Quote

This study is not for the amateur. It's not for the dilettante. It's not for the cult follower. It's not for someone who wants everything done for them. It's not for the one who just wants to stare with that fixed dog-like devotion towards the teacher.

How do you become enlightened? Have fun, meditate, don't take yourself too seriously, brush between incarnations and have a good teacher.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If we immerse ourselves in the ultimate good, we will have this silly smile on our face or perhaps just inside our hearts. That is what illumination is.
Frederick Lenz
Image
People focus on things that vibrate very slowly during meditation and because they are so open they make themselves really sick, psychically.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Energy is food. Most people on earth feed on each other's energy, all of the time, seven days a week. The more energy you have, the more interested parties there will be in having lunch.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If you are with a fully enlightened being, a jivan mukta, liberated soul, the quality of light is so clear, that you don't really know that it is there until later.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Love can be used to drain people. Through eye contact people send a cord out to drain you long distance. Through sexual manipulation, anyone who can make you like them can drain you.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You may not need a teacher or you may be drawn to one - everything is individual. But the main thing you need to do is meditate and learn to stop your thoughts and enter into the ocean of infinite awareness. You will be directed from there.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Enlightenment requires discipline, balance, knowledge, power, happiness and a sense of responsibility and sacrifice, being able to do things with your life that you would not have done otherwise.
Frederick Lenz
Image
It's unfortunate that we see a great many women settling. They think that simply because they have gotten the right to vote, own property and have gained some simple freedoms that the battle for women's suffrage is over.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The second stage of meditation begins when you can successfully stop thought for long periods of time. At this point you move beyond the awareness of this world.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You are happiest when you are most humble. You are most miserable when you are egotistical.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If one thinks of an enlightened person in a negative way, as it hits their aura, it returns very strongly.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I go to the movies. I absolutely love film.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There is a definite way to do this. There is a training program that you will go through and it's delightful. It's absolutely beautiful.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We see an enlightened teacher to gain a sense of humor, to learn balance and proportion and of course to learn wisdom.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You have all died many times before and none of you look the worse for it.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Can you control your anger, lust, frustrations, and jealousies? Those are the only people worthy of the higher teachings. By worthy, I mean that they are the only ones capable of it.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Each day when you meditate, you should devote the first few minutes of your meditation to concentration. This will develop the power of the intellect.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Most people are operating out of repetition. If you come to work or school each day with the same mind-state, you probably can't get more out of it than you did yesterday.

Pain and frustration vanish in the sunlight of your smile.
