More quotes by Frederick Lenz
You must realize you are not the doer, that you are not the action.
Frederick Lenz
The balance and patience factors are much more critical in surfing than they are in snowboarding ... if you're out surfing serious waves and you wipe out, you don't land on soft snow. It's usually either very sharp coral, or you get raked across the beach gravel and sand while you're tumbling underwater.
Frederick Lenz
If you can develop a connection, what we call an inner connection with the teacher, then it is not even necessary to be in the physical presence of the teacher, although it will always be stronger.
Frederick Lenz
Meditation is the art of life. Meditation is not simply a practice. It is an experience, awareness, and a way of perceiving life.
Frederick Lenz
Enlightenment means that you're in love with all of life, with not only immortality but mortality.
Frederick Lenz
People are under the assumption that the kundalini just flows from the base of the spine up. That's not the case at all. Kundalini also flows downward.
Frederick Lenz
Only a pure heart, a completely pure heart can house eternity.
Frederick Lenz
Consider your second attention as a spiritual perceiver. Consider how you use it. You may plead innocence. You're not doing anything wrong. Don't feel that you've sinned. You have done what you had to do to survive, as did your mother, as did your grandmother.
Frederick Lenz
The music is used as a backdrop. I take the kundalini and I play against the notes with it. I do a light show inwardly and outwardly with the vortexes of energy as you sit there. It's no big deal. It's just what I do.
Frederick Lenz
See how it's a philosophy that's been handed to you by a bunch of men who were afraid. So instead, they overcompensate with hatred and violence and repression.
Frederick Lenz
Several very good friends of mine have died of AIDS. I spent a great deal of time with them when they went through that process.
Frederick Lenz
Women have allowed you to think that, which is a part of their inaccessibility in using their second attention.
Frederick Lenz
Wisdom is to see the difference between nirvana and this world, this self-reflection that the mind creates.
Frederick Lenz
You must be kind to others. You must foster a caretaker personality of gentleness and perseverance, even in the midst of adversity.
Frederick Lenz
Imagine for a moment that you were God. Not God as a man or woman, but God as the awareness of all life. To be that in physical form is to be an enlightened person.
Frederick Lenz
If you are psychic you will become much more aware of the beauty of life. If you are psychic, when you look at a rose, you will see and feel the essence of the rose.
Frederick Lenz
In the yoga of love we learn to love consciousness. Consciousness is existence. It is the very stuff of which life is composed.
Frederick Lenz
The enlightened teacher is someone who has become absorbed in eternity. While they may have a body like others, the essence of their being is light.
Frederick Lenz
Karma is not a receipt of a physical experience, because of what someone has done.
Frederick Lenz
Zen is about breaking out of your ideas and experiencing life and not ideas.
