You'll notice all around the Hindu temples couples, statues and drawings, in various erotic forms of love-making.

Frederick Lenz
Instead of your ego directing you and making countless mistakes, allow yourself to be guided by the invisible principles of the universe within your action.
Frederick Lenz
The pathway to enlightenment is beautiful. There are a lot of wonderful things that happen along the way. Win or lose, you just keep going, and it happens eventually.
Frederick Lenz
The male or female that the child has the most exposure to in the first four to six years of its life is the primary imprinter of the child.
Frederick Lenz
I had a father who was strong and kind and loving beyond ... at the same time who was extremely puritanical, who had been raised in a religion with extensive morality.
Frederick Lenz
Meditation is a very powerful time and you are very psychic. It is most important to not allow your attention, your mind, to wander.
Frederick Lenz
If you find a Tantric master - he has you go and do all the things you hate to do.
Frederick Lenz
Opinions are secondary when dealing with reality. They're subjective reflections.
Frederick Lenz
The ecstasy and completion of absorption in God is so fantastic that you can't possibly have lost anything because all the things you've always loved and always experienced came forth from there and exist there and are always there.
Frederick Lenz
