You're looking through the kaleidoscope of God and seeing God's face in so many ways, as friends, as strangers, passersby, country roads, jammed freeways, the cancer ward, the maternity ward - all the faces of God surround you at all times.

When you die you forget. Death is a sleep, a forgetting. You forget about your previous lifetime. The essence of your being is the same. But at death, the personality dissolves

Zen is the fastest method I know of, aside from mysticism, of dissolving the fixations people have about spiritual practice and themselves.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You identify with your self. You have a personal history. You have commitments. There are things that you want to experience and other things that you want to avoid.

Image
Paradise is not the place you go when you die. Paradise is when your mind is in a perfect state.
Frederick Lenz
Image
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.

Image
Have a healthy respect and love for yourself, but don't be taken out by your ego.

Enlightened people live in very charged states of attention, with a tremendous power circuiting through them.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Every moment gives birth to the next moment and influences it. Getting out of that chain of perpetual being is getting off the wheel of birth and death. That is enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
Image
In self-giving you must be so careful of egotism. You must be so careful when you are aiding others in their liberation not to have a sense of self.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Selfless giving is measured by how good you feel. Self giving should be obvious.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I like Miracles. They inspire me. Miracles are the fun of enlightenment. When a teacher does a miracle, and everyone sees it, they have faith in what the teacher has to say about self-discovery.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Chi is developed through meditation, through studying with one who has a great deal of it.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Even the rich aren't often happy. Their wealth is at best only a temporary distraction. It doesn't make them immune to emotional and mental suffering, or to disease and death. They too must deal with loneliness, the deaths of loved ones and the frustrations and boredom of old age.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If someone else is supposed to be in your life, they will be in your life - you can't stop them from coming if its the will of eternity.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You don't need a special task. Every task is special.

The life that we see on our small planet is not necessarily a great reflection of the entire universe. The people are beautiful, but they tend to destroy one another. That's not an operative principle in all dimensions.
