Any individual is capable of realizing the truth at any time. No tradition is necessary, no chain, no lineage. Once you have realized the truth, once you have become consciousness itself, then you go beyond all such distinctions.

More quotes by Frederick Lenz
We see a lot of people who decide to go out and teach meditation. They become so wrapped up in it that they stop progressing themselves and they really don't have that much more to teach.
Frederick Lenz
The life of meditation and religious study is absolutely no guarantee of peak moments. Most people involved in religious study and meditation are downright bored, and they're as stuck in what they do as everyone else is.
Frederick Lenz
The issue is not what you're doing with your body it's what you're doing with your mind.
Frederick Lenz
Love is something that we don't control. We have to be ourselves. You can be sexual, nonsexual, asexual, bisexual, or trisexual and it really doesn't have a lot to do with enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
You must learn to meditate and stop your thoughts. You must overcome all egotism and selfishness by serving others. You must cleanse your mind so that enlightenment will find a happy place to reside there.
Frederick Lenz
Nirvikalpa Samadhi means that you've gone off the board you've gone off the map. There is no way to describe it. You have attained liberation and are no longer bound by the cycle of existence. You just are, and yet you're not, at the same time.
Frederick Lenz
When you live a life devoid of ritual and convention, with honesty and self-effacement, then you are on the road to freedom.
Frederick Lenz
Obviously, following my convictions has come at a personal price, but they are important enough that I have been willing to endure the abuse.
Frederick Lenz
Nirvana is the center of things then there are the outer bandings of attention. The universe is a mind. At the center of its mind is nirvana.
Frederick Lenz
The life that we see on our small planet is not necessarily a great reflection of the entire universe. The people are beautiful, but they tend to destroy one another. That's not an operative principle in all dimensions.
Frederick Lenz
People are under the assumption that the kundalini just flows from the base of the spine up. That's not the case at all. Kundalini also flows downward.
Frederick Lenz
Many people excuse themselves by claiming that they don't have to do work anymore because they are beyond it. They are simply afraid of getting their hands dirty. Getting your hands dirty washes your being.
Frederick Lenz
As your power level goes down, you will become physically ill.
Frederick Lenz
We create ying and yang, yes and no, plus and minus.
Frederick Lenz
Reincarnation is an apprehension of a movement and the movement occurs in time. Without time, there is no reincarnation. Reincarnation is a reflection of time in this world.
Frederick Lenz
We could take all the pleasures that have ever been and will ever be in all the universes and add them up into one experience. If you were absorbed in nirvana, it wouldn't be noticed.
Frederick Lenz
We want to be all things, not just to gain power over things - how infantile!
Frederick Lenz
By perfecting the practices of zazen and mindfulness, by learning patience and love and by realizing the essential emptiness of all phenomena, you will discover nirvana.
Frederick Lenz
The universe is endless. Enlightenment is endless. You have only touched the outer periphery of the endless still center of perfect being.
Frederick Lenz
Some people travel to other dimensions in their astral bodies when they meditate.
