More quotes by Frederick Lenz
When you find yourself dwelling on something negative, consciously use your willpower to remove your mind from that which is negative. Move your mind into the flow of something positive.
Frederick Lenz
What is perfection anyway in the physical? It is an idea we have. When it doesn't happen we get all bent out of shape and frustrated and angry and then unhappy, we take it out on everybody.
Frederick Lenz
To be enlightened means that you really don't change, and yet you're nothing but change.
Frederick Lenz
Nothing is distinct and separate. The waves of the ocean arise and have a separate birth, crashing on the shore, but then back into the ocean they go. They never left it. There is no movement in Nirvana.
Frederick Lenz
What is gone before is gone. All you have now are the results of your actions.
Frederick Lenz
In the world of Buddhist mind, in the advanced states, we go beyond time, space, life, death and Newsweek.
Frederick Lenz
If your parents were strong in one way and weak in another, you will be strong in the same way and weak in the same way. Even though you detest the weakness in them, you will find that you will do exactly the same things because they imprinted you.
Frederick Lenz
The world you experience, every day and night of your life, is transient. They only last for the blink of an eye, and then they dissolve back into that unknowable and formless eternity.
Frederick Lenz
The social repression and ideological repression of women began with depriving them of education, political decisiveness, mobility and essentially creating sexual slavery.
Frederick Lenz
If you are doing that which is within you, what that part of you that is beyond body would like you to do, then you would not experience stress because you would be very fulfilled.
Frederick Lenz
This particular world is not really a world, it's a perception that you are having at the moment.
Frederick Lenz
It's a civil war, and Arjuna knows a lot of people who are on the opposite side of the battlefield - they've been his friends.
Frederick Lenz
The pageant of life is divided into ying and yang. They're two circles. You can follow either circle and manage to develop enough speed to move beyond this world to other worlds, dimensional realities.
Frederick Lenz
The chi is the central energy or power that we use in physical expression. When the chi is flowing properly in our lives, we can be very adept athletically.
Frederick Lenz
Once we erase ourselves, then there's no eraser. There never was anyone to erase. We've awakened from the dream and the dream has faded.
Frederick Lenz
Death is not the end of who we are. It is only a brief pause in the endless cycle of our lives. Each of us is a spirit that cannot die.
Frederick Lenz
While it is possible to create all your own energy, most people feed off the energy of others. If you could see on multiple planes of attention you would be astonished!
Frederick Lenz
You can go to India and you can see gurus go into samadhi. But when they come out of samadhi, they're nasty. They're egocentric. They don't have a deep regard or understanding of what life is. It's just a little trick they can do, a one-trick pony.
Frederick Lenz
Happiness comes from living in the moment, this moment, now, right here. If you are in obscure states of mind, you won't see what this moment is. You won't realize its beauty.
Frederick Lenz
If this is the only life, then everything assumes too great an importance. We have to get everything out of life and we overdo it.
Frederick Lenz
