Become intensely conscious of the present moment.

The more you are focused on time-past and future-the more you miss the Now, the most precious thing there is.

Germany is a nation that created an enormous amount of suffering on the planet. The German people also themselves have suffered, because it always goes together.

The more you make your thoughts and beliefs into your identity, the more cut off you are from the spiritual dimension within yourself.

Don't think of yourself as having a past, don't think of yourself as having a future. What's left?

One way of pointing to this realization is, when you think you have big problems, ask yourself, "What problem do I have at this moment?" Usually, you will find that you don't have a problem at this moment because you're sitting here and you're breathing, you're looking out the window, and it's fine.

When you say “yes” to the “isness” of life, when you accept this moment as it is, you can feel a sense of spaciousness within you that is deeply peaceful.
