Celibacy doesn't make you enlightened, otherwise every nun or priest in Buddhism or Christianity would be enlightened. People who don't date and can't get any action would be enlightened.

More quotes by Frederick Lenz
There have been people who have categorized the bands of perception in different yogic systems. It gives them pleasure to create names and orders and to make catalogs. Human beings like that.
Frederick Lenz
Sometimes when you are with an enlightened teacher, you will feel both pleasant and unpleasant things magnified. That happens when you meditate with someone who goes into very strong states of altered consciousness.
Frederick Lenz
My teacher knew that I always had a girlfriend. For some reason, he never said anything to me about it.
Frederick Lenz
Even enlightened people think of themselves as beginners. They probably think of themselves as beginners more than others do - perpetual beginners who begin again each moment because their subject is endless.
Frederick Lenz
An enlightened person lives in the world, passes through the ten thousand states of mind, but they are not bound by them. They can go beyond perception.
Frederick Lenz
A good warrior, a seventh or eighth degree black-belt, will tell you there is no victory. It doesn't make you more powerful to win. It's just what you do. It's an expression of your personal power level.
Frederick Lenz
You can't die. Bodies come and go but your spirit is eternal. You're the stuff that life is.
Frederick Lenz
Reincarnation is an apprehension of a movement and the movement occurs in time. Without time, there is no reincarnation. Reincarnation is a reflection of time in this world.
Frederick Lenz
Neither is detrimental, but the mystical kundalini is a bit more raucous.
Frederick Lenz
The wisdom of samadhi is quite different. Higher level wisdom cannot be written down. It cannot be spoken. True wisdom is the knowledge of the universe that is beyond physical expression.
Frederick Lenz
The Buddha taught three cycles of teachings. His first cycle of teachings cover the basics, the prerequisites. This would include the Dharmapada.
Frederick Lenz
After the meditation session you have to be a little bit careful. If you start to think a lot of thoughts and become very active, you can prevent some of the meditative awareness from coming into your mind.
Frederick Lenz
I realized after being married for some time that it wasn't enough. It wasn't enough to lead an individual life where I loved on person and we created a world together.
Frederick Lenz
Beyond this world there are myriad worlds, thousands of inter-dimensional planes with different types of beings going through other cycles of existence. Beyond all beings is something that is eternal.
Frederick Lenz
Not everyone is your friend. When you are psychic you tend to forget that others don't view life the way you do.
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
Many of the people I work with I've worked with in other lifetimes. I moved to California because I knew that many of my students from past lives were in California.
Frederick Lenz
The ego seeks fame and fortune. Humility doesn't seek at all - it accepts.
Frederick Lenz
In sexual contact a doorway opens between people, and it is very possible for someone to be abusive at that time with energy.
Frederick Lenz
We encompass all of existence, yet a particle of our awareness is focused in this world, in the moment.
Frederick Lenz
