More quotes by Frederick Lenz

Frederick Lenz
The first task is to discover the dharma by introspection, by constantly questioning yourself and asking yourself, What is right?
Frederick Lenz
There's a source, there's a perennial source from which all things come forth. We call it the Godhead, Nirvana, the Tao, enlightenment. It's big it's bright it's perfect, as are all of its children, as are we.
Frederick Lenz
Start to give more thought to the world around you. Stop exposing yourself to situations that drain your energy. You will discover through a trial and error process that you will have more energy.
Frederick Lenz
It is possible with pure willpower to force the kundalini up the shushumna, through the chakras. You will develop visions of other worlds that will not necessarily stop when you want them to. This is a condition we call insanity.
Frederick Lenz
There comes a time in life when you just buckle down and have a good time with what you're doing. It doesn't matter much what you're doing. What matters is how you do it.
Frederick Lenz
We've developed a very complex filing system for existence. We see things in terms of good or bad. We feel happiness, joy, pain, loss, guilt and remorse.
Frederick Lenz
It is one thing to teach a dynamic Oriental philosophy and religious code it is quite another to put such a discipline to the test by successfully living it in the face of ridicule.
Frederick Lenz
You have to look at your own thought forms. Are you sitting around and thinking a lot of negative thoughts? These injure the subtle body. When you hate, when you are angry, you bring that energy through you.
Frederick Lenz
Imagine for a moment that you were God. Not God as a man or woman, but God as the awareness of all life. To be that in physical form is to be an enlightened person.
Frederick Lenz
Plants can help you they have a very strong vibrational force. If you've made friends with several of them, they will come and aid you when you've reached that critical moment and you're at a crossroads of knowledge.
Frederick Lenz
It's very funny. People do not want to achieve liberation or be happy. This is the basic guideline they teach you in Spiritual Training School.
Frederick Lenz
According to Zen philosophy each human being has two minds, a finite mind and an infinite mind.
Frederick Lenz
It is best to think of karma, not so much in terms of physical action, but as waveforms of vibratory energy.
Frederick Lenz
It is more important to repeat a mantra several times with total absorption than to parrot it for hours on end.
Frederick Lenz
The absorption in nirvana is all that matters. All the strategies of your life are only there to empower you for your final assault on the impenetrable cliffs of forever.
Frederick Lenz
If it's real enlightenment...you're dealing with someone who's broken through every rule, every barrier, every do and do not, and they've reached an apex of consciousness. They've broken through all the conditioning, all the timidity. They don't buy into any program.
Frederick Lenz
The judgment that you pass today will only hinder a person in their spiritual evolution. All you do is say to the person, psychically: This is what you are. You're fixed. You can't change.
Frederick Lenz
You can increase your capacity to absorb the mystical kundalini. I have 3 or 4 students who are on the path of mysticism, they can absorb more of it.
Frederick Lenz
A lot of energy is lost to false teachers. Wherever dependency is created, energy is lost.
