Thought began to take over and obscured the simple yet profound joy of connectedness with being.
What you encounter at your destination once you get there depends on the quality of this one step. Another way of putting it: What the future holds for you depends on your state of consciousness now.
For the ego to survive, it must make time - past and future - more important than the present moment.
Leave life alone. Let it be.
The power of the heart is to be connected with who you are at the deepest level. The power of the heart is the power of life itself, the power of the very intelligence that pervades and underlies the entire universe. It is a power that lies at the very heart of the universe. So to live in connectedness with that, then you are in touch with the power of the heart.
Whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
The great arises out of small things that are honored and cared for.
Acceptance of what is immediately frees you from mind identification and thus reconnects you with Being. Resistance is the mind.
Feel the Aliveness within your Body. That anchors You in the Now.
Awareness and ego cannot coexist.
To awaken within the dream is our purpose now. When we are awake within the dream, the ego-created earth-drama comes to an end and a more benign and wonderous dream arises.
The moment you become aware of the silence, you also have become silent.
Being one with life is being one with Now. You then realize that you don't live your life, but life lives you. Life is the dancer, and you are the Dance.
If it is the quality of your consciousness at this moment that determines the future, then what is it that determines the quality of your consciousness? Your degree of presence. So the only place where true change can occur and where the past can be dissolved is the Now.
