More quotes by Frederick Lenz
Human beings going to their jobs and living their lives are unconscious. They don't know what's going on. They don't know why you are born or why you die.
Frederick Lenz
Power either goes up or down. Your thoughts are the harness of power. It is necessary to think positive thoughts, not just wait for them to occur, but to introduce them.
Frederick Lenz
It is called enlightenment, nirvana, God, truth, call it what you will. There is no activity other than the eternal activities of the universe, perfect being, the awareness of all suchness, knowledge.
Frederick Lenz
A reverence for life needs to be developed, in which all things are sacred.
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
Krishna says, fight. He says, go out in the battlefield and kill those people whom it's your job to kill.
Frederick Lenz
That's my sole purpose in life is to sit here today and tell you that you can do this, in any life. You can do this in one of your past lives, in a future life, or right now. I prefer now.
Frederick Lenz
There's a place where everything comes together and where it's all the same. That state of mind, in which all things are the same, is the state of mind of Tantric Zen.
Frederick Lenz
Mystical power, as you know, has a whole different flavor to it. It's much more raucous at times it's much more poignant at times. It involves more of the emotional body.
Frederick Lenz
You are fighting against nothingness all the time by creating a series of shields that you call personality, life history, feelings, ideas, and ways of seeing.
Frederick Lenz
Our seeing is sexual initially.
Frederick Lenz
There are so many traps. There are so many opportunities. Life is a river and we take our boat and we go down it.
Frederick Lenz
Societies on this planet are based upon fear, not upon love. The strong dominate the weak.
Frederick Lenz
Unfortunately we've seen meditation insulted in a sense with the image of ritual. You have to dress a certain way, follow a certain type of lifestyle, all that sort of thing, very culty - and that, of course, has nothing to do with the practice whatsoever.
Frederick Lenz
There's a path in enlightenment called the path of negation where we intentionally throw ourselves into experiences that are extremely transient. In other words, we do all the stuff you're supposed to normally avoid to become enlightened, intentionally.
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
One thing I have seen, regardless of the method of aprehenesion of the dimensional plane one is in, is self-giving and how effective it is.
Frederick Lenz
Ecstasy can be painful when it's intense enough, when the kundalini surges enough. The ecstasy is so complete, it's overwhelming sometimes.
Frederick Lenz
Most people lead their lives like they drive their cars.
Frederick Lenz
It's up to you to avail yourself to knowledge. Knowledge doesn't need you. The idea of a compassionate God was formulated, obviously, by someone who didn't want to do any work.
Frederick Lenz
