The theory of Zen is non-competition. But that is not really true at all. People who practice Zen are very competitive. They are competing against emptiness.

More quotes by Frederick Lenz
There are certain protective forces in the universe that do watch over us, but the innocent die too.
Frederick Lenz
Becoming enlightened doesn't mean everything works your way.
Frederick Lenz
The nagual is the superconscious. It's nirvana. It's the unknown that cannot be explained or reasoned.
Frederick Lenz
If you wish to cultivate humility, then you should associate with those who are humble.
Frederick Lenz
On the path of love we don't feel we necessarily have control. In the yoga of love we feel it's only God who does everything. We can't breathe one breath without God.
Frederick Lenz
Humility means that you have the courage to accept that you are eternity itself.
Frederick Lenz
Be aware of the dark side of others that seek to interfere with our evolution. Keep distant and closed to such beings, recognizing that they are part of the universal process too, but not a part that we need to be open to at this time.
Frederick Lenz
Humility is courage, the open acceptance of your own perfection.
Frederick Lenz
The practice of mindfulness is monitoring your mind all day and all night. It's enjoyable to just remove things that make you unhappy from your mind, to clarify your emotions.
Frederick Lenz
If you wake up for a moment and look around at life, you will observe that nothing here lasts, nothing works out. There are no happy endings. All accomplishments are washed away by death or by the next moment.
Frederick Lenz
I love so and so, how can I let go of them? You don't have to. You do whatever you chose. What you think, you become. Your thoughts are strongly affected by those you are emotionally open to.
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
Meditation is the pathway to enlightenment, and I would encourage you to follow that pathway as far as you can, into ecstasy.
Frederick Lenz
Meditation is not for everybody. When you meditate you become conscious. Most people don't want to be too conscious because they are afraid of awareness, of death, and of being happy.
Frederick Lenz
Practice love and self-acceptance and you'll have an absolutely beautiful life.
Frederick Lenz
Fear which has been embedded in your mind since you were a tot doesn't go away easily - it's conditioned in. And because we have fear, we fail to fulfill and realize our potential as human beings.
Frederick Lenz
There is an art, a science to gaining power. There is a natural force or inclination in all of our beings to accumulate power. The problem that we come into is conditioning.
Frederick Lenz
When you are subjected to this light, depending on how strong the dose is, you will have two or three days in which you can make tremendous changes within your self, in the structure of your being.
Frederick Lenz
We have to push ourselves to stillness - to the natural state.
Frederick Lenz
If a spiritual teacher says something that doesn't make sense to you, you should always listen to yourself and not the teacher. A little common sense would end all cults.
Frederick Lenz
