People don't realize that now is all there ever is; there is no past or future except as memory or anticipation in your mind.

When you are fully present with everyone you meet, you relinquish the conceptual identity you made for them - your interpretation of who they are and what they did in the past - and are able to interact without the egoic movements of desire and fear. Attention, which is alert stillness, is the key.

For many people, the first indication of a spiritual awakening is that they suddenly become aware of their thoughts. They become a witness to their thoughts, so to speak. They are not completely identified with their mind anymore and so they begin to sense that there is a depth to them that they had never known before.

Most people don't know how to listen because the major part of their attention is taken up by thinking.

Neither failure nor success has the power to change your inner state of Being.

When you live in complete acceptance of what is, that is the end of all drama in your life.

Accept the present moment without judgement.
