Emotions are there to enjoy life but they are not used in self-reflection because they inhibit a proper reflection. They gunk us up.
Frederick Lenz
Image
An imbalanced association is when one or both parties become abusive and takes unfair advantage, tries to block another's enlightenment or success.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Spiritual balance is the principle that allows the mind to be still. You cannot expect the world to settle down, everything to work out, in order for you to be happy. You have to get control of your mind.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Put a smile on your face. Don't sit in the waiting room of life. Go do something, happily.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Eternity gives life to all and sustains all, transforms all on the wheel of dharma - until all attain perfection.
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
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
Your soul wants experience. It wants the world. You're a human - and your eternal. The two are the same.
Frederick Lenz
Image
A person with power has control of their emotions. A person with power can stop fear, stop depression, or they can augment a positive emotion.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Where you live is important. It is where you dream. You lose or gain a tremendous amount of energy there.
Frederick Lenz
Image
It is important to monitor your mind constantly. This is particularly important if you are studying with an enlightened teacher, because you are absorbing tremendous power from the teacher.
Frederick Lenz
Image
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
Image
The way we gain wisdom in meditation is not by explanation. If you go into the planes of light, you will come out of the meditation knowing things ... things that are inexpressible.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We don't live forever. We have a limited energy. You have to determine those things that you direct your energy towards, otherwise you get yourself in too many places and nothing succeeds.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The immortal silence is there always waiting for you and that spirit is deathless and courageous. Remember, many have trod the path that you are walking on and they succeeded. They were no better than you, no wiser.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Men are suppressing woman politically, philosophically, socially, through denying them education, equal rights, equal employment, and just by setting up a description of the world in which a woman views herself as a vessel, as someone who's only there to have children, as someone who can't succeed, even spiritually.
