Quote

People over-focus on teachers as an excuse to avoid their own life, and that way they fail to take responsibility for themselves. They have this feeling that the teacher will just take care of them.

Image
You reincarnate forever because you exist forever. You can't die. You can't be born, your essence that is. You are on a big wheel.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Spiritual balance is the principle that allows the mind to be still. You cannot expect the world to settle down, everything to work out, in order for you to be happy. You have to get control of your mind.
Frederick Lenz
Image
After enlightenment your body changes tremendously its very molecular structure changes just because the kundalini is always streaming through you.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The other side is beyond knowing. You cannot know what you experience on the other side, here. Wisdom is beyond the grasp of the conscious mind.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There are other times. There are other adventures. There are other dreams .
Frederick Lenz

If you ever want to study acting you should be around an enlightened person for a while, because all they do is play roles, since they no longer have a self.

When you meditate deeply, you will see beyond life and death. You will see that you can't die and you can't be reborn. You are existence itself.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The music is used as a backdrop. I take the kundalini and I play against the notes with it. I do a light show inwardly and outwardly with the vortexes of energy as you sit there. It's no big deal. It's just what I do.

At times of extreme intensity, the kundalini can become active. Suddenly a 70-year old lady, who can't lift a bag of prunes, will lift an automobile a few inches because her grandchild got stuck under it.

If you are in a state of mind in which all things are one, then you can spend your time in lingerie shops.
Frederick Lenz
Image
When you meditate with an enlightened teacher, you will feel something from them. They just dissolve completely, absorption in nirvana, where they don't even have physical contact with this world anymore.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Smile sometimes when things aren't going well, and maybe realize when they aren't going well, they are.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You are a fluid metaphor for existence. You are your own death and your own rebirth. Here is forever. It never changes. We bring perpetual oblivion until we change the world.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Reincarnation is a dance. It is a movement of life to the rhythm of the universe. Spirit and matter join together as one dancing partner. They dance and it goes on forever.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Do not be selfish and feel new people will take more of the teacher's attention and you won't get it. That's nonsense. With that attitude, you won't get it. The teacher sees that attitude and will have very little to do with you.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Instead of your ego directing you and making countless mistakes, allow yourself to be guided by the invisible principles of the universe within your action.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If your parents were strong in one way and weak in another, you will be strong in the same way and weak in the same way. Even though you detest the weakness in them, you will find that you will do exactly the same things because they imprinted you.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The ego is not harmonious with happiness and spiritual development. In the process of spiritual transformation we refine it. In the fire of love we melt the ego down.
Frederick Lenz

The first task is to discover the dharma by introspection, by constantly questioning yourself and asking yourself, What is right?
