Nothing ever happened in the past that can prevent you from being present now, and if the past cant prevent you from being present now, what power does it have?

If you are not living this moment, you are not really living.

When you let go of the belief that you should or need to know who you are, what happens to confusion? Suddenly it is gone. When you fully accept that you don't know, you actually enter a state of peace and clarity that is closer to who you truly are than thought could ever be. Defining yourself through thought is limiting yourself.

My main life interest and purpose is to bring spiritual awakening into this world, to be a vehicle for the flowering of consciousness, to help people to live more consciously with less unnecessary suffering and self-generated unhappiness.

Suffering is necessary until you realize it is unnecessary.

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

Being an outsider to some extent, someone who does not "fit in" with others or is rejected by them for whatever reason, makes life difficult, but it also places you at an advantage as far as enlightenment is concerned. It takes you out of unconsciousness almost by force.
