More quotes by Frederick Lenz
All those moments spent in concetration will give you a terrific strength and with that strength you will cut aside all illusions.
Frederick Lenz
If you're a sniveler, a whiner, a complainer, you will never be happy. We all have that side. Get a little stoical and just take the pain.
Frederick Lenz
We seek to unify ourselves with the endless light of truth, of God, of nirvana. We recognize the infinite playing through all beings and all forms, but we only have to concern ourselves with ourselves.
Frederick Lenz
A mantra is a thought. Use a mantra to help you still your mind initially and then move into silent meditation.
Frederick Lenz
This is Zen, and in Zen, as we all know ... anything goes!
Frederick Lenz
When I sit with my students and meditate with them, I channel the kundalini directly into them. I bring them to plane after plane of consciousness. What they would do in 100 years of meditation, I can do in an hour with them.
Frederick Lenz
Don't become a slave to success or failure, family, friends, possessions. If these things come to you in life, enjoy them, but fix your consciousness on that which does not change.
Frederick Lenz
You can lie to yourself and fool yourself and rationalize that the choice you're making is what is right and what is true and what leads to liberation, when it's actually only the fulfillment of desire.
Frederick Lenz
If you try to pull too much power through too soon, you will injure yourself.
Frederick Lenz
A good warrior, a seventh or eighth degree black-belt, will tell you there is no victory. It doesn't make you more powerful to win. It's just what you do. It's an expression of your personal power level.
Frederick Lenz
In the creative arts you draw a special power. The discipline required is awesome to be an actor or an actress, to be really good, not just another one waiting tables.
Frederick Lenz
When you become empowered everyone becomes interested in you.
Frederick Lenz
There are seven primary chakras located in the subtle physical body, the body of light and energy that is our awareness and that surrounds the physical.
Frederick Lenz
Throughout the day remind yourself that you are moving through eternity. Be focused. Be centered. Be in the now. Know what is going on in the world. Read a newspaper once in a while.
Frederick Lenz
For years and years you enter into samadhi every day in order to attain liberation. Eternity fashions a new self which you find yourself with when you come out of samadhi. Each time you come out a little less, you might say, or your real self comes out a little more
Frederick Lenz
The Buddhist mindset seeks to eliminate the self. That is to say, what we want to experience is life, not self. When there's less self and more life, we're very content, and when there's more self and less life we're quite unhappy.
Frederick Lenz
The important thing to remember is to follow the path of light. As the fictional character Yoda, from Star Wars, correctly pointed out, once you start down the dark path to power, it's very difficult to leave that path.
Frederick Lenz
Transform yourself. It is not the opponent that will change, or the Frisbee. They will change in relation to your change. You must change.
Frederick Lenz
The mantra is a very preliminary exercise for the student to begin to grasp a sense of focus. When they are used by persons who have reached very high levels of attention, they can open up doorways to other worlds.
Frederick Lenz
All action is generated by desire. It is the desire to live that causes us to reincarnate.
