Frederick Lenz
Image
Whenever we just try to please ourselves, all we do is cover up another window in the little house we're stuck in.

Frederick Lenz
Image

Frederick Lenz
Image
The judgment that you pass today will only hinder a person in their spiritual evolution. All you do is say to the person, psychically: This is what you are. You're fixed. You can't change.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Without enlightenment, everything in life is harsh. Sooner or later you see everyone you love die, unless you die first, of course. This causes you to suffer.
Frederick Lenz
Image
One of the greatest mistakes that people make who pursue self-discovery is they neglect to develop their careers. There is a popular notion that those who seek enlightenment should abandon the things of this world.
