The past cannot survive in your presence. It can only survive in your absence.

If your mind carries a heavy burden of past, you will experience more of the same. The past perpetuates itself through lack of presence. The quality of your consciousness at this moment is what shapes the future.

Presence is needed to become aware of the Beauty, the Majesty, the Sacredness of Nature

For a relationship to deepen, at some point the spiritual dimension needs to come in. You don't even need to be fully awakened for this to happen, but if it does happen it certainly means you are awakening.

Just as the dog loves to chew bones, the human mind loves its problems.

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

Death is the moment of form dissolving. When that dissolving is not resisted, an opening appears into the dimension of the sacred, into the One formless, unmanifested Life. This is why death is such an incredible opportunity. There is no transformation of human consciousness without the dissolving that death brings.
