More quotes by Frederick Lenz

Frederick Lenz
All the manifest forms of existence are but illusions. They are momentary displays of consciousness, flashes of lightening in the sky. They are there for a moment and then they are gone.
Frederick Lenz
Humility is the most important quality in the spiritual life. When it is lacking spiritual growth stops.
Frederick Lenz
To meditate with full effort, produces infinity, freedom.
Frederick Lenz
Most people want to make maximum money for minimum work, and that does not result in a happy life. Work does not become an active force to advance your awareness into higher states.
Frederick Lenz
There's a resonance inside us, a sense of who we are. We're a multi-bodied traveler. We're an essence. We're a feeling, an awareness that has an ancient existence.
Frederick Lenz
There have been people who have categorized the bands of perception in different yogic systems. It gives them pleasure to create names and orders and to make catalogs. Human beings like that.
Frederick Lenz
Human beings actually have quite a bit of willpower. They don't know too much about it, but they have quite a bit.
Frederick Lenz
Don't judge your meditations. Don't rate them. The physical mind cannot tell how well you did. As long as you are sitting there trying, something will happen.
Frederick Lenz
