Quote

Perhaps you're not the next Buddha. Perhaps you're not the Maitreya. Perhaps that's not your job in this incarnation. Perhaps you have to enjoy life and learn about life through whatever way that you find yourself going.

Through the practice of concentration and various techniques, we silence the mind and we enter into a flow of perfect light. We go outside of the parameters of mind and thought and experience nirvana.
Frederick Lenz
Image
It will take about a month for that awareness to be fully absorbed and modify someone's attention field. During that period of time, a person who studies with me will meditate on their own, and apply those things that they have learned to their daily lives.

Image
Tantra won't work unless you've been trapped by spirituality. You have to be trapped by spirituality before you can be liberated from it.
Frederick Lenz
Image
To meditate with full effort, produces infinity, freedom.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Learn not to be attached to other people, to certain types of experiences. Allow the flow of life to guide you wherever it is supposed to and accept with equanimity, with balance, with poise, whatever happens.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Zen doesn't believe in the reconciliation of opposites because from the point of view of Zen, there is no point of view.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The strategy of winning is gaining personal power. There are no techniques to learn that will cause you to win. You need power, balance and wisdom to win and to learn from your loses.

Image
People who ponder too much about the subject of enlightenment don't progress very fast. It is interesting to know it's there, but you can't know what it's like until you get there.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Chakras really are dimensions. We think of them as objects, but they're not really. They're dimensional access points, whereby we can enter into different levels of mind, and that happens automatically.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We sought a tribal society, to be close to each other, not to sit behind a television with our families and not see our families, not just to watch the evening news and the inane comedies designed to pacify the multitudes, but rather to explore ourselves.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Power is everywhere when you can see it and find it. It is nowhere when you can't.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The effort to lift one's self into perfect enlightenment is a profound thing. It has nothing to do with individual will. It's a refraction of the cosmos. The cosmos delights in itself.
Frederick Lenz
Image
At these crossover points, there are a lot of beings, nonphysical beings that cross over back and forth constantly.
Frederick Lenz
Image
To think that God is compassionate is a terrible mistake. To think that God is wrathful is equally stupid. God isn't emotional. You are. To superimpose your emotions on infinity is typically human.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Any area you slough off in your life will reflect in your meditation. Be happy when you could be depressed. Push jealous, fear, and anger out of your mind. Don't feel sorry for yourself.
Frederick Lenz
Image
All the manifest forms of existence are but illusions. They are momentary displays of consciousness, flashes of lightening in the sky. They are there for a moment and then they are gone.
Frederick Lenz
Image
In pranayama you don't worry about taking breaths, you focus on exhalation. If you exhale properly you will inhale. The more deeply you exhale the more deeply you will inhale.

Image
Tantra is for a person who has reached a point in their spiritual evolution where everything looks the same.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Inspire people very selectively with sincerity and with respect. You want to increase your energy? Then want, inside your heart, to inspire others. It will lift you tremendously.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If you become obsessive in spiritual practice, if you just try and try, you are not going to be happy. You are going to be obsessive.
