More quotes by Frederick Lenz
We are cognizant of time, the sense that there is mutability. Time is change. It's the separation of eternity from itself. When eternity is separated from itself, we see it appear in different forms. Time is not a movement in space. Space is a movement in time.
Frederick Lenz
When you die you forget. Death is a sleep, a forgetting. You forget about your previous lifetime. The essence of your being is the same. But at death, the personality dissolves
Frederick Lenz
Words are deceptive. You think you understand something because it's explained to you and now you are under no obligation to do anything because you understand it.
Frederick Lenz
To run away from life and desire is impossible because you are life and you have desire. Accept that this is part of your physical condition and see that these aspects are not really indigenous to what you are.
Frederick Lenz
It is better to agree with a wrong idea than to press a right idea on other people.
Frederick Lenz
The spectrum that most people exist in this world is very mundane and very unhappy. Certainly human beings are capable of experiencing great joy and happiness.
Frederick Lenz
Deluded beings think that if they get in a battle with a Zen Master or with a Don Juan, that it's going enhance their life if they win. You can never take power from someone else any more than you can take sunlight.
Frederick Lenz
Enlightenment is not about being political. It is not a social club. Ashrams often turn into that, I know. Societies of enlightenment often just become cliques.
Frederick Lenz
The planes of consciousness are correlated to what we call the chakras, which are located along the shushumna.
Frederick Lenz
Most people think happiness comes from experiences in the world. The fulfillment of desire causes a type of happiness. But as soon as they experience passes, the happiness passes.
Frederick Lenz
The surface personality is only the beginning of what we are. So as we meditate, we still that surface personality, we can see beyond it, and we see that we encompass multitudes.
Frederick Lenz
With a teacher it is necessary to be sensitive to their directions most of the time they won't say much. You have to be still and silent to understand.
Frederick Lenz
Self-discovery is realistic. It's not built on ideas and philosophies. It's what works. Philosophies are nice if you like philosophies. But self-discovery is predicated on something that really brings you into enlightened states of mind.
Frederick Lenz
Enlightenment doesn't simply mean being in heavenly states of mind. It doesn't mean being a saint.
Frederick Lenz
Power is something that is not really visible. Some people have the power to rise above circumstance. Sociological factors and DNA are not all that determine success. It is power.
Frederick Lenz
The abuse of power takes happiness away.
Frederick Lenz
Mysticism cuts through bullshit, and it takes you right there to the experience. Everything in your life is eventually set up as a pragmatic energy flow into the light.
Frederick Lenz
There are so many traps. There are so many opportunities. Life is a river and we take our boat and we go down it.
Frederick Lenz
The absorption in nirvana is all that matters. All the strategies of your life are only there to empower you for your final assault on the impenetrable cliffs of forever.
Frederick Lenz
If you are truly wise, then you reflect the universe and you are relational in your approach to things. You are a mirror of infinity. That is wisdom.
Frederick Lenz
