More quotes by Frederick Lenz
In America people have this funny idea about enlightenment and money. Money expresses a level of commitment. Studying enlightenment is like going to a university.
Frederick Lenz
Sometimes people start to meditate and they get a headache. It's because they're trying too hard. You're pulling in too much energy.
Frederick Lenz
I am humility, nothing more and nothing less. I am one blade of grass in a sea of grass. I am one wave in an endless ocean of waves. I am one glowing star in a galaxy of stars.
Frederick Lenz
You only find your Teacher once in many lifetimes. Never be afraid to see them and meditate with them. Your Teacher always understands and always forgives.
Frederick Lenz
In our world, in our pre-World War III condition, meditation is considered a cult activity and people who practice self-discovery are actually persecuted and ridiculed.
Frederick Lenz
There's a sense of productivity which cripples us terribly. We either have to be doing something worthwile or not. We are back to our little binary male-female code.
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
If I had my choice I'd hang out anywhere. I mean, it doesn't matter. It's all God it's all the same. There's only nirvana for the enlightened.
Frederick Lenz
All the manifest forms of existence are but illusions. They are momentary displays of consciousness, flashes of lightening in the sky. They are there for a moment and then they are gone.
Frederick Lenz
To meditate with full effort, produces infinity, freedom.
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
You might as well be perfect. There is really not all that much else to do here that is exciting.
Frederick Lenz
What goes on in this one little lifetime is not so important as you might like to think it is because you're in it. When you can see the larger picture, it's just a tiny breath in a succession of breaths.
Frederick Lenz
I've never met anyone who's serious about enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
If you think of others in a jealous way or if you become angry, immediately pause for a moment. It's going to pull you down and send negative energy. At that moment, pause and correct yourself.
Frederick Lenz
Believe in yourself, step one. Believe in the order, step two. Believe in the teachings, step three.
Frederick Lenz
Imagine wave after wave of joy passing through your whole body. As each wave passes through your body, feel that all worries, tensions, anxieties and problems are being washed away.
Frederick Lenz
Unlike the experience of nirvana, traveling to other dimensions will not take you beyond suffering, nor will it help you experience the limitless ecstasy of creation.
Frederick Lenz
Focus your attention on the center of your stomach, in the area of your naval. Feel that this is an area of tremendous strength.
Frederick Lenz
It's very important where you live. Because where you live, the energies make it easier or more difficult to dream. In certain places dreams are very manifest and very strong. So you should always pick a place to live that's good to dream in. One of the best places to dream is by the ocean.
Frederick Lenz
