Occasionally at a Center Meeting, not that often, every couple of months, I'll break down and demonstrate a little mystical kundalini but not that often, simply because it wouldn't be that effective.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If you become obsessive in spiritual practice, if you just try and try, you are not going to be happy. You are going to be obsessive.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The spirit longs for the world of light from which it came. That longing causes something to happen. It causes the being to grow into light.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You have to look at your own thought forms. Are you sitting around and thinking a lot of negative thoughts? These injure the subtle body. When you hate, when you are angry, you bring that energy through you.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We applaud the people who are film stars, who get elected to an office, who are very athletic, the small group who play with power in a very limited way. But we're completely oblivious to what can be done to the infinite realities that exist in front of us. We deny them.

Image
You must be accommodating with your teacher. You must have a sense of humor about your teacher and the impossible things they ask you to do.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You should always feel, no matter how many times you've meditated before, that this is your first meditation. You have no idea what will happen or what won't happen.
Frederick Lenz
Image
When your mind is clear and your third eye is open, you can see and know things that are taking place thousands of miles away from you.

Beyond the astral dimensions are the causal dimensions. They are not spatial or time oriented. They are planes of light, and they make up the outer limits of nirvana.
Frederick Lenz
Image
It is your causal body that is the real you. At the end of each incarnation, it carries the knowledge and karmic patterns of that lifetime, in addition to all of your other previous lifetimes, into your next lifetime.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You will have to put aside some things in your life, habits, ideas, ways of seeing life. You will have to learn new things, and then new things and then new things - forever.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Clothing has a great deal to do with the attitudes and energy that others direct towards you. I favor the chic, and tend to avoid the trendy. I think that it's good to be chic when possible because it is more inaccessible.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The reason a person is in a particular state of mind is primarily because of attraction and aversion. Attraction and aversion cause us to format a mental or intellectual program.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Sex is like any other transaction, except that it is not like any other transaction.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Like a robe wears out over time and turns to rags, life wears out from day to day, from second to second.
Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche
Image
Self-knowledge, I guess, is hard. But I think pain is harder, personally. I think to be hopeless is very hard. I think to die without hope or to live without hope is very hard.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Use your mind to discriminate. Choose to advance yourself, to bring more purity into your being.
Frederick Lenz
Image
To me, as a visual artist, I don't want to get into the theory of Buddhism. There are many Buddhism theories and they fight each other, like Christians as well.

Image
Humility feels that there is someone, somewhere who can do anything I can do better - except one thing: no one can be better at being me.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If you are serious about sports and athletics then you need to begin the discipline of mind. With the power of mind, almost anything can be accomplished.
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.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Do not feel that you are destined not to make that final liberation in this life. This is egotism in a reverse form. Don't be concerned one way or the other.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Happiness does not come from external things as we're really taught as children. It doesn't come from Santa Claus. Happiness is from within your mind. Just realizing that will change your whole life.
Frederick Lenz
Image
In the training process, the teacher addresses two sides of your being. One is the tonal and one is the nagual.
