More quotes by Frederick Lenz

Frederick Lenz
Personal power is a feeling that everybody is looking for called satisfaction. It is different from enlightenment, but you need personal power to become enlightened. Personal power is not the end of the process.

Frederick Lenz
Your own nature is pure, spotless, and pristine. Through association we drag ourselves down or we can raise ourselves up.
Frederick Lenz

Frederick Lenz
Power itself is simply a word to describe attention, awareness, which embodies all things.
Frederick Lenz
Meditation is like taking a shower. You are going to wash all the dirt off that you have picked up since your last shower and be clean.
Frederick Lenz
Where you live is important. It is where you dream. You lose or gain a tremendous amount of energy there.
Frederick Lenz
I go to the movies. I absolutely love film.
Frederick Lenz
The ashram is where everyone lives in the same building or on the same grounds. You feel that it's selfish for you to devote your life to one person. You don't just love the one, you love the many also.
Frederick Lenz
