It doesn't pay to listen much to what human beings have to say in their evaluation of you, since they don't evaluate themselves very properly.
Frederick Lenz
Image
When you meditate you will be able to get in touch with that part of yourself which knows what it wants, as opposed to the levels and layers of conditioning in your mind.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Your inner being already knows. It's trying to communicate with you. But it needs to shift you into a different state of mind.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The more advanced the teacher, the better for you. The fifth degree black belt is so expert that they will understand that you're a beginner and throw you perfectly so that no harm will befall you.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Purity is also developed in action. Purity is developed when we love.

The world of time, of space and condition, pleasure and pain, birth, growth, maturation, decay and death, spinning, spinning, spinning this world, always spinning.

Pain and suffering only occur in temporal time. They don't occur in the world of forever. They only occur in limited transient time, which is a state of mind.
Frederick Lenz

Practice mediation and concentration exercises, and begin to think more about regaining your sensitivity by avoiding draining situations. Not because of fear but because of intelligence.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You start meditation as an average human being who is filled with vagueness and not much purpose or definition, who is controlled by their desires, your mind spins all over the place, your senses spin all over the place, out of control.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Even if you are focusing on a chakra, you don't want to do that for the whole period of meditation. There should be a point where you let go. Settle down. Get off the train of thought for a while.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If you are going to experience the ecstasy of enlightenment, it is not just going to be a phrase. You've got to work during meditation. So back to the navel center!
Frederick Lenz
Image
The kundalini comes in two primary forms when it comes forward from a spiritual teacher.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I think the very best thing you can do is observe what makes you stronger and what makes you weaker.
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
Suffering follows the lack of wisdom.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You've got to make a person aware of how miserable they really are and show them how happy they can be. Otherwise, why should they seek this nebulous goal called self-discovery.

Some types of nothing are more fun than other types of nothing.

Happiness is found principally in meditation.
