Acceptance looks like a passive state, but in reality it brings something entirely new into this world. That peace, a subtle energy vibration, is consciousness.

Quality requires your Presence.

The ego's form of happiness can't exist without unhappiness. The ego will be happy when something good happens but unhappy when it ends.

When you are present, you can allow the mind to be as it is without getting entangled in it.

The greater part of human pain is unnecessary. It is self-created as long as the unobserved mind runs your life.

Be alert as you watch a dog at play or at rest. Let the animal teach you to feel at home in the now, to celebrate life by being completely present. You just watch the tail ... with some dogs you just look at them - just a little look is enough - and their tail goes ...'Life is good! Life is good!' And they are not telling themselves a story of why life is good. It's a direct realization.

The future does not exist, because nobody has ever experienced it. You can only ever experience a present moment.
