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.

True freedom and the end of suffering is living in such a way as if you had completely chosen whatever you feel or experience at this moment. This inner alignment with Now is the end of suffering. Is suffering really necessary? Yes and no. If you had not suffered as you have, there would be no depth to you as a human being, no humility, no compassion. You would not be reading this now. Suffering cracks open the shell of ego, and then comes a point when it has served its purpose. Suffering is necessary until you realize it is unnecessary.

To awaken within the dream is our purpose now. When we are awake within the dream, the ego-created earth-drama comes to an end and a more benign and wonderous dream arises.

The little saying, 'Be still and know that I Am God' ... contains the entire wisdom of religion in those few words.

The power of now can only be realized now. It requires no time and effort. Effort means you're trying hard to get somewhere, and so you are not present, welcoming this moment as it is.

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

It wasn't through the mind, through thinking, that the miracle that is life on earth or your body were created and are being sustained.
