Everything is dependent on your ability to stop thoughts. The longer you can stop your thoughts in meditation, the faster you will evolve, the more power you will pick up and the more knowledgeable and balanced you will become.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Whenever you find yourself becoming angry or jealous, try to see good quality in the person. You will suddenly be thinking a higher thought and that will elevate you.
Frederick Lenz

Enlightenment is the culmination of self-knowledge, pure unadulterated knowledge. Not knowledge you can get from reading a book, it comes from perfecting your awareness, your mind.
Frederick Lenz

Frederick Lenz

A person without much power is easily influenced by others, whether they are physical or non-physical beings. Their life is easily ruined. They are blown around like a leaf in the wind.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If the world does not shine brightly, even just the physical, sensual perception after meditation, you have not meditated. You have sat and thought of things that were not real.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There is no final stage in nirvana. Nirvana is beyond definition. It is not quantifiable.
Frederick Lenz
Image
When your home is perfect, every plant in place, every piece of furniture suits the space completely - you've completed a task.
Frederick Lenz
Image
This is a place where the strong often victimize the weak.

It is better to agree with a wrong idea than to press a right idea on other people.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If you accentuate yourself, thinking or acting like you are important, then you must want to look good to someone in this world. In order to impress or sway anybody in this world, you have to be in this world yourself.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Start meditating with your eyes open, focusing as a warm-up, then focus on a chakra, then just let go and merge. Don't sit there and think or move into sleepy states of awareness, but move into high-powered states of attention.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Buddhism is simply a methodology, a way of becoming one with the part of ourselves that is happy.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There's no difference between winning and losing. They are the same type of experience. Winning and losing are sensorial, affixed to an ego, blocked in time and space and none of them ultimately make you happy very long
