Frederick Lenz
This is a place where the strong often victimize the weak.
Frederick Lenz

Frederick Lenz
Meditation is existence. When we meditate, all we are simply doing is letting go and allowing ourselves to dissolve back into that which we really are. We are merging with life and light.
Frederick Lenz
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
Your karma is the sum total of your awareness field. Your awareness field is comprised of all the experiences that you've had in this life and all other lives.
Frederick Lenz
Happiness is something that you don't postpone. If you are postponing happiness - it is something you will probably never experience much of.
Frederick Lenz
Meditation is not impractical or unrealistic, nor is it difficult to integrate with any lifestyle or age, in that it's timeless, although it occurs in time.
Frederick Lenz
If you learn to lead your life strategically and strongly, you can overcome the opposition. But running away, you never overcome anything. The pathway to enlightenment is for the warrior, the samurai.
Frederick Lenz
Review your description of the world, what it is to be a woman, and see how inadequate it is.
Frederick Lenz
Any avenue that you follow leads to light. All roads lead to Rome.
Frederick Lenz
