Enlightenment is the unaltered state of consciousness

It is not the pursuit of greater and greater states of happiness and bliss that leads to enlightenment, but the yearning for Reality and the rabid dissatisfaction with living anything less than a fully authentic life.

You think that enlightenment is something other than what is happening right now. This is your primary mistake.

Enlightenment is the natural state of consciousness, the innocent state of consciousness, that state which is uncontaminated by the movement of thought, uncontaminated by control or manipulation of mind.

Whatever you can become will ultimately be destroyed. Only what you already are can't be taken away.

A spiritual teaching is a finger pointing toward Reality; it is not Reality itself. To be in a true and mature relationship with a spiritual teaching requires you to apply it, not simply believe in it.

The beautiful thing about the truth of being is that it's so unimaginably immediate.
