Hope is what keeps you going, but hope keeps you focused on the future, and this continued focus perpetuates your denial of the Now and therefore your unhappiness.

Personally, I don't teach practices as such. The power of the teaching is sufficient without needing to go for any practice.

Whenever you are immersed in compulsive thinking, you are avoiding what is. You don't want to be where you are. Here, Now.

Presence is needed to become aware of the Beauty, the Majesty, the Sacredness of Nature

You are not 'in the now;' you are the now. That is your essential identity-the only thing that never changes. Life is always now. Now is consciousness. And consciousness is who you are. That's the equation.

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.

A huge number of people are going through the process of awakening, some in the early stages, some in later stages, and it's wonderful to see.
