The reason why some people love to engage in dangerous activities, such as mountain climbing, car racing, and so on, although they may not be aware of it, is that it forces them into the Now - that intensely alive state that is free of time, free of problems, free of thinking, free of the burden of the personality.

For the ego to survive, it must make time - past and future - more important than the present moment.

Thinking is only a small aspect of consciousness. Thought cannot exist without consciousness, but consciousness does not need thought

In the world of form, everything changes and evolves. So, there was a certain evolution of the teaching. Different pointers came in, different stories, different approaches to the truth, which always is the same.

A great silent space holds all of nature in its embrace. It also holds you.

There are situations when all answers and explanations fade. When you fully accept that you do not know, you give up struggling to find answers with the limited thinking mind. That is when the greater intelligence can operate though you. Sometimes surrender means giving up trying to understand and becoming comfortable with not knowing.

The actual experience of awakening can only be in the present moment.
