Quote

Will something else. Have dreams and believe in them. They don't have to come true. They are just as true as a dream is. Life itself is a dream.

There is no deterioration and there is no creation. There are projections, moments of existence. Each moment is perfect.
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
When you look at a couch you don't really see the couch. You see the couch as perceived by a state of mind.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There wasn't a single day in which the world was created. It's created anew at every moment. The structures of eternity are completely fluid but they are bound together by the mind forming a nexus point so reality comes into being.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Psychic development is a necessary skill in leading a successful and happy life. Your intellectual processes and your senses don't give you enough information to distinguish the real from the unreal.
Frederick Lenz
Image
In the West the wise are usually thought of as leaders. In the East, the wise are very often though of as followers.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I can't give you happiness. I can show you where it is, but I can't give it to you. How can I give you what you already have? You have to get it yourself, inside your mind.
Frederick Lenz
Image
An enlightened teacher simply expresses enlightenment in their life by living. It is the student's job to gain the teachings. The teacher's job is just to be perfectly enlightened.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Some people go into tantra with the idea, sort of an intellectual approach, that now they can just do everything and stay high. That doesn't work at all.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We see that love manifested normally in the soldier, in the parent, in the lover, and in the spiritual teacher.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We break off obsession by laughing at ourselves, by learning to be funny, by just seeing the joy in life and by having a terrific love for this world.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Its funny how human beings tend to think that they're the masters of the earth never realizing that the earth, for a time, simply tolerates its tenants and then, when the mood strikes, it shifts its continents around.
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
Once we erase ourselves, then there's no eraser. There never was anyone to erase. We've awakened from the dream and the dream has faded.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Zen is the path that focuses the most upon meditation. It is almost exclusively a path of meditation.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The dreams of the self are manifold and endless and they exist in all the myriad worlds and conditions that appear to have solidity. When you're dreaming at night, something seems very real, but when you wake up the dream is gone and so is all that apparent solidity.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Self-realization doesn't imply loss, gain, even transition it's only a settling. The separate sounds on the beach, the birds, the waves, the wind. They all come together again, they blend, they harmonize.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Greed, fear, lust, hate, jealousy, these are part of reality too ... bundles of consciousness wrapped tightly, barbs on which you can injure yourself, volatile energies that serve as separations between yourself and perfect stillness.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Qualityless simply means there is no way to discuss it. There is no way to pin it down. It could be anything at any given moment since infinity is not bound even by itself, nor the words that human beings choose to try and talk around it.
Frederick Lenz

In reading, in literature and poetry, I found an artistic freedom that I didn't see at Woolworth's. I would read everything from Shakespeare to science fiction ... sometimes a book a day.
