The difficult opponent is the best.
Frederick Lenz
Image
People don't necessarily take power from you for themselves. It just means they are operating at a lower attention level and you got pulled down by it. You are not sufficiently strong enough to be with someone and be unaffected.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Zen was an attempt to get back to the purest teachings of the Buddha -enlightenment without strings.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Over the years of much self-hate, I came to realize that whether sexuality was in my life or not, it didn't seem to matter. I just surrendered the whole thing to God.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Tantric Zen, at first, does not appear to have a method. In Tantric Zen, you could meditate on a Brillo box or you could meditate on the clear light of reality.

Image
I can play the guitar, the dulcimer, the piano, and the drums. However, I am not a performance quality musician. Rather, I am a composer and a producer.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You can lie to yourself and fool yourself and rationalize that the choice you're making is what is right and what is true and what leads to liberation, when it's actually only the fulfillment of desire.
Frederick Lenz
Image
From the point of view of meditation, there is nothing that is not God. When we meditate, we are participating in a spiritual experience. We are seeing life is not perhaps as we thought, but a little bit different, vastly different.
Frederick Lenz
Image
In this world we see nothing but diversity. Everyone thinks separate ideas and wants to develop a separate identity. They fight wars with each other. They destroy each other's identities.
Frederick Lenz
Image
My teacher sent me all over the world to talk about meditation - Europe, all over America, Canada. I would drive thousands of miles, travel, all at my own expense, to do this.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Most enlightened people can do miracles. Some have powers, some don't. Some people who have developed powers aren't enlightened.
Frederick Lenz
Image
After the meditation session you have to be a little bit careful. If you start to think a lot of thoughts and become very active, you can prevent some of the meditative awareness from coming into your mind.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Everything is amplified in the world of attention at night. People are more open to forces. That is why human beings cluster around each other in housing developments - a group force pervades and keeps the beings out.
Frederick Lenz
Image
In the world order, if the nagual dominates and not the tonal, then we'll live in times of fear and superstition.
Frederick Lenz
Image
A mantra is a very powerful word. It vibrates like music does, only not on this plane but on other planes of reality. It creates a powerful force. It starts the kundalini moving.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The shushumna is the tube that the kundalini passes up in the subtle body, and on one side is the ida and the other side is the pingala.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We remember a few people who've been enlightened. We build churches and edifices in their name. But few people, if any, feel that they could ever be like that and if that's how they feel - that's how it will be.

Image
Power comes from doing meditation, leading a controlled life, being conservative, not wasting all your energy on drugs, alcohol and sex and other pastimes. The guideline for all experience is how you feel afterwards.
Frederick Lenz
Image
This is a world that defines everything backwards, a world in which good is called bad, brightness is called darkness, up is called down, enlightenment is called abnormal behavior and abnormal behavior is applauded as reason.

The secret of love is acceptance, acceptance of our finite self, of our life, our birth ... our death.
