Nothing lasts forever - except forever. That's the good news. It's a good thing that nothing lasts forever because things would get terribly boring.

Any area you slough off in your life will reflect in your meditation. Be happy when you could be depressed. Push jealous, fear, and anger out of your mind. Don't feel sorry for yourself.
Frederick Lenz
Image
When you hold positive thoughts and images in your mind, you raise your power level and you create a vibratory energy around those thoughts - those thoughts are more likely to manifest.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The integrity of the subtle body is totally important. As the subtle body wears, we get sick. That is why, eventually, the body dies - it's because something happens to the subtle body.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Most people want to make maximum money for minimum work, and that does not result in a happy life. Work does not become an active force to advance your awareness into higher states.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The sensual experiences in life are not to be avoided. This is the philosophy of Tantric Buddhism - nor are they particularly to be sought after.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Beyond matter is spirit and in spirit there is nothing but love.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There are some teachers who just perform miracles. They can manifest things from the other world into this world. They have siddha powers. They are not necessarily enlightened.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Everything goes through the cycle of birth, growth, maturation, decay and death. But all of this is an illusion. Everything we see is an illusion.
Frederick Lenz
Image
When thought stops, a doorway opens into dimensions that are pure and unassociated. They're nonbinding realities. They're non-samskaric, which simply means that they're beautiful they're ecstatic.
Frederick Lenz
Image
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
Image
There are people who will think of you in negative ways. You will feel it sometimes. It can actually be physically painful if they're somewhat powerful. You simply have to remove yourself inwardly from these individuals.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Your mind is turbulent because you're filled with desires, frustrations. You want too many things. You are afraid of too many things. It is necessary to overcome both attraction and repulsion to still the mind.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The fulfillment of desire does not necessarily make you happy because there is a satiation factor. You can get some apple pie and eat it. If this is what makes you happy, why not eat ten?
Frederick Lenz
Image
The relationship between the student and teacher is ultimately important. In higher spirituality we don't study a subject as much as a person.
Frederick Lenz
Image
People who are humble don't talk too much they listen.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The important thing to remember is to follow the path of light. As the fictional character Yoda, from Star Wars, correctly pointed out, once you start down the dark path to power, it's very difficult to leave that path.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The eternal part of our being is perfect, free, always changing, always new, and completely conscious of all things.
Frederick Lenz
Image
More men will continue to attain enlightenment than women, unless women change their use of the second attention.
Frederick Lenz
Image
How do you become enlightened? I don't know: Luck, karma, skill, friends in high places, friends in low places.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We sit in meditation and cry to God, we cry to the light, as little children, knowing God will do everything for us.
