I recommend computer science to people who practice meditation. The mental structures that are used in computer science are very similar exercises done in Buddhist monasteries.
Frederick Lenz
Try to have a more expanded sense of that which you are. Feel that you are eternity. There's only goodness. There's only light.
Frederick Lenz
Practitioners of tantra don't decide to break the rules. They are not particularly hung up on having sex or eating meat or drinking alcohol. They don't strive to do these things, nor do they strive to avoid them.
Frederick Lenz
While I had many friends as a child I aslo kept a great deal to myself. I noticed that adults were drawn to me. They would talk to me for hours at my parents' parties. Strange to find yourself at seven, dressed in pagamas with feet, listening to adults tell you their deepest secrets.

You might as well be perfect. There is really not all that much else to do here that is exciting.
Frederick Lenz
Most people abuse power. They use power to dominate others. They use power to destroy others. Ultimately when you do this, you lose it.

I had been pretty well made a prisoner by school, by society. I had been given this description of the world that I couldn't accept.
Frederick Lenz
It's suggested that enlightenment has some tremendous compassion, some driving necessity to help humanity. I don't think that's the case at all. I think humanity wishes it were the case since it's humanity that writes the various scriptures.
Frederick Lenz
There are certain protective forces in the universe that do watch over us, but the innocent die too.
Frederick Lenz
Knowledge of the Enlightenment Cycle, of the ways that inner dimensions and nirvana work, lifts you far above the transient sorrows, pains, pleasures and joys that the unenlightened masses experience.
Frederick Lenz
Many spiritual teachers have done this. They have disbanded their whole community because everyone got angry. The karma, at a certain point, has to go back to the person it's intensified and hurts them spiritually.
Frederick Lenz
A person who doesn't dress well, who doesn't spend time and attention with their physical being, has a very loose being.
Frederick Lenz
What we're seeking to do is internalize perception. Perception is very much involved with the senses and the mental processes and the emotional processes.
Frederick Lenz
The teacher has nothing to do with people who use their mental powers to block the enlightenment of others. These people lack control. What can you teach someone who lacks control?
Frederick Lenz
Tantric Zen, at first, does not appear to have a method. In Tantric Zen, you could meditate on a Brillo box or you could meditate on the clear light of reality.
Frederick Lenz
When you change your state of mind, your whole life changes, nothing remains the same. Nothing looks the same, because you have changed.
Frederick Lenz
I was sitting outside in our backyard on a summer day, I was around six, and suddenly the whole world dissolved before my eyes and I found myself in a timeless world of light.
Frederick Lenz
In meditation, we are going back into the light. All our pain will be taken away, our frustration.
Frederick Lenz
A man, as we see in this world, is chaos, but he doesn't recognize that fact so he tries to bring order into everything. Order is disorder. Order creates disorder.
Frederick Lenz
The first sexual experience is a significant imprinting of attention.
