More quotes by Frederick Lenz
There's a path in enlightenment called the path of negation where we intentionally throw ourselves into experiences that are extremely transient. In other words, we do all the stuff you're supposed to normally avoid to become enlightened, intentionally.
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
In Buddhism what we seek to do is change ourselves into someone who's beautiful to be.
Frederick Lenz
Nirvana and enlightenment exist just on the other side of your sensory perceptions and your thoughts.
Frederick Lenz
Purity is also developed in action. Purity is developed when we love.
Frederick Lenz
Are you still carrying everyone who's insulted you, injured you or interfered with you? That's a lot of weight. I'd let it go, personally, and just move on and forget. Be in the moment. Don't even notice.
Frederick Lenz
The practice of mindfulness is monitoring your mind all day and all night. It's enjoyable to just remove things that make you unhappy from your mind, to clarify your emotions.
Frederick Lenz
Enlightened teachers are not logical. They don't function from levels that are understandable to the human mind. They're not religious. Religions form around them, usually after they've died.
Frederick Lenz
It is your causal body that is the real you. At the end of each incarnation, it carries the knowledge and karmic patterns of that lifetime, in addition to all of your other previous lifetimes, into your next lifetime.
Frederick Lenz
The ego is a false perception of self. It's an idea, a transitory identity that we've picked up.
Frederick Lenz
I don't put much stock in powers that people have to hurt others, in sorcery and all this nonsense. There are murders and there are dictators. That is just a part of life. The intelligent use of power in yoga can assist you avoiding that side of humanity.
Frederick Lenz
If you want to be liberated, if you choose to be what I am, then you've chosen freedom. You can do this.
Frederick Lenz
The teaching process is lengthy because there are many, many states of mind to go through. And in each state of mind there is a different aggregate of self to be explored.
Frederick Lenz
The sign of an advanced spiritual person is that they don't think they're an advanced spiritual person until after liberation.
Frederick Lenz
When we erase perception, then we erase that which perceives perception. The universe dissolves and we see that it was never real to begin with.
Frederick Lenz
Samadhi is not going to take away your humanity. It will give it to you. You will become more cosmopolitan, more conscious, and more infinite.
Frederick Lenz
You stand on the edge of eternity, with a vista that is so incredible, so powerful, so perfect that it's overwhelming. You are so overwhelmed - you no longer exist.
Frederick Lenz
To love is to be balanced, to extend one's self beyond the sense of self.
Frederick Lenz
Awakening the mystical kundalini prematurely is dangerous, because unless you have refined your being, you'll get all screwed up, entities, weird powers ... strange things. That is why I don't teach anyone how to open up the chakras.
Frederick Lenz
If you go too far, it'll blow your mind. I mean it's strong out there. If you go out too far beyond the bounds of attention, there are things in the universe, in the universes of mind, in the inner worlds, it's best sometimes not to deal with unless you're very, very far along.
