More quotes by Frederick Lenz
Most people abuse power. They use power to dominate others. They use power to destroy others. Ultimately when you do this, you lose it.
Frederick Lenz
Of course, there are the old hardcore teacher types like me who sit around and tell jokes, realizing, what's the difference anyway - it's all timeless.
Frederick Lenz
When you combine a media - bent on exploiting tabloid-type stories to boost ratings and circulation by innuendo and titillation - with unhappy or opportunistic individuals who have nothing going for them in their own lives, you get a bitter brew.
Frederick Lenz
The light is not quantifiable. You experience it in meditation when thought stops. When you go beyond the limitations of the ego, the light is waiting for you.
Frederick Lenz
The world is wonderful. It is beautiful when you are in a correct level of attention.
Frederick Lenz
Everything aids everything, because all things are a reflection of the Buddha mind, of the mind of Enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
There is a lot of opposition. You will experience it. But the joys that come from the study, more than compensate for the opposition, in my opinion. It's a personal choice.
Frederick Lenz
There are places that are very draining. There are places where there is another dimensional crossover but to a dimension that is not powerful at all.
Frederick Lenz
Sometimes there are people who only meditate with a teacher. They ride the teacher's energy. They don't really learn how to meditate. They learn how to ride the energy.
Frederick Lenz
There is only eternity. That's our real body. The stars are our blanket. Time doesn't even exist, except in our own minds.
Frederick Lenz
Power doesn't make you happy. Actually, power without knowledge and balance is problematic. Power is something that will automatically follow when you have knowledge. The two are really the same, in a certain sense.
Frederick Lenz
People don't necessarily take power from you for themselves. It just means they are operating at a lower attention level and you got pulled down by it. You are not sufficiently strong enough to be with someone and be unaffected.
Frederick Lenz
People would start to follow him and they'd say: Well why should I follow the Romans? This man says I can be free and do what I want. So he had to be put out of the way quickly because he was a revolutionary.
Frederick Lenz
Change is continuous and the aggregate of the self is constantly shifting.
Frederick Lenz
Atlantis was destroyed by the greed of its inhabitants.
Frederick Lenz
I studied with a number of different teachers. But really, I've never studied with teachers. To be honest, the only thing that's ever interested me in life is eternity. Nothing else makes any sense to me.
Frederick Lenz
Purity is very fragile when it takes physical manifestation. It is very, very strong in its original aspect.
Frederick Lenz
The more moral you pretend to be, the less moral you are the less moral you try to be, the more moral you are.
Frederick Lenz
The kundalini energy is often compared to a snake that is coiled up. Because it is coiled up it can spring very quickly. It can jump and extend itself very far.
Frederick Lenz
I was initiated as a Buddhist monk at the age of 19, but I think that initiation is simply a starting point.
