Every moment gives birth to the next moment and influences it. Getting out of that chain of perpetual being is getting off the wheel of birth and death. That is enlightenment.

More quotes by Frederick Lenz
In advanced practice there is a sense of commitment to the study. It is happy it's never forced. It is a natural evolutionary process of an evolved being.
Frederick Lenz
Most successful people find out that the attainment of their goals doesn't necessarily bring them the happiness and joy they assumed their happiness is short-lived.
Frederick Lenz
I have chosen to parody the writing styles of Carlos Castaneda, James Redfield, Richard Bach, Lynn Andrews, and several other best-selling new age authors.
Frederick Lenz
In Buddhist Yoga, we refer to our mutlilife karmic traits as samskaras. They are the internal karmic patterns that make each of us who we are.
Frederick Lenz
In America people have this funny idea about enlightenment and money. Money expresses a level of commitment. Studying enlightenment is like going to a university.
Frederick Lenz
I think everyone is equally psychic. But through the practice of meditation, you learn to make your thoughts quiet and become more aware of your innate psychic abilities.
Frederick Lenz
Fame does not make you happy. It just makes you look in the mirror a lot, worrying about how you look today for your audience.
Frederick Lenz
We are made up of nothing. There is no self. We are whatever we decide we are.
Frederick Lenz
Most persons spend their lives stuck in relatively low states of mind. In these states of mind their views of themselves and the world around them are often severely limited.
Frederick Lenz
Channeling is a practice that is very popular right now. It is very dangerous. It is a process in which you are opening yourself up to astral entities and inviting them to come into you. This is silly.
Frederick Lenz
Two people can be work at the same job, side by side. One person is working just for a paycheck. Another is working to perfect their being. Some people think that the material world will make them happy.
Frederick Lenz
Focusing on an enlightened teacher is a doorway. It is not a person. We are focusing on the light that passes through them. We are moving through them into the planes of light and eventually to nirvana.
Frederick Lenz
In my estimation it's silly to go out and spend your time aiding people if you don't have your own act together yet. So I'd rather you spend the time, get it right, and it'll all work out a lot better.
Frederick Lenz
Yoga means we go a step further back. In yoga we go to the cause. The cause of pain is not the world. The cause of pain is us.
Frederick Lenz
Just remembering what you did in previous lives doesn't mean a thing. It's nice to remember that you had higher states of mind, but that won't necessarily get you there. It might even make things painful.
Frederick Lenz
We see signs of it perhaps for 28 das or 34 days, then it goes away. Yet we are different.
Frederick Lenz
The purpose of enlightenment is certainly not the teacher, nor is it you. It doesn't have a purpose. Enlightenment simply exists.
Frederick Lenz
When you're around the aura of humanity in those cities, you can't feel anything.
Frederick Lenz
It's necessary to respect all other ways and other teachings on the subject because even though they may not make a lot of sense to us, they might to someone else. Who are we to say?
Frederick Lenz
What a man must do is realize that his continued belief in the inferiority of women is going to produce a type of karma that is going to hold him back, and already has.
