More quotes by Frederick Lenz
Flaky devotionalism, bowing and scraping and sucking up to the teacher is very phony. It is counterproductive to enlightenment and spiritual development. What is necessary is mutual respect.
Frederick Lenz
Master Fwap, who told me that snowboarding, or any activity could be improved by the practice of meditation. Since I had had previously some training in Korean martial arts, I was somewhat open to the idea.
Frederick Lenz
Lack of judgement doesn't mean that you don't see what is or is not. It simply means that you realize that everyone is constantly changing - everyone is made up of conscioussness.
Frederick Lenz
If you wake up for a moment and look around at life, you will observe that nothing here lasts, nothing works out. There are no happy endings. All accomplishments are washed away by death or by the next moment.
Frederick Lenz
You can just sweep the floor generally and gain nothing from it. Or you can figure out the best way to sweep the floor, put your power into it, use it as a concentration exercise, and be meditative.
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
Your tonal must accept that the nagual exists and that it's beneficial and healthy.
Frederick Lenz
The samskaras that were developed in previous incarnations are usually hidden by the temporary amnesia of infancy and by the transient personality.
Frederick Lenz
To become wise, meditate on the third eye, between the eyebrows and a little bit above. Focus on that spot, the Agni chakra.
Frederick Lenz
Now, stopping thought is only the beginning. As Brahmananda, who was a disciple of Sri Ramakrishna, once remarked: The inner life begins with samadhi. This is an awesome thought, I realize, for the average person who meditates, that it could begin with samadhi.
Frederick Lenz
A man, as we see in this world, is chaos, but he doesn't recognize that fact so he tries to bring order into everything. Order is disorder. Order creates disorder.
Frederick Lenz
The ego seeks fame and fortune. Humility doesn't seek at all - it accepts.
Frederick Lenz
Loneliness is a feeling that is created by our ego. The ego feels separate from the rest of creation. The answer to overcoming those feelings is ecstasy.
Frederick Lenz
It is necessary to do a very thorough examination of your life and to discover whether the people in your life, no matter how much you love them, are using you or abusing you.
Frederick Lenz
A person without much power is easily influenced by others, whether they are physical or non-physical beings. Their life is easily ruined. They are blown around like a leaf in the wind.
Frederick Lenz
The spirit of the West, of America, is different than the East. The cultural conditioning is very different. It seems to be harder for people to work in teams, more difficult for people here to live in harmony, in a monastery.
Frederick Lenz
Don't be afraid. You are as alive as anything else is alive. Your right to be alive is as great as the right of anything else.
Frederick Lenz
The etiquette is higher consciousness, sensitivity, gentleness, gracefulness, intensity, power, and knowledge.
Frederick Lenz
There are phony teachers who profess all kinds of things, and I think you will figure out real fast who they are. They just don't feel right.
Frederick Lenz
The process of eliminating the samskaras and reaching complete enlightenment is very technical, wonderful, and mystical process.
