More quotes by Frederick Lenz
The reason you study with a teacher is primarily for the empowerments, for someone who is enlightened to transfer power to you. What is most important is that the student uses that power intelligently and wisely.
Frederick Lenz
Zen was a reaction. Just as Buddha came into the world and spoke against the fall of Vedanta, so Buddhism lost its essence and became ritual. Zen was a reaction to that.
Frederick Lenz
When we dream, we create. All of life is a dream or a series of waking dreams. We dream our surroundings. We dream our friends, our relations. We dream our bodies. We dream our dreams.
Frederick Lenz
I'm not blaming men, I'm not blaming women. What's gone by has already gone by. It's history. It's done. There is no right or wrong in higher spirituality.
Frederick Lenz
Just as the DNA is a structure of double helical bonds, so your being is a structure of elements, not physical elements, but awarenesses that have come together in a ring of power.
Frederick Lenz
The world you experience, every day and night of your life, is transient. They only last for the blink of an eye, and then they dissolve back into that unknowable and formless eternity.
Frederick Lenz
In meditation, we are going back into the light. All our pain will be taken away, our frustration.
Frederick Lenz
Salvakalpa samadhi is a tremendous acceptance and liberation, but it is not complete absorption in nirvana, in that consciousness.
Frederick Lenz
Nirvana and enlightenment exist just on the other side of your sensory perceptions and your thoughts.
Frederick Lenz
Loneliness is a feeling that is created by our ego. The ego feels separate from the rest of creation. The answer to overcoming those feelings is ecstasy.
Frederick Lenz
I've never met anyone who's serious about enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
Your states of mind do not occur randomly. They occur because of vibratory and karmic patterns.
Frederick Lenz
We break off obsession by laughing at ourselves, by learning to be funny, by just seeing the joy in life and by having a terrific love for this world.
Frederick Lenz
You have to be courageous in life to allow a lightness to engage your being. It is easy to be a jerk. To be unhappy with all this weird stuff around us just seems to me to be such a waste. That's a jerk.
Frederick Lenz
The personality structure at the time of death dissolves. You will never be exactly the you you are again.
Frederick Lenz
When you start your meditation, picture a beautiful blue sky without any clouds in it. Feel that your body is growing lighter. Visualize that you are floating in the sky and that all tension, fatigue, worry and problems have left you.
Frederick Lenz
Some people use the sexual energy particularly during intercourse to take personal power from each other.
Frederick Lenz
We are many, many selves. We're not just a finite being. The selves don't necessarily speak in words. But they are you.
Frederick Lenz
There are two choices available in duality - one side or the other side. Everyting is formed from that.
Frederick Lenz
There's a resonance inside us, a sense of who we are. We're a multi-bodied traveler. We're an essence. We're a feeling, an awareness that has an ancient existence.
Frederick Lenz
