Awareness of the inner body is consciousness remembering its origin and returning to the Source.

The future is usually imagined as either better or worse than the present. If the imagined future is better, it gives you hope or pleasurable anticipation. If it is worse, it creates anxiety. Both are illusory.

Seek out a tree and let it teach you stillness.

When you want to arrive at your goal more than you want to be doing what you are doing, you become stressed.

You can't think about presence, and the mind can't understand it. Understanding presence is being present.

Religion and ritual can be vehicles for entering stillness. It says in Psalm 46:10, 'Be still, and know that I am God.' But they are still just vehicles. The Buddha called his teaching a raft: You don't need to carry it around with you after you've crossed the river.
