Allow the inherent emptiness within what you are about to do direct you.
Frederick Lenz
I think I've learned more from women than anyone else, and perhaps from love. What a wonderful testing ground.
Frederick Lenz
Clothing has a great deal to do with the attitudes and energy that others direct towards you. I favor the chic, and tend to avoid the trendy. I think that it's good to be chic when possible because it is more inaccessible.
Frederick Lenz
Nirvana is the center of things then there are the outer bandings of attention. The universe is a mind. At the center of its mind is nirvana.
Frederick Lenz
The finite forms have fallen away and we have become God.
Frederick Lenz
The Buddhists believe that everything in life is random. There are patterns that are intrinsic to life. We don't know why, we just know they're there like the DNA. We have no idea.
Frederick Lenz
What is perfection anyway in the physical? It is an idea we have. When it doesn't happen we get all bent out of shape and frustrated and angry and then unhappy, we take it out on everybody.
Frederick Lenz
You need your reason to pass through the world and also to experience the nagual, because if you become all nagual, we'll lock you away in an institution.
Frederick Lenz
Most of you are predominantly nagual. You have trouble with the physical life because you have devoted more of your attention to the mysterious side of your being.
Frederick Lenz
Sight is not absolutely essential in this process, but we use sight because it is the dominant sense. It's easiest to interrupt the flow of thought in sense perception and move the mind beyond sense perception with sight.
Frederick Lenz
What a man must do is realize that his continued belief in the inferiority of women is going to produce a type of karma that is going to hold him back, and already has.
Frederick Lenz
The unlimited mind, the diamond mind of the Buddha, is your mind, if you can get in touch with it. Stop thinking so much and tap into that psychic part of your being.
Frederick Lenz
Will is guided by wisdom. Wisdom comes from introspection, looking inside yourself, probing, studying the wisdom of the teachers, the masters and bringing that into your mind.
Frederick Lenz
Woman knowing this was not right but not knowing what else to do, developed the only means to fight for their survival that they had, since their survival was dependent upon men, and that was to use sexuality to survive.
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
Manipulators are very evolved. Energy is food. Forget good and bad. Is the coyote bad and the rabbit good?
Frederick Lenz
Seeing occurs, of course, through stopping thought. Thought is the fog. When thought stops in meditation, at any point, when there's no thought, we see the other shore.
Frederick Lenz
There is wisdom in not letting anyone really know who you are or what you are like. If you define yourself, people hold you in their mind a certain way making it difficult to change.
Frederick Lenz
There is no way to measure it ... because there's no one to measure it.
Frederick Lenz
Each of the small enlightenments that a Zen practitioner has, which are known in Zen as Satori experiences, provides deeper insights into the nature of existence and helps a person prepare for complete enlightenment.
