Something inside you emerges....an innate, indwelling peace, stillness, aliveness. It is the unconditioned, who you are in your essence. It is what you had been looking for in the love object. It is yourself.

And so I came to understand why some masters sometimes say, "You are already enlightened."

The future is an imagined Now, a projection of the mind.

Most humans live in the mindset that this moment is only important because it's getting them to the next one.

It may look as if the situation is creating the suffering, but ultimately this is not so - your resistance is.

Whereas the notion of purpose before was always associated with future, there is now a deeper purpose that can only be found in the present, through denial of time.

If you cannot accept an external event immediately, then some kind of resistance will come up. And there may be some external events you cannot accept at all.
