Quote

Combine meditation with career as a yoga. You will find that your practice will not be any less powerful than a person who lives in a monastery. You might even excel because practice in a monastery can get very one-sided.

The teacher is not a person they're a field of energy. They're a series of levels of attention. While they have a body and appear to be there, they're not.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Perception is, in essence, who we are. We are what we perceive. What we perceive defines who we are.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The reason a person is in a particular state of mind is primarily because of attraction and aversion. Attraction and aversion cause us to format a mental or intellectual program.

Image
I have had several offers to make the book into a film. I don't know if the message could be accurately transmitted, and so I have been somewhat hesitant in granting film rights.

There are places that are very draining. There are places where there is another dimensional crossover but to a dimension that is not powerful at all.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You are a fluid metaphor for existence. You are your own death and your own rebirth. Here is forever. It never changes. We bring perpetual oblivion until we change the world.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Your ability to still your mind through the process of meditation and inner reflection and outer change brings a stillness to the mind all the time, even in the midst of the busiest activities.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There's no way we can possibly understand anything. But we can see things, we can perceive things, and we can wonder. We can just be in a world of awe and wonder. That's the best we can do.

Keep your mind centered on that which leads to light, intensively. Accept no substitute.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Love has its own independent form and formlessness. When someone loves you be gratiful for it. If they stop loving be grateful for that. If they love another, let them love!
Frederick Lenz
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.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You are trying to pierce the veil, to break through the Frisbee so that it doesn't exist, to break through the football so it doesn't exist, and to break through your opponent so they don't exist.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Life is not dependent upon our classifications and our categories, our science. But we are. We find it interesting and helpful.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We cannot say that you are spiritually advanced if you are unkind to those around you.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Tantra and adventure are very, very connected. Perhaps the greatest enemy for one who's journeying along the spiritual path is complacency.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The other side is beyond knowing. You cannot know what you experience on the other side, here. Wisdom is beyond the grasp of the conscious mind.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Mindfulness is passive meditation. It is passive because your energy and your attention are divided between your actions and your practice, your meditation.
Frederick Lenz

Life is the power to perceive. Without perception there is no life, and what is most endemic to perception is power.
