Frederick Lenz
Image
Fear which has been embedded in your mind since you were a tot doesn't go away easily - it's conditioned in. And because we have fear, we fail to fulfill and realize our potential as human beings.
Frederick Lenz
Image
One who practices the yoga of love is like child. When the child has a problem, it cries. When it cries, someone comes and helps the child.

To know that these are people who for a moment, in glory, in light, were true warriors, and you had the chance to associate with them, to live with them, to share with them, words and moments of power - this is the nature of spiritual study.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Life should be continually brighter. We are continually seeking our own innocence. We want to recapture it for eternity. It's in there, but we lose touch with it.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You and I might define a 'soul mate' differently. For most people, a soul mate has some kind of sexual connotation.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Balance is the most important of all qualities. We don't want a little bit of rapid growth and then to stagnate. We want continual growth, continual development, which implies balance, always.
