Some people get tired of continual perception of the finite universe. They feel the perception of the universe over and over in variant forms is kind of an unhappy condition, because it doesn't last.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If you hate yourself and your desires, well, you know, God is your desires and God is your self. As long as you hate God, you'll never realize God.

I'm only here for a while, so I'd like to do what I can.

Image
The world has always been this way. I am sure in the mystery world of Egypt, ancient Atlantis, you pick a cosmos - There is always somebody on your case.

When you meditate, you take charge of your life. You bring your conscious awareness to a new high point, where the vista is beyond any horizon.

Christ didn't have to. Buddha didn't have to. They came back to teach. They came back to die, to suffer, when it was no longer necessary for them to do so.

A lot of people trash their subtle physical body with psychedelic drugs. While they do certainly give you experiences in altered levels of attention, you pay a price for it. They definitely screw up the subtle physical. Hatha Yoga can be good for that.

Image
We live inside too much. We live inside and we have square thoughts and square ideas because we live in square houses. Our lives are colored by our environments. Our attention fields are colored by it.

Image
Love is the only antidote for the insanity of this world. And the funny thing about love is that when someone loves you, it doesn't necessarily make you feel better but when you love someone else, it does.
Frederick Lenz
Image
What we're seeking to do is internalize perception. Perception is very much involved with the senses and the mental processes and the emotional processes.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Some tried to kill him there were assassination attempts. Some hated him ... this is par for the course.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I don't put much stock in powers that people have to hurt others, in sorcery and all this nonsense. There are murders and there are dictators. That is just a part of life. The intelligent use of power in yoga can assist you avoiding that side of humanity.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Meditation is a very powerful time and you are very psychic. It is most important to not allow your attention, your mind, to wander.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We fall into states of illusion - we forget all this. We get caught up in desires, frustrations, political movements, philosophies, religions, the getting of a living, the pain of a body, the pleasure of a body.
Frederick Lenz
Image
People always say, 'A good man is hard to find.' You've never heard that about women, have you?
Frederick Lenz
Image
In our world, in our pre-World War III condition, meditation is considered a cult activity and people who practice self-discovery are actually persecuted and ridiculed.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Your ego interferes, your sense of self. When you let go of the mind, the Frisbee will take its own path.
Frederick Lenz
Image
From infinite awareness, something comes forward, a sense of infinite awareness and finite awareness. That perception is the birth of a being.
Frederick Lenz

There is no continuity at all. The universe isn't any particular way. It strictly depends upon perception.
