Quote

It is implicit in the self that the self will automatically evolve if you can dissolve it. It re-patterns itself after archetypal formations that exist deep within the mind.

The fulfillment of desire does not necessarily make you happy because there is a satiation factor. You can get some apple pie and eat it. If this is what makes you happy, why not eat ten?
Frederick Lenz
Image
The more lives you have, the harder it is to change, yet the stronger you are. It's a kind of funny dichotomy.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The majority of the ten thousand states of mind cannot be discussed. It is rather a question of teaching a person to step outside the conceptual framework they have and transmitting blocks of awareness to an individual psychically.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Care, but don't be pushy! Don't preach about enlightenment to people who don't really want to hear about it.
Frederick Lenz
Image
At a certain point I left my spiritual teacher because I began to see the limitations of my teacher, who was a very powerful occultist, but who I thought was, to some extent, limiting others in their spiritual growth.

Power is the ability to translate, that is, to shift from one level of attention to another.

Every person I've known has had an effect on me, as have people whom I've not met in the physical in this life, but whom I've met inwardly, teachers from other eras - Sri Ramana Maharshi, Sri Ramakrishna and Lao Tse.

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.

Image
In Tantric Buddhism, we believe that Samsara is Nirvana. That is to say that everything in the universe is part of us. And we also are part of everything in the universe.

Image
Somehow in the middle of the L.A. trendiness, Boston conservation, New York chic and San Francisco intellectual mellow, there's a place where everything meets.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You see, that's the fun of Buddhism. We do have a wild card in the deck that can't be explained, that changes value continuously, and that's enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
Image
When we dream, we create. All of life is a dream or a series of waking dreams. We dream our surroundings. We dream our friends, our relations. We dream our bodies. We dream our dreams.
Frederick Lenz
Image
To see someone manifest all the astral lights, to be surrounded by light, to have light emanating from their body, pulsing waves of gold light - this is the miracle of enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Some people use the sexual energy particularly during intercourse to take personal power from each other.
Frederick Lenz
Image
As you engage your mind in the scriptures, your mind will become pure.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You are caught in an empty house, in a box, in a place that is not happy. You are trapped inside you and wherever you go, there you are.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Time holds the final claim check for everything we gain or attain in this lifetime. All of our possessions, along with the people we love, are only loaned to us for a very short time by eternity.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There are many paths that lead to enlightenment. There are lesser enlightenments along the way to a larger enlightenment, referred to sometimes as liberation.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You don't have to do anything to meditate. That's what makes it so difficult. Everybody wants to do something.
Frederick Lenz

Buddhists don't feel that enlightenment is particularly unusual. We feel that it's the natural state. Enlightenment simply means perceiving life directly as it is in all of its infinite, ever changing wonder, in all of its varied, myriad states of mind or as pari-nirvana, or whatever.
