More quotes by Frederick Lenz
Self-realization is not the awareness that this world is a dream, that's a part of self-realization.
Frederick Lenz
When the time comes for a change, you will find it occurring without having created it yourself. You may think that you are the doer and that you are creating the change. That's nonsense.
Frederick Lenz
I've never seen a society that thinks about sex so much and gets so little!
Frederick Lenz
We label things through value systems that we have developed. But nothing is or is not unless we feel it is that way. We give ground to reality by creating it.
Frederick Lenz
Don't be afraid. You are as alive as anything else is alive. Your right to be alive is as great as the right of anything else.
Frederick Lenz
Some teachers are very accessible. They advertise a great deal, they go out into the public. If they're advanced teachers, doubtlessly they are very inaccessible in terms of physical proximity.
Frederick Lenz
Happiness only comes when you let go of who you think you are. If you think you're wealthy and powerful and noble and truthful or horrible and demonic, whatever it may be, it's all a waste of time. Take it from the Zen Master. He knows.
Frederick Lenz
Thousands and thousands of incarnations and nothing to show for it. You must choose whether to follow the path of love or the path of attachment.
Frederick Lenz
Perpetual wakefulness doesn't mean you have all physical knowledge, that you can speak all languages, that you can fix cars...that is a storybook, Hollywood version of the enlightenment experience.
Frederick Lenz
When your home is perfect, every plant in place, every piece of furniture suits the space completely - you've completed a task.
Frederick Lenz
The teacher is transmitting pure awareness and consciousness.
Frederick Lenz
Go out and do the things you are afraid to do gradually. Gain the power to do that through meditating. You will find yourself limitless reality that knows no fear.
Frederick Lenz
Zen is the study of mind in all of its manifestations. The purpose of Zen is to be happy.
Frederick Lenz
If you are just spaced out and you have no purpose in life, you pick everything up. Everybody else's thoughts will come into your mind, everyone else's desires.
Frederick Lenz
In the world of interactive multi-media highways we are all traveling somewhere interactively and we are all shopping for something, our dreams, our hopes, our ambitions for ourselves, for those we love - these little scenarios we play out endlessly in our mind.
Frederick Lenz
A realistic recognition of the human condition is that it is corrupt beyond belief. What do you suppose would happen if the police all took a week off?
Frederick Lenz
Have lots of plants in your house. Nature and plants understand something about stillness and silence. As you interact with the green world, you will find a peace will enter your life.
Frederick Lenz
I learned from my own teachers, a long time ago in another universe, the quality of quiet fortitude that is renewed by a person's love of light.
Frederick Lenz
You may feel a sensation of floating. You may see colors, maybe no phenomena, it doesn't matter. You are absorbing power.
Frederick Lenz
None of this matters a bit. Yet, of course, it matters at that moment. So we try to be mindful of the moment but it's fleeting.
