Meditation is the quickest path to enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz

Your inner being already knows. It's trying to communicate with you. But it needs to shift you into a different state of mind.
Frederick Lenz

The universe is made up of vibrating, pulsing light. When our attention level drops, we don't see that. Instead we see what appears to be a solid material world.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Pain and suffering only occur in temporal time. They don't occur in the world of forever. They only occur in limited transient time, which is a state of mind.
Frederick Lenz
Image
It's a good idea to be in the physical presence of the enlightened teacher because it's not physical. You can hear the ocean from quite a ways away, but if you're standing right in front of it, it's easier.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If you are going to set out to develop mystical powers to impress your friends and do other things to your enemies, the difficulty with it is that you will not be moving towards enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There is no evil, there's no bad there's no good. These are human ideas. There's no creator, there's no creation there's no God, there's no nirvana, there's no perfection. These are ideas.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Your spiritual journey and your spiritual welfare are really dependent on two primary factors: One, your ability to meditate and two, your ability to give of yourself.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There is a still center of the universe. Within that still center are all things, all achievements, all loses, everything and nothing exist there.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If you go to a place of power, the beings are higher, magnificent beings of light. They are not from our world. They pass through it, the place where dimensions touch, where there are many worlds present.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The third stage is no thought.

Death doesn't change anything. It just gives you a new location. The physical mind dissolves. But the overriding state of mind that you die in is the state of mind that you are born into.
