More quotes by Frederick Lenz

Frederick Lenz
Only when there are no impressions of others clouding our mind, can we sit and practice the glorious practice of meditation.
Frederick Lenz
Love makes you wise. Love unites. Pain divides. Hate divides even more. Hate separates and brings us down to a very physical plane. Love elevates us to a plane of spirit.
Frederick Lenz
Words are worthless. How can you describe the other worlds?
Frederick Lenz
I don't feel that men have been wrong. I don't feel that women are wrong for using their second attention to combat sexual repression. That's just how it's been.

Frederick Lenz
Even the rich aren't often happy. Their wealth is at best only a temporary distraction. It doesn't make them immune to emotional and mental suffering, or to disease and death. They too must deal with loneliness, the deaths of loved ones and the frustrations and boredom of old age.
Frederick Lenz
I go to the movies. I absolutely love film.
Frederick Lenz

Frederick Lenz
As you engage your mind in the scriptures, your mind will become pure.
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
Some of the films that I have really enjoyed include: The Fifth Element, The Crow, Toys, Seven, Forrest Gump, The Lion King, 12 Monkeys, Doctor Zhivago, Being There, and Trainspotting.
Frederick Lenz
They'll kill you in a minute rather than deal with truth. It's more convenient because then they can forget about it and rationalize your death.
Frederick Lenz
Humility is the time that you spend in love with existence.
Frederick Lenz
Unfortunately the student often feels guilt for not living the type of life that their Teacher suggested, or they feel that they are intrinsically bad and incapable of leading a higher life.
