Humans eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and bad. Suddenly, they start cutting reality up into bits and pieces, which is what the thinking mind does.

Suffering begins when you mentally label a situation as bad. That causes an emotional contraction. When you let it be, without naming it, enormous power is available to you. The contraction cuts you off from that power, the power of life itself.

Time is the horizontal dimension of life, the surface layer of reality. Then there is the vertical dimension of depth, accessible only through the portal of the present moment.

The decision to make the present moment into your friend is the end of ego.

Sometimes surrender means giving up trying to understand and becoming comfortable with not knowing.

You can't wait for the end of your problems for you to be present. It has to be done whereever you are - which is now

You get there by realizing you are already there.
