Work to recognize the primary importance of the present moment.

Only if you resist what happens are you at the mercy of what happens, and the world will determine your happiness and unhappiness

To the ego, loving and wanting are the same, whereas true love has no wanting in it, no desire to possess or for your partner to change.

If I accept the fact that my relationships are here to make me conscious, instead of happy, then my relationships become a wonderful self mastery tool that keeps realigning me with my higher purpose for living.

Suffering begins when you mentally label a situation as bad. That causes an emotional contraction. When you let it be, without naming it, enormous power is available to you. The contraction cuts you off from that power, the power of life itself.

Some groups and individuals still are immersed totally in the egoic consciousness. Others already are free or in the process of stepping out of ego. The arising of the new consciousness already has started for many people. They are not yet recognizable as groups, but they are here and there.

The ego's form of happiness can't exist without unhappiness. The ego will be happy when something good happens but unhappy when it ends.
