Every moment you are present, there is a little less darkness in our world.
When you awaken, you know that everything that occurs at the level of mind is illusory in nature and so you no longer believe in it as the truth of life. It is sometimes happy and sometimes sad, because it is a world of duality. You relax and accept the dual nature of the world of the mind and the world of experience within time. This will create balance within duality which will open the doorway to Oneness.
Everything that occurs in your life is an opportunity for awakening. There are no exceptions!
Beyond all experience is the one who is experiencing. Beyond all change is the One who never changes.
Your gift to God is honesty. God's gift to you is truth.
If you fully awaken, you will not know yourself. Understand this, and you will understand all.
If you’re truly present in this moment, then you are a Buddha. At least for this moment!
You cannot be present in an abstract way. Presence is not about disappearing into nothingness. You can only be present with something that is actually here.
In the awakened state, the mind is either perfectly silent or it is a perfectly clear instrument of expression.
If you want to know who you are, look into the true mirror. The flower will reflect your beauty. The sky will reflect your vastness. The ocean will reflect your depth. The child will reflect your innocence. But if you look into the mirror that is unconscious humanity, you are looking into the wrong mirror. Your reflection will be distorted by their projections.
Each new moment presents an opportunity for conscious choice. We can choose to let go of the past. We can choose to be here now. We can choose to accept responsibility for ourselves. . . . We can choose to awaken. Or we can choose to remain asleep and unconscious.
Gratitude, generosity and humility are inherent characteristics of one who is present. When you awaken, you will realize that everyone and everything has the same right to be here as you do. This includes every human Being, every tree Being, every flower Being, and every other kind of Being.
Once you have found yourself and accepted your aloneness, then the greatest blessing is to share the love that arises within you. Each new moment presents the richest opportunity to be loving. And you can share love in the simplest of ways. Be soft and gentle. Be caring and kind. Be loving in an ordinary way, without any sense of wanting anything back, Life offers you the most precious gift. The gift of allowing you to be present and share love.
I cannot tell you anything that you don't already know, but it is known in silence.
It's not them, it's you. It's not there, it's here. It's not then, it's now.
The price of freedom is to allow freedom. Very few people are willing to pay the price.
It is far wiser to ask for a question than an answer. When you think you have all the answers, it simply means you have run out of questions.
Waking up is not serious. It is a gentle remembering and an honoring of the present moment as the truth of life.
The fact that we are aware of ourselves is both our greatest curse and also our greatest blessing.
When you awaken, you will see that this is Heaven on Earth, and everything in physical form is the body of God.
THE JOURNEY IS FROM HERE TO HERE. AND THE ONLY TIME YOU CAN ARRIVE IS NOW.
Wanting others to love you, you give away your heart. Wanting others to see you, you give away your eyes.
True power arises in knowing what you want, knowing what you don't want, expressing it clearly and lovingly without attachment to the outcome.
If you really know how to ask the question 'Who am I?' you will inevitably be delivered into that state of silence and pure consciousness that is your true Being. The question 'Who am I?' will ultimately deliver you into the 'I am' of you.
You spend very little time in the present moment. Reality exists only in the present moment. Therefore you spend very little time in reality.
