Thinking without awareness is the main dilemma of human existence.

Work to recognize the primary importance of the present moment. A good little pointer toward that is to ask yourself, "What is my relationship with the present moment? How am I relating to it?"

Actually, the ability to choose presence depends on the degree of presence that's emerging in you. Ultimately, you are not choosing, there's nobody there to choose. When you think you are choosing, presence is simply emerging in that moment.

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.

There are three words that convey the secret of the art of living, the secret of all success and happiness. One With Life.

What could be more futile, more insane, than to create inner resistance to something that already is?

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