What a liberation to realize that the ‘voice in my head’ is not who I am. ‘Who am I, then?’ The one who sees that.
Most people treat the present moment as if it were an obstacle that they need to overcome. Since the present moment is life itself, it is an insane way to live.
When you live in complete acceptance of what is, that is the end of all drama in your life.
When you are not honoring the present moment by allowing it to be, you are creating drama.
Narrow your life down to this moment. Your life situation may be full of problems – most life situations are – but find out if you have a problem at this moment. Do you have a problem now?
On a deeper level you are already complete. When you realize that, there is a joyous energy behind what you do.
The world can only change from within.
Nonresistance, nonjudgment, and nonattachment are the three aspects of true freedom and enlightened living.
Spiritual Awakening is awakening from the dream of thought.
Wisdom comes with the ability to be still. Just look and just listen. No more is needed. Being still, looking, and listening activates the non-conceptual intelligence within you. Let stillness direct your words and actions.
True salvation is freedom from negativity, and above all from past and future as a psychological need.
If you are in a state of intense presence you are free of thought, yet highly alert. If your conscious attention sinks below a certain level, thought rushes in, the mental noise returns, stillness is lost, you’re back in time.
To offer no resistance to life is to be in a state of grace, ease, and lightness.
You need no time to open yourself to the power of now and so awaken to who you are beyond name and form and realize that in the depth of your being, you are already complete, whole, one with the timeless essence of all life.
Stress is caused by being here but wanting to be there, or being in the present but wanting to be in the future. It’s a split that tears you apart inside.
To know yourself as the Being underneath the thinker, the stillness underneath the mental noise, the love and joy underneath the pain, is freedom, salvation, enlightenment.
When you live in surrender, something comes through you into the world of duality that is not of this world.
Become intensely conscious of the present moment.
Stillness is the only thing in this world that has no form. But then, it is not really a thing, and it is not of this world.
If you are not in the state of either acceptance, enjoyment, or enthusiasm, look closely and you will find that you are creating suffering for yourself and others.
