More quotes by Frederick Lenz
If you can't think of an enlightened person positively, don't think of them at all.
Frederick Lenz
It's up to you to avail yourself to knowledge. Knowledge doesn't need you. The idea of a compassionate God was formulated, obviously, by someone who didn't want to do any work.
Frederick Lenz
Mindfulness is passive meditation. It is passive because your energy and your attention are divided between your actions and your practice, your meditation.
Frederick Lenz
The process is learning to turn your back on everything and everyone and face that immensity. And only after you've done that can you then turn around and face the world again with new, clear eyes.
Frederick Lenz
If you are psychic you can perceive that someone may love you and they can't show it. Someone may seek to harm you and they mask it.
Frederick Lenz
Perpetual wakefulness doesn't mean you have all physical knowledge, that you can speak all languages, that you can fix cars...that is a storybook, Hollywood version of the enlightenment experience.
Frederick Lenz
A better lifetime comes from not some karmic scale but from inner knowledge. Inner knowledge makes you happy. In other words, it is not as if someone is checking!
Frederick Lenz
In this prison camp, the Gestapo state brain-police planet Earth, what is normal is insane and what is insane is normal. But it doesn't pay to tell that to the local politicians or other organizational structures that run the place that. They didn't crucify Christ because they liked what he said.
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
You can focus on Jesus or Buddha or Krishna, Ramakrishna, Lao Tsu, Yukteswar, Yogananda, Vivekananda, any of the great spiritual teachers who have lived, or on a living teacher, and draw light from them.
Frederick Lenz
When I'm in the second attention, when I stop looking through eyes that have been formed for me by others, I see something else. I see power.
Frederick Lenz
Human beings actually have quite a bit of willpower. They don't know too much about it, but they have quite a bit.
Frederick Lenz
I think the most miraculous thing is learning. I get out of the way and let the students learn. Then you get to watch this amazing thing happen.
Frederick Lenz
Meditation is a violent act of separation from mass consciousness and direct access to power.
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
Beyond mind, beyond time, beyond space there is immortal awareness.
Frederick Lenz
We sit in meditation and cry to God, we cry to the light, as little children, knowing God will do everything for us.
Frederick Lenz
If negative auric vibrations are not kept to a minimum by using psychic shielding techniques, and if they aren't cleansed from our subtle body through meditation, they will accumulate and eventually become very toxic.
Frederick Lenz
A person who doesn't dress well, who doesn't spend time and attention with their physical being, has a very loose being.
Frederick Lenz
If your're not having a very good time with your life, its because you haven't done much for others. You may have done many things but you havent done much for those around you.
Frederick Lenz
