Frederick Lenz
There are some teachers who just perform miracles. They can manifest things from the other world into this world. They have siddha powers. They are not necessarily enlightened.
Frederick Lenz
Lao Tsu uses the anology of the tree. The old hard tree breaks and falls when the wind blows. The young tree bends and does not break. He advises us to bend and not to break.
Frederick Lenz
Practitioners of tantra don't decide to break the rules. They are not particularly hung up on having sex or eating meat or drinking alcohol. They don't strive to do these things, nor do they strive to avoid them.
Frederick Lenz
Your reason is your friend. It defends the island of your awareness. But you don't want your reason to rule everything.
Frederick Lenz
You need your reason to pass through the world and also to experience the nagual, because if you become all nagual, we'll lock you away in an institution.
Frederick Lenz
There are seven primary chakras located in the subtle physical body, the body of light and energy that is our awareness and that surrounds the physical.
Frederick Lenz

Frederick Lenz
Karma is simply the law of cause and effect in action. All moments and occurrences are caused by other moments and occurrences that preceded them in an endless, causal chain.
Frederick Lenz
Eternity, I don't know what's right or wrong, good or bad. I may be doing what's right or I may be deceiving myself. So instead, what I'm going to do is give my life to you.
Frederick Lenz
