The mind is like a computer. It runs programs. Most of the software has been poorly written. It is written in the language of fear.

More quotes by Frederick Lenz
An enlightened person is not in touch with all the ten thousand states of mind simultaneously always. It would be very hard to go shopping let alone drive the car.
Frederick Lenz
People want power but not wisdom. Power without wisdom is a very dangerous thing. Better to have wisdom first.
Frederick Lenz
Tantra is not for a hedonist at all. It won't work. If you're heavily attracted to sensual experiences, tantra will definitely not be of any use to you.
Frederick Lenz
If we look further, we see that we actually contain all of existence. Everyone who has ever been or will ever be, is in some way contained in our awareness. Our awareness is like the sky, it's endless.
Frederick Lenz
Just as your physical body is composed of tissue, organs, bones, and different parts, so your subtle physical body has many different parts.
Frederick Lenz
Laughing at fear is one of the best things you can do. When you are afraid, instead of just plunging into panic, laugh. The fear gets really uptight and leaves.
Frederick Lenz
Practitioners of tantra don't decide to break the rules. They are not particularly hung up on having sex or eating meat or drinking alcohol. They don't strive to do these things, nor do they strive to avoid them.
Frederick Lenz
You don't want to become so sensitive that you can't interact with people in the world. If you get to that point, you are not practicing psychic development. You are running away from the world, and you've made yourself weak.
Frederick Lenz
Please act in and through me. Please let my love increase, if it is your will. I feel that's the right thing but even if it's not the right thing, I'm willing to abide by your judgment.
Frederick Lenz
You have developed the second attention much more than you realize and you use it more than you realize as a woman. That's why I feel women can attain enlightenment more easily than men.
Frederick Lenz
After the meditation session you have to be a little bit careful. If you start to think a lot of thoughts and become very active, you can prevent some of the meditative awareness from coming into your mind.
Frederick Lenz
It doesn't pay to listen much to what human beings have to say in their evaluation of you, since they don't evaluate themselves very properly.
Frederick Lenz
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
If you want to help people, if you care, go to the cities. The city is where the pain is the greatest - and the cities are a hell of a lot of fun if you like art, movies and plays.
Frederick Lenz
Enlightenment is x-rated, honey if you haven't checked it out. It's hot, it's vivacious. You're going to take your mind and merge it with the entire cosmos.
Frederick Lenz
Sometimes we have to be hard on ourselves. We've got to get on our case, if we are being sloppy, lazy, and indulgent.
Frederick Lenz
Only when there are no impressions of others clouding our mind, can we sit and practice the glorious practice of meditation.
Frederick Lenz
You perceive yourself as being solid and physical, limited to a body. You are made up of light, endless mind. The way you see life is a limited state of mind.
Frederick Lenz
Do not be a sniveler. Do not say you can't be happy, you can't be enlightened. How do you know? It is all chaos.
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.
