The planet will not survive another hundred years of the same state of consciousness that produced the external effects of recent history.

Stressful energy arises when you think some future moment is more important than the present moment, and the doing becomes only a means to an end.

Direct your attention inward. Have a look inside yourself. What kind of thoughts is your mind producing? What do you feel? Direct your attention into the body. Is there any tension? Once you detect that there is a low level of unease, the background static, see in what way you are avoiding, resisting, or denying life-by denying the Now.

Most people's lives are run by desire and fear. Desire is the need to add something to yourself in order to be yourself more fully. All fear is the fear of losing something and thereby becoming diminished and being less. These two movements obscure the fact that Being cannot be given or taken away. Being in its fullness is already within you, Now.

The primary purpose of life is in being in the NOW.

All true artists, whether they know it or not, create from a place of no-mind, from inner stillness.

The future is only a thought form. Work with the present moment. Be with what is.
