I began to go into samadhi, not just occasionally, but every day many times a day until I reached a point where I could no longer distinguish between ordinary and non-ordinary reality. For me it is all the same. I am in a state of continuous absorption in the Self.

Frederick Lenz Quotes

It is possible to move to an enlightened state of mind from a lower bardo or level of awareness. It can happen, but it is extremely unlikely.

— Frederick Lenz

From the point of view of enlightenment, none of this has ever even been. All time and space, all the conditions that are apparent in the absence of enlightenment are unreal.

— Frederick Lenz

Enlightenment just means that you don’t have a structural self. It means you’ve flipped through the gradated realities. Nothing binds, nothing clings to you. You’re unaffected by everything.

— Frederick Lenz

Good teachers are not known for telling you what you want to hear, and consequently they’re rarely popular because they tend to offend people on a regular basis by their mere presence on earth.

— Frederick Lenz

When you are enlightened, your physical body will still feel pain if you get hurt, but you will not be overwhelmed even by extreme physical pain, because your mind is filled with light, love and understanding.

— Frederick Lenz

If we really reflect and discriminate, we’ll find that all things are created by our perception, that all states exist within the mind.

— Frederick Lenz

The whole objective universe is created, ordered, by our perception and by our sense of self.

— Frederick Lenz

We go to the cinema we see images projected on the screen – but they’re not real, they’re only images.

— Frederick Lenz

Consciousness is the screen. The images on the screen are your perceptions, the illusion that life is solid, that there is a material universe.

— Frederick Lenz

There is no material universe. There is no reality. All that exists are images.

— Frederick Lenz

Where do these images comes from and where do they return? What is it that projects these images? How is it that we are the screen? How is it that we have forgotten that we are the Self and that nothing but the Self exists?

— Frederick Lenz

These questions can only be answered in absorption, because there are no answers.

— Frederick Lenz

Answers can suit the relative mind. In the dream we can be thirsty. But upon awaking from the dream, there’s no thirst.

— Frederick Lenz

All questions about the Self, fall away in the white light of eternity, in nirvana, because then we have awakened from the dream.

— Frederick Lenz

The finite forms have fallen away and we have become God.

— Frederick Lenz

So when we wake from the ignorance of this world, the dream of existence, all of the experiences that we have ever had fall away. The ideas of life and death, of rebirth, of reincarnation, karma, God, truth, knowledge – all these things fall away.

— Frederick Lenz

All the concepts, all knowings, all truths, all religous systems, all beliefs, fall away in the white light of eternity.

— Frederick Lenz

When you feel that you are superior to someone else, you lack compassion. Compassion is a word Buddhists use to express the realization that even though we may differ greatly in evolution, appearance, talents, or intelligence from other beings in the universe, we are all equally valuable in the eyes of eternity. This is wisdom.” – Surfing the Himalayas 202.
