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.

Many things in your life matter, but only one thing matters absolutely.. It is finding the essence of who you are.

You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are.

The unchecked striving for more, for endless growth, is a dysfunction and a disease. It is the same dysfunction the cancerous cell manifests, whose only goal is to multiply itself, unaware that it is bringing about its own destruction by destroying the organism of which it is a part.

The ego is a false sense based on mental concepts. It is identification with the body and the mind-primarily identification with thought form.

If you completely accept something, it changes. If you completely accept it, it shifts.

True change happens within, not without. Find the Now within. Everybody you come in contact with will be touched by your presence and affected by the peace that you emanate, whether they are conscious of it or not.
