I don't think there is anyone in public life today who can escape the inevitable onslaught of the media. It seeks to pry into and often grossly distort aspects of one's personal and professional life. I guess it just comes with the territory.
Frederick Lenz
Image
When something goes wrong with the body of energy that surrounds and protects your physical body, it will later show up in your physical body. The problem always starts in the subtle physical, and then manifests in the physical.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If one becomes enlightened, as I did in past incarnations, we leave the structural universes behind. We don't even have past incarnations because the form that had those incarnations has dissolved into the clear light of reality.

Image
Zen was an attempt to get back to the purest teachings of the Buddha -enlightenment without strings.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You think you are somebody and that is where the problem begins. You're really not somebody, you're everybody. You objectify yourself into thinking that you are a particular state of being.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Meditation is existence. When we meditate, all we are simply doing is letting go and allowing ourselves to dissolve back into that which we really are. We are merging with life and light.

Frederick Lenz
Image
When you see deterioration in the skin or the hair, you are having problems with the subtle body. You're taking in too much bad energy, usually from people, or you're thinking too many negative thoughts. You are pulling an energy that is not suitable for the human form.

Image
The kundalini of the supraconscious has nothing to do with the shushumna. That light comes down, from the crown center and has nothing to do with the opening. It descends and inundates.
Frederick Lenz
Image
To perfect your nature doesn't mean to have some idea of what a perfect person is and to simply be that. That doesn't work.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Ultimately, thinking is a very inefficient method of processing data.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We walk upon the grace of god. Nothing else exists except that.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Existence is perpetual motion. Galileo wondered about it, Da Vinci.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Through the study of Zen you can learn to move from lower to higher states of mind at will. Higher states of mind offer you a much more accurate picture of reality.
Frederick Lenz
Image
In the world of Buddhist mind, in the advanced states, we go beyond time, space, life, death and Newsweek.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Overcoming fear has nothing to do with abandoning common sense. We retain our common sense, but we lose that emotion that is fear.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The art of spirituality is learning to be happy in any condition and in any circumstance. This is the art of love.

Image
Power comes from the navel center. If you meditate for an hour or so a day and you focus on that sphere, you will release a tremendous power that will enter your body. We call it the chi.
Frederick Lenz

If you start picking up other people's impressions while you are meditating, then instead of clearing yourself, you are just going to completely glom yourself up to the point where there is no meditation.
