Most people want to get what they want, whereas the secret is to want what you get at this moment.

The reality is there is only each present moment: You are called to give a talk. You get out of a building and into a car. You look out of the window. You arrive at the venue. You sit in the chair; you wait; you step out onto the stage. Every movement is simple. There is only that.

When you become comfortable with uncertainty, infinite possibilities open up in your life.

Because we all carry the Truth within us as our essence, we recognize it immediately.

The actual experience of awakening can only be in the present moment.

The philosopher Descartes believed he had found the most fundamental truth when he made his famous statement: "I think, therefore I am." He had, in fact, given expression to the most basic error: to equate thinking with Being and identity with thinking. The compulsive thinker, which means almost everyone, lives in a state of apparent separateness, in an insanely complex world of continuous problems and conflict, a world that reflects the ever-increasing fragmentation of the mind.

If the structures of the human mind remain unchanged, we will always end up re-creating the same world, the same evils, the same dysfunction.
