More quotes by Frederick Lenz
Once in a while an enlightened teacher goes out into the world and spreads the dharma. They attract some attention, and it is a great spectacle to see who and why and what is drawn.
Frederick Lenz
What you focus on you become. So always focus on that which is highest, brightest, happiest and most noble of all things, enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
You're a refraction of the one light. You're a waveform of light. You're a fractal, a pattern that continuously changes.
Frederick Lenz
Everything is stuck together. People are stuck together. They can't change. Ideas are stuck together - they're irrevocable. We think that the end of the universe is as far as the telescope can see.
Frederick Lenz
A lot of people trash their subtle physical body with psychedelic drugs. While they do certainly give you experiences in altered levels of attention, you pay a price for it. They definitely screw up the subtle physical. Hatha Yoga can be good for that.
Frederick Lenz
People don't really want to be happy. They go out of their way to be miserable.

Frederick Lenz
The description of the world that most people have is very limited. They are in the fog. Once in a while a genuine insight comes through.
Frederick Lenz

Frederick Lenz
Through the practice of meditation and Buddhism, as you experience light, it immediately delights you.
Frederick Lenz
What goes on in this one little lifetime is not so important as you might like to think it is because you're in it. When you can see the larger picture, it's just a tiny breath in a succession of breaths.
Frederick Lenz
Purity is something that can be consciously developed. Expect to have impure moments, thoughts, and ideas. One day they will go away, and then there will be happiness.
Frederick Lenz
Tantra has to do with the reconciliation of opposites. All the yogas recommend that you avoid certain experiences. In tantra there is no avoidance.
Frederick Lenz
We want to know what our self is. We are the sky. Our thoughts are the birds that come and go. You can enjoy the birds and their beauty, but it is the sky that lasts.
Frederick Lenz
If you become obsessive in spiritual practice, if you just try and try, you are not going to be happy. You are going to be obsessive.
Frederick Lenz
You're an emanation of enlightenment. Enlightenment, which is the universe, has created the hallucination that is you in a form that shifts.
Frederick Lenz
In order to go beyond ideas to direct realization, it's essential to have a great deal of purity.
Frederick Lenz
It is very important that your career raises your awareness. If your career is lowering your personal power, then it has got to change.
