There's this cave and all humanity is in it and there's this terribly bright light at the other end and everybody's afraid of it.
Frederick Lenz

Image
People want to will their self realization. They want to know what the right thing to do all the time is. There is no right thing. There's no code. There are certain basic recommendations.
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.

Image
The ecstasy and completion of absorption in God is so fantastic that you can't possibly have lost anything because all the things you've always loved and always experienced came forth from there and exist there and are always there.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The nagual is the superconscious. It's nirvana. It's the unknown that cannot be explained or reasoned.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There is really only one Zen Master ... and that's yourself.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Sexuality, for the person who practices tantra, is a marvelous way to experience illusion. Illusion is just another way of seeing things. There are no illusions because there is no self.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Then you will pick yourself up, no matter how tired you are, and go forward again and again and again, until you've reached liberation.
Frederick Lenz
Image
From my point of view, which is the point of view of no illusions, there is only winning and losing. You might as well be a winner.

Image
Meditate upon all the perfect light within your own mind! Do this repeatedly and the radiant Bodhisattvas of Wisdom and Laughter will visit you and change your karma forever!
Frederick Lenz
Image
All action is generated by desire. It is the desire to live that causes us to reincarnate.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Becoming enlightened is not special, but it's unusual.
Frederick Lenz

Happiness only comes when you let go of who you think you are. If you think you're wealthy and powerful and noble and truthful or horrible and demonic, whatever it may be, it's all a waste of time. Take it from the Zen Master. He knows.
