The person who takes power will never be happy with those things they gain. They have lost their essential balance and innocence. And without innocence, nothing can further, as they say in the I Ching.

More quotes by Frederick Lenz
Psychic development is a necessary skill in leading a successful and happy life. Your intellectual processes and your senses don't give you enough information to distinguish the real from the unreal.
Frederick Lenz
Be a perpetual beginner. Always be inspired. It is that attitude of inspiration and belief that creates energy.
Frederick Lenz
To think you can just go out and help people and somehow get a better life is not reincarnation as I know it. A better life comes from being happy and inner realizations. Now if helping others adds to that, well then, it's great.
Frederick Lenz
The world is the way the world is because we think that it is so.
Frederick Lenz
Your mind is your life. It's your essence and your substance. It's the part of you that has always been and will always be. Its formations change constantly, which is what makes you always new.
Frederick Lenz

Frederick Lenz
We throw you as many as you want, in this profession, and the more you want the more we'll give you, until you're so confused that you'll just beg for us to stop. Stop what? You're the one who started it - you're doing it anyway.
Frederick Lenz
School was a strange place where they tried to make you into something.
Frederick Lenz
Selfless actions create a higher karma, which brings you into higher states of mind. When you are in higher states of mind you will see things that you never saw before.
Frederick Lenz
I think everyone is equally psychic. But through the practice of meditation, you learn to make your thoughts quiet and become more aware of your innate psychic abilities.
Frederick Lenz
If you really have humility when you love, there is only one thought: What can I do for my beloved?
Frederick Lenz
Don't become a spiritual bigot. Don't feel that just because you meditate and you are striving for enlightenment that you are in any way superior to any other person. Be even. Be easy. You will last longer on the pathway to self-discovery.
Frederick Lenz
Faithfulness, faith, all of the words that so few people live, you must live. Only then are you worthy of immortality.
Frederick Lenz
Personality is a manifestation of ego. Ego is the central sense of separateness that a person has from the rest of the universe. Personality is the form that that separateness take.
