More quotes by Frederick Lenz
As we go within the self, we discover that all the voices of our past lives are still there. As we peel ourselves, which is a process very much like peeling an onion, we discover that there are many selves within the self.
Frederick Lenz
In the second stage we stop thought for limited periods of time.
Frederick Lenz
The world is filled with people who understand. I personally value people who don't understand. People who understand have nothing more to learn. People who don't understand have hope. Do you understand?

You can go to India and you can see gurus go into samadhi. But when they come out of samadhi, they're nasty. They're egocentric. They don't have a deep regard or understanding of what life is. It's just a little trick they can do, a one-trick pony.
Frederick Lenz

Frederick Lenz
It is necessary to have a strong focus. Work will give you that focus.

Frederick Lenz
Your very success is what's going to destroy you. The survival mechanism that you've developed is the very thing which will cause the downfall of your subtle physical body.
Frederick Lenz
Enlightened people live in very charged states of attention, with a tremendous power circuiting through them.
Frederick Lenz
When something goes wrong with the body of energy that surrounds and protects your physical body, it will later show up in your physical body. The problem always starts in the subtle physical, and then manifests in the physical.
Frederick Lenz
Humility simply means that you do a great job at everything and it isn't really a big deal.
Frederick Lenz
Transform yourself. It is not the opponent that will change, or the Frisbee. They will change in relation to your change. You must change.
Frederick Lenz
The yoga of love is for those who want an all-consuming relationship with their teacher. They see the teacher as an extension of God, of eternity - which all of us are.
Frederick Lenz
The problem is that the dictator of the tonal wants to eliminate the mystery of life.
Frederick Lenz
The teacher is not a person they're a field of energy. They're a series of levels of attention. While they have a body and appear to be there, they're not.
Frederick Lenz
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.
