Gratefulness for what is there is one of the most powerful tools for creating what is not yet there. What does gratefulness mean? It means you appreciate what is. You value, you give attention to, you honor whatever is here at this moment.

Rather than being your thoughts and emotions, be the awareness behind them.

Strictly speaking, you don't think: Thinking happens to you.

That stillness and vastness that enables the Universe to be, is not just out there in space...it is also within you.

It is the stillness that will save and transform the world.

Vipassana is fine until it becomes a technique that has many stages and that takes time to develop. That can be okay for people for a while, but then you have to leave the technique behind.

Whatever is arising in this moment, whatever condition, is part of the isness of life and therefore accepting it fully makes you an expression of the enormous power of life itself-true intelligence, which only comes when you stop obstructing the power of the present moment.
