Who wants to be stuck in being religious and being spiritual either? That's not freedom. You've just exchanged handcuffs for leg irons - which doesn't mean that you should avoid enlightenment.

More quotes by Frederick Lenz
Everything is part of one web, one matrix of existence, beyond discussion. This is our true self in its undifferentiated form.
Frederick Lenz
Wisdom is seeing that there are templates in the universe that you can follow. They will show you what to do and what not to do. In order to see them you have to make your mind very quiet, very still.
Frederick Lenz
The role of the teacher is to make sure that the practice is pure. By guiding the student, you make sure that they are really going into the planes of light and not fooling themselves.
Frederick Lenz
Never be bored. Energy lives off of attention. When you are bored you get drained.
Frederick Lenz
Women have very powerful second chakras, and the goal is to move that energy up and use it.
Frederick Lenz
Some of the most exalted states of consciousness I experienced were in bed with someone, alone, or with my spiritual teacher. There was never a difference for me.
Frederick Lenz
Buddhists understand that today and all other days have turned out the way they have because of karma. The interconnection of one moment with another moment, of one action with another action, is karma.
Frederick Lenz
From age to age an enlightened person comes along, one who has made friends with God. They're usually forgotten or scorned.
Frederick Lenz
There's no risk in doing a lousy meditation or not meditating at all. There's no risk in being convenient and comfortable. There's a lot of risk in the world of enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
A person who undertakes the study of Zen and learns concentration and meditation is like a gymnast. You become a gymnast of the mind.
Frederick Lenz
The reason why we're not happy is because we believe consciously and subconsciously that we're separate from god, eternal awareness.
Frederick Lenz
The ultimate intelligence of all things is your essence. Your mind is the universe. Your body is all things.
Frederick Lenz
Start meditating with your eyes open, focusing as a warm-up, then focus on a chakra, then just let go and merge. Don't sit there and think or move into sleepy states of awareness, but move into high-powered states of attention.
Frederick Lenz
Why do everything perfectly? Isn't perfection just an illusion? Tell me if it's an illusion if they don't fix your car perfectly next time you bring it in.
Frederick Lenz
In this prison camp, the Gestapo state brain-police planet Earth, what is normal is insane and what is insane is normal. But it doesn't pay to tell that to the local politicians or other organizational structures that run the place that. They didn't crucify Christ because they liked what he said.
Frederick Lenz
Love comes from ourselves, not from someone else.
Frederick Lenz
One should feel that one's friends, the people who meditate around you, who seek, are likewise pligrims on a journey. They're traveling to eternity also. You should love them. Whenever you see a good quality in them, you should repect them.
Frederick Lenz
People who work to bring about perfection see work as an extension of themselves. The point is to do a good job. That will empower you. To do a poor job will make you weaker.
Frederick Lenz
Step into the mystery of the mind. There are billions of minds, there are billions of selves. There are billions of worlds and dimensions.
Frederick Lenz
I can go shopping and pick up some Bounty Towels, the three pack, I can go home and open those up and look at them and see more infinity than in the Buddha's best meditation. If I can't do that, that means I'm wrapped by the Buddha's best meditation.
