Feel the Aliveness within your Body. That anchors You in the Now.
Get the inside right, and the outside will take care of itself.
If you accept that a relationship is here to make you conscious instead of happy, then the relationship will offer you salvation, and you will be aligning yourself with the higher consciousness that wants to be born into this world.
Forgive yourself for not being at peace.
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.
Enthusiasm is the power that transfers the mental blueprint into the physical dimension.
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.
When you are aware of space, you are not really aware of anything, except awareness itself - the inner space of consciousness. Through you, the universe is becoming aware of itself! Just as space enables all things to exist and just as without silence there could be no sound, you would not exist without the vital formless dimension that is the essence of who you are.
Mastery of life is not a question of control, but of finding a balance between human and being...Human is form. Being is formless. Human and Being are not separate but interwoven.
Learn from nature. See how everything gets accomplished and how the miracle of life unfolds without dissatisfaction or unhappiness.
Don't wait to be successful at some future point, have a successful relationship with the present moment and be fully present in whatever you are doing. That is success.
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.
