......WAKE UP!

 The past has no power over the present moment.

Some changes look negative on the surface but you will soon realize that space is being created in your life for something new to emerge.

The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but your thoughts about it.

Life will give you whatever experience is most helpful for the evolution of your consciousness. How do you know this is the experience you need? Because this is the experience you are having at the moment.

Sometimes letting things go is an act of far greater power than defending or hanging on.

Give up defining yourself - to yourself or to others. You won't die. You will come to life. And don't be concerned with how others define you.

Whenever you interact with people, don't be there primarily as a function or a role, but as the field of conscious Presence.

You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are

Life isn't as serious as the mind makes it out to be

You find peace not by rearranging the circumstances of your life, but by realizing who you are at the deepest level.

Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it.

Whatever you fight, you strengthen, and what you resist, persists.

You find peace not by rearranging the circumstances of your life, but by realizing who you are at the deepest level.

This, too, will pass.

Death is a stripping away of all that is not you. The secret of life is to "die before you die" --- and find that there is no death.

The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but thought about it. Be aware of the thoughts you are thinking.

Accept - then act. Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it. Always work with it, not against it.

Time isn’t precious at all, because it is an illusion.

You do not become good by trying to be good, but by finding the goodness that is already within you, and allowing that goodness to emerge

Is there a difference between happiness and inner peace? Yes. Happiness depends on conditions being perceived as positive; inner peace does not

Being must be felt. It can't be thought.

Don't let a mad world tell you that success is anything other than a successful present moment

Always say “yes” to the present moment. What could be more futile, more insane, than to create inner resistance to what already is? what could be more insane than to oppose life itself, which is now and always now? Surrender to what is. Say “yes” to life — and see how life suddenly starts working for you rather than against you

If not now, when?

The greater part of human pain is unnecessary. It is self-created as long as the unobserved mind runs your life.

...the past gives you an identity and the future holds the promise of salvation, of fulfillment in whaterver form. Both are illusions.

Don't Seek Happiness. If you seek it, you won't find it, because seeking is the antithesis of happiness

To offer no resistance to life is to be in a state of grace, ease, and lightness. This state is then no longer dependent upon things being in a certain way, good or bad.

Knowing yourself is to be rooted in Being, instead of lost in your mind.

Become conscious of being conscious

Listen to the silence underneath the sounds

All problems are illusions of the mind.

You are not your mind.

The mind cannot forgive, only You can.

The moment you truly forgive, you have reclaimed your power from the mind

Forgiveness is to offer no resistance to life--to allow life to live through you.

Attention is the key to transformation--and full attention also implies acceptance.

No matter what happens on the outside, nothing can shake you anymore.

Be aware of the thoughts you are thinking.Separate them from the situation, which is always neutral, which always is as it is.

Knowing yourself deeply has nothing to do with whatever ideas are floating around in your mind.

Accept the present moment and find the perfection that is deeper than any form and untouched by time.

Rather than being your thoughts and emotions, be the awareness behind them.

The ultimate truth of who you are is not I am this or I am that, but I Am.

It may look as if the situation is creating the suffering, but ultimately this is not so--your resistance is.

When you accept what is, every moment is the best moment. That is enlightenment.

When you are present,when your attention is fully & intensely in the Now,Being can be felt,but it can never be understood mentally.

Be aware of your breathing.Notice how this takes attention away from your thinking and creates space.

All you really need to do is accept this moment fully. You are then at ease in the here and now and at ease with yourself.

It is not so much that you use your mind wrongly, you usually don't use it at all. It uses you

If you can neither enjoy or bring acceptance to what you do--stop

The ego doesn't know that the source of all energy is within you, so it seeks it outside.

Whatever you accept completely will take you to peace, including the acceptance that you cannot accept, that you are in resistance.

Knowing yourself as the awareness behind the voice is freedom

The truth is: you don't HAVE a life, you ARE life.

Your unhappiness ultimately arises not from the circumstances of your life but from the conditioning of your mind.

Feel the energy of your inner body. Immediately mental noise slows down or ceases.

Leave Life alone. Let it be.

Nonresistance is the key to the greatest power in the universe.

Ultimately, there is only one problem: the time-bound mind itself.

The mind cannot forgive. Only YOU can.

You find God the moment you realize that you don't need to seek God.

The light is too painful for someone who wants to remain in darkness.

Feel your whole body from within, as a single field of energy...Let this be your practice in the days and weeks to come.

You can't think about presence, and the mind can't understand it. Understanding presence is BEING present.

To listen to silence, wherever you are, is an easy and direct way of becoming present.

Is your doing surrendered or nonsurrendered? This is what determines your success in life, not how much effort you make.

Whatever your life situation is, how would you feel if you completely accepted it as it is--right Now?

Be still. Look. Listen. Be present.

Feel the aliveness within your body. That anchors you in the Now.

The key to transformation is to make friends with this moment. What form it takes doesn't matter.Say yes to it. Allow it.Be with it

True happiness is found in simple, seemingly unremarkable things.

Whenever you are conscious of the breath, you are absolutely present...Conscious breathing stops your mind.

Whereas mind-energy is hard and rigid, Being-energy is soft and yielding and yet infinitely more powerful than mind.

Once you realize and accept that all structures(forms)are unstable, even the seemingly solid material ones, PEACE arises within you

Here is a new spiritual practice for you: don't take your thoughts too seriously.

Forgiveness is to offer no resistance to LIFE--to allow LIFE to live through you.

A great silent space holds all of nature in its embrace. It also holds YOU.

It's up to YOU to open a portal in your life that gives you conscious access to the Unmanifested.

Nonresistance, nonjudgment, and nonattachment are the three aspects of true freedom and enlightened living.
