You can think whatever you want, you can create all the labels you choose, but the universe just is. You can come to terms with it or not. If you don't come to terms with it, we say you live in illusion.

More quotes by Frederick Lenz
It's suggested that enlightenment has some tremendous compassion, some driving necessity to help humanity. I don't think that's the case at all. I think humanity wishes it were the case since it's humanity that writes the various scriptures.
Frederick Lenz
Enlightenment is a lot like dying. You might wonder why there aren't more enlightened people. It is because they are afraid to die.
Frederick Lenz
Your life is either getting brighter from moment to moment or it's not. If it's not getting brighter, it's because there's no risk. There's no risk in thinking instead of stopping your thought. There's a lot of risk in stopping your thought.
Frederick Lenz
Consider a very natural process, menstruation, and how the association has been created in which this process is dirty, degrading.
Frederick Lenz
According to Zen Buddhist cosmology there are ten thousand different states of mind to view and understand life through.
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.

I don't think of myself as a guru but as a teacher. If one means 'guru' in the original sense a 'dispeller of darkness' then that certainly is my purpose.
Frederick Lenz
You must have tremendous power of focus to direct your life and not allow all these variant forces, different vibrations, to enter you.
Frederick Lenz
In the West when you talk about yin and yang, people normally think of yin and yang as something that's linear. But in the east we tend to think of yin and yang as circles. They're two circles that actually can lie on top of each other, yet they remain separate.
Frederick Lenz
The art of spirituality is learning to be happy in any condition and in any circumstance. This is the art of love.
Frederick Lenz
The universe is made up of vibrating, pulsing light. When our attention level drops, we don't see that. Instead we see what appears to be a solid material world.
Frederick Lenz
The sign of an advanced spiritual person is that they don't think they're an advanced spiritual person until after liberation.
Frederick Lenz
Happiness is something that you can definitely achieve. At first, it will just come for a moment or two. Then it will come for longer periods of time. Eventually you will be happy all of the time.
Frederick Lenz
If you are having problems with money, the answer isn't cutting back. The answer is to make more money.
Frederick Lenz
People who have power, who think negatively of others and seek to injure them, are practicing a kind of voodoo, a lower sorcery.
Frederick Lenz
Certain drugs provide brief excursions into altered states of consciousness. The problem is that the perceptions and understandings that come from these experiences don't tend to last.
Frederick Lenz
There are spirits in Hawaii. They're very protective and very good and they watch over these islands. I must confess, they're not entirely happy with what they see, with the way the civilization is moving. But they're patient. They've been here for a long time, and they'll be here long after the human beings have ceased to inhabit the islands.
Frederick Lenz
My god, life is beautiful! Look at the colors! if you are blind, look at the colors of your mind.
Frederick Lenz
Expect forces to interfere with you and expect to conquer them all, if you are serious about the study. Just as there are powers that interfere with those who seek enlightenment, there are forces that will help.
Frederick Lenz
Meditation is not emptiness. That is a way of trying to talk about something that is impossible to put into words. It is a world of fullness, if anything.
Frederick Lenz
