If you keep your attention in the body as much as possible, you will be anchored in the Now. You won't lose yourself in the external world, and you won't lose yourself in your mind. Thoughts and emotions, fears and desires may still be there to some extent, but they won't take you over.

Your inner purpose is to awaken. It is as simple as that. You share that purpose with every other person on the planet - because it is the purpose of humanity.

Ego means self-identification with thinking, to be trapped in thought, which means to have a mental image of "me" based on thought and emotions. So ego is there in the absence of a witnessing presence.

When the mind loses its density, you become translucent, like the flower. Spirit - the formless - shines through you into the world.

Surrender comes when you no longer ask, 'Why is this happening to me?'

The planet will not survive another hundred years of the same state of consciousness that produced the external effects of recent history.

As you become present and thereby total in what you do, your actions become charged with spiritual power.
