Quote

An enlightened teacher simply expresses enlightenment in their life by living. It is the student's job to gain the teachings. The teacher's job is just to be perfectly enlightened.

Practice love and self-acceptance and you'll have an absolutely beautiful life.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Perception is the ability to be conscious of self and that which is other than self. Without thinking about it, a distinction is made between who we are and what we perceive.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If you start picking up other people's impressions while you are meditating, then instead of clearing yourself, you are just going to completely glom yourself up to the point where there is no meditation.
Frederick Lenz
Image
What you gain in internal knowledge goes from one lifetime to another. It is not wasted. Unlike those stone edifices that will fade, your internal knowledge will stay with you from one incarnation to another.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Lao Tsu always points a finger directly to us. He says we must begin with ourselves. It's impossible to bring order into the world unless we bring order into ourselves.
Frederick Lenz
Image
A teacher is someone who has taken their mind much further than you have. They've gone into the void further. They've seen the luminous realities. No one has seen them all...but they've seen more than you have and they understand the trap of self-reflection.

When you combine a media - bent on exploiting tabloid-type stories to boost ratings and circulation by innuendo and titillation - with unhappy or opportunistic individuals who have nothing going for them in their own lives, you get a bitter brew.

Image
In my estimation it's silly to go out and spend your time aiding people if you don't have your own act together yet. So I'd rather you spend the time, get it right, and it'll all work out a lot better.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You and I are both life. There's just the experience of every moment. We like to call them moments. There isn't really such a thing. There's just is-ness there's just eternity.
Frederick Lenz
Image
A man, as we see in this world, is chaos, but he doesn't recognize that fact so he tries to bring order into everything. Order is disorder. Order creates disorder.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Those who are already adept at some disciplines of the body will find that the study of Zen and meditation will give you much more control than you now have.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There is an art, a science to gaining power. There is a natural force or inclination in all of our beings to accumulate power. The problem that we come into is conditioning.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If you can't think of an enlightened person positively, don't think of them at all.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The planes of consciousness are correlated to what we call the chakras, which are located along the shushumna.
Frederick Lenz
Image
It's either good, bad or somewhere in between. It's either ying, yang or it's a combination. You're either male, female or somewhere in between. You've got to be somewhere on the map.
Frederick Lenz
Image
When you change your state of mind, your whole life changes, nothing remains the same. Nothing looks the same, because you have changed.

Personal power is a feeling, like life.

Image
A critical part of Tantric Buddhism is a process of turning of the activities and experiences in your daily life into meditation.

I think to be in a monastery or an ashram is not always the answer because we don't fight, we kick back. We don't listen to Sri Krishna.
