world, it's a perception that you are having at the moment.
Frederick Lenz

The universe is made up of an endless ocean of life itself. It is an endless ocean of itself. And for a time it binds itself together in particularized forms. Those forms have perception and they perceive themselves as being separate.

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.

Image
How can you possibly overcome your fears, doubts, worries and other problems? You can't. You simply don't have the capacity. Fortunately, the infinite can do all of these things for you. How? Because it is lacking in nothing.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If a spiritual being is naive to the lower aspects of the world, they usually are killed or die young. Did Jesus really know which of the twelve would betray him? I doubt it.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There are certain areas that you can move to on the earth that will empower you and there are certain areas that can drain you.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Self-discovery is realistic. It's not built on ideas and philosophies. It's what works. Philosophies are nice if you like philosophies. But self-discovery is predicated on something that really brings you into enlightened states of mind.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Each day try and go through the day with an attitude of being a servant to the world. You'll benefit the most - and the way will be joyous.

Today in the west the word 'guru' has come to mean someone who leads a cult, someone who deprives others of their intellectual or spiritual freedom and rips them off financially.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Certainly, I am aware that there have been a number of articles written about me and television shows in which I have been featured and referred to as a cult leader.

Image
So, those who hate, those who are violent in nature, live in a world of hate and fear and violence inside themselves, inside their minds, inside their awareness.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Only until you rise above the use of the second attention for manipulation that you can enter into a consciousness in which there is enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Humility feels that there is someone, somewhere who can do anything I can do better - except one thing: no one can be better at being me.
