As you become present and thereby total in what you do, your actions become charged with spiritual power.

Everybody who is not awake spiritually is totally identified with and run by their thinking mind - the incessant voice in the head.

Awareness takes over from thinking. Instead of being in charge of your life, thinking becomes the servant of awareness.

Fear seems to have many causes. Fear of loss, fear of failure, fear of being hurt, and so on, but ultimately all fear is the ego's fear of death, of annihilation. To the ego, death is always just around the corner. In this mind-identified state, fear of death affects every aspect of your life.

The ego is not only the unobserved mind, the voice in the head which pretends to be you, but also the unobserved emotions that are the body's reaction to what the voice in the head is saying.

Don't quote the Buddha. Be the Buddha.

Through forgiveness, which essentially means recognizing the insubstantiality of the past and allowing the present moment to be as it is, the miracle of transformation happens not only within but also without.
