You become someone else when you meditate. It isn't just a little technique. If you really pursue it, you change radically - you evolve.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Flaky devotionalism, bowing and scraping and sucking up to the teacher is very phony. It is counterproductive to enlightenment and spiritual development. What is necessary is mutual respect.
Frederick Lenz
Image
People on this planet are currently preparing to blow themselves up in ultimate thermonuclear wars. We are living among beings whose state of mind is destruction.

Just being around the awareness field of the male or female imprinter, the child is imprinted.
Frederick Lenz
Image
It is only hard work that brings about results, doing things for others. Forget about your problems. Take responsibility for your life and make it into something beautiful in the midst of changing circumstances.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Happiness is everything in the whole universe. It's a state of mind. Your whole life is a state of mind. So be happy, why not?
Frederick Lenz
