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.

We would destroy ourselves and the planet if no change happens, because of the amplification of the egoic state through science and technology.

Some people get attached to their practice. They get good at it, but even becoming a good meditator can become a hindrance.

As long as you are unable to access the power of the Now, every emotional pain that you experience leaves behind a residue of pain that lives on in you.

The quicker you are in attaching verbal or mental labels to things, people, or situations, the more shallow and lifeless your reality becomes, and the more deadened you become to reality

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.

Whatever you accept completely, you go beyond. If you fight it, you're stuck with it.
