When this delusion of utter separateness underlies and governs whatever I think, say, and do, what kind of world do I create?

If the structures of the human mind remain unchanged, we will always end up re-creating the same world, the same evils, the same dysfunction.

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

At the height of creative activity fueled by enthusiasm, there will be enormous intensity and energy behind what you do. You will feel like an arrow that is moving toward the target-and enjoying the journey.

The ultimate truth of who you are is not I am this or I am that, but I Am.

We can learn not to keep situations or events alive in our minds, but to return our attention continuously to the pristine, timeless present moment rather than be caught up in mental movie making.

The truth is: you don’t have a life, you are life.
