Frederick Lenz Quotes

No one can bring you into higher states of attention permanently. I can take an individual and i can change their awareness. That's easy. But how long will it last?

There are some teachers who just perform miracles. They can manifest things from the other world into this world. They have siddha powers. They are not necessarily enlightened.

There is no such thing as a miracle. A miracle is just what somebody else doesn't understand. If we went back into the Stone Age and we lit a match, they'd say, "Ahh miracla, miracla!"

A true master has developed, in their inner practices and studies, certain powers. These powers are sometimes of the miraculous nature, the transmission of attention.

If you are going to focus on a teacher, you have to be focused on the teacher and not peripheral vibrations that might be around them or it will totally screw up your meditation.

We hear wonderful stories about some masters who can walk on water and do all kinds of great things. But the real power of the teacher is to transmit power and knowledge directly to an individual.

With the empowerment of an advanced Teacher, and your own best efforts, you will be able to explore the mysteries of knowledge that lead to completion and perfection.

In order to do an empowerment, a person obviously has to be highly empowered, have the power, and also have the structural knowledge of how to transfer it to someone else.

If you run into a Buddha, then that energy field, the "rad" level is so high, it's incalculable. Their effect on an individual is for many, many, many, many, many, many lifetimes.

The role of the Buddhist teacher is to explain your options and to show you what creates karma. All our discussions are basically karmic until you're fully engaged in samadhi.

Buddhism is all about secrets.

Those secrets are things that most people don't learn, because they are not enthusiastic enough, or bright enough, or patient enough, or funny enough; or still enough.

The teacher will perform miracles. Not just to delight and amuse people, but showing them that miraculous occurrences indicate that there is something more.

You have to begin to develop a repertory of jokes, multi-plane spiritual jokes, the sort of things the Zen masters tell each other when they're asleep. These are the secret teachings.

As a teacher you just look at someone and you transmit to them what they need to know. Not simply a thought form, but you transmit an awareness level.

Very few people become enlightened in any given lifetime. On the planet earth their might be a dozen who are fully enlightened and several thousand who live in enlightened states of mind.

A teacher is there to laugh at you because you have such a high opinion of yourself that you need to be laughed at. You need to sense how small we all are.

Why don't more women attain enlightenment?

I observe that more evolved souls are now reincarnating as women. Women find it easier to meditate and easier to develop their psychic abilities.

The most important problem for our world to solve is the inequality of men and women.

When women come into their full power, a balance will occur which has not been seen for so long that no one remembers it.

A species divided against itself will eventually fall.

If global extinction is to be avoided, woman must unite and come to terms with their destiny.

If even one woman in the West were to become enlightened, it would change karmas on this planet.

The world has never had a greater need for enlightened women and men.

What is male and female? Is it just a physical condition? No. The energy runs very, very differently in a woman than in a man.

What is a woman? A woman is chaos. Chaos is the naturally perfect state of all things.

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.

It is much easier for a woman to meditate than it is for men, innately. Their subtle physical bodies pick up the kundalini much more quickly.

I don't work with men who are antagonistic to the liberation of women. I do work with quite a number of men who are supportive of the enlightenment of women. Such men are rare.

It is equally easy, initially, for either a man or a woman to attain enlightenment, what we would call liberation or self-realization.

Women have been denied access to advanced methods of self discovery throughout the ages.

The few women who have been admitted to the study are usually given a second-class status in which they are taught only the basics of self-discovery.

They are denied access to the more advanced techniques of releasing the kundalini energy, which bring about quantum leaps in self-awareness.

Many Eastern spiritual groups feel that women are not capable of enlightenment. They advise women to have sons and pray to be men in their next incarnations

Women have been systematically pushed out of spirituality by men.

In the Bhagavad-Gita, a book that I revere and respect, it's indicated that even women, along with animals, are capable of attaining enlightenment.

Historically men have suppressed women quite effectively. They have suppressed women since the beginning of our history.

There's this absurd innate need in most men to feel that they're more powerful than women are, which is ridiculous.

Women have been taught that they are not powerful; they've been given an opposite description, that they are weak. The word "effeminate" implies weakness.

A lot of men hate women subconsciously or just are very confused about them or are afraid of them or are afraid of their power, or want to suppress them.

Men have reacted very negatively to the power that is inherent in women.

They have rejected that power and sought to convince women of the exact opposite, that they are powerless.

They have done this through sexual repression, economic repression, political repression, social repression, ideological repression and spiritual repression.

Men, through the ideas they have, project a field of attention that limits women.

Because they dream so strongly in themselves, their superiority and women's inferiority, they project an image that a woman finds very, very difficult to fight against.

Many religions over the years have suggested that when a woman is menstruating, she should be avoided and not touched.

In their confusion and delusion, men hate the womb that gives them birth. Not all men, certainly , but enough men to run the world.

Women have been dependent upon men for their survival, for the survival of their children.

A woman's place, her entire experience in life, has been and in many places still is dependent upon the man she marries.
