Frederick Lenz
In one particular chapter in Ulysses, James Joyce imitates every major writing style that's been used by English and American writers over the last 700 years - starting with Beowulf and Chaucer and working his way up through the Renaissance, the Victorian era and on into the 20th century.
Frederick Lenz
People would start to follow him and they'd say: Well why should I follow the Romans? This man says I can be free and do what I want. So he had to be put out of the way quickly because he was a revolutionary.
Frederick Lenz
There is no self, yet we all exist. All phenomena are empty, yet they have Buddha nature.
Frederick Lenz
When you're humble it's like wearing a beautiful flower. It inspires others. It generates energy and power.
Frederick Lenz
You have to look at your own thought forms. Are you sitting around and thinking a lot of negative thoughts? These injure the subtle body. When you hate, when you are angry, you bring that energy through you.
Frederick Lenz
It's nice if you love a liberated person, and you should, because they love you. They're lovable. They're children playing in a very, very unusual world filled with vortexes of dancing darkness and light.
Frederick Lenz
Reincarnation is a cyclic process. There are endless levels of creation, different universes. In each one something similar is taking place, the evolution of spirit through matter.
Frederick Lenz
You could sit around and feel sorry for yourself or you can go out and do things for others.
