Watch out for dark streets in big cities because there are a lot of strange beings that hang out there at night, let alone the people. Don't you remember anything from your other lives?
Frederick Lenz
Image
Use your mind to discriminate. Choose to advance yourself, to bring more purity into your being.
Frederick Lenz
Image
What is perfection anyway in the physical? It is an idea we have. When it doesn't happen we get all bent out of shape and frustrated and angry and then unhappy, we take it out on everybody.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I think that pain gives us appreciation of joy - it's a package deal. And I definitely think that the joys of life far outweigh the pain.

You reincarnate forever because you exist forever. You can't die. You can't be born, your essence that is. You are on a big wheel.
Frederick Lenz

You can get stuck in one state of mind or a general area of mind for a thousand lifetimes. Some states of mind afford better views than others.
Frederick Lenz

In this world we see nothing but diversity. Everyone thinks separate ideas and wants to develop a separate identity. They fight wars with each other. They destroy each other's identities.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The wheel goes round and round and round forever. Pleasure, pain, birth and death, lifetime after lifetime, it is endless. All sentient beings experience this, the endless dance of life, the lila.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Time holds the final claim check for everything we gain or attain in this lifetime. All of our possessions, along with the people we love, are only loaned to us for a very short time by eternity.
Frederick Lenz
Image
At the beginning and the middle and the end of all things, there is only the perfection of enlightenment that is nirvana.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Enlightened people live in very charged states of attention, with a tremendous power circuiting through them.
Frederick Lenz
Image
This is just one little lifetime in a succession of lifetimes.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You should be drawing awareness from a deeper part of your being. Your deeper mind has everything already. It knows everything already. It has all the answers.
Frederick Lenz
Image
It's considered very, very bad karma, if I can cut to the chase, to take power from a teacher and not use it for something very positive.
Frederick Lenz
Image
To love is to be balanced, to extend one's self beyond the sense of self.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If you just keep giving constantly, if you don't really take thought of your own welfare and your own awareness, but just give, beyond exhaustion - then your life will always be a constant progression.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Nirvikalpa samadhi is another matter. I don't feel that's really up to us. That happens at a certain time when our being has gone through countless changes and refinements.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There are seven primary chakras located in the subtle physical body, the body of light and energy that is our awareness and that surrounds the physical.
Frederick Lenz
Image
As long as you fight the system, all of the things that are part of the tonal of the times, then you will be imbalanced and will not do well in the other levels of attention.
