Get your emotions under control and your life under control. Work really hard and don't make a big deal out of yourself. Have humility. Believe in yourself. Don't get a fanatical fixation on a teacher.

Frederick Lenz
While people who are enlightened are worthy of respect, to put them on a pedestal is a mistake. To undervalue them is also a mistake.

Frederick Lenz
Learn how to focus - that creates a lot of power. Focus on a candle flame for 15 minutes or a pretty colored rock, or one point, or a chakra.
Frederick Lenz

Frederick Lenz
A person is made up of awarenesses. All the awarenesses that have ever been our will ever be exist like barges floating in the ocean.
Frederick Lenz
Enlightenment is part of everything and so our minds have to be very big to encompass all things, to understand all things - To see the tao in a grape, the act of sexuality, meditation, work, play, taking a shower, brushing your teeth, being sick and hurting.
Frederick Lenz
The kundalini is so strong you must have a strong phsyical body.
Frederick Lenz
One should never become devoted to a teacher, any more than one should become devoted to a statue of a god. There is only one thing to be devoted to, and that is your mind.
Frederick Lenz
Imagine a vast ocean. Feel that you are part of that ocean. Imagine that each wave in the ocean is slowly moving through you. Feel that each wave is a wave of joy.
Frederick Lenz
To assume that wealth or sexuality or the usage of power, any of these things are not void in nature, gives them a reality they don't actually have.
Frederick Lenz
There is no self, yet we all exist. All phenomena are empty, yet they have Buddha nature.
Frederick Lenz
You don't need to be recluse and stay away from people. But you have to set aside a lot of time for stillness. That is the only place there is real fulfillment. You need to slow it down.
Frederick Lenz
Our actions and experiences will direct us. In other words, we will be guided by the inherent emptiness of the things we choose to interact with.
