To listen to the silence, wherever you are, is an easy and direct way of becoming present.

All you can do is create a space for transformation to happen, for grace and love to enter.

To me the ego is the habitual and compulsive thought processes that go through everybody's mind continuously. External things like possessions or memories or failures or successes or achievements. Your personal history.

The future is usually imagined as either better or worse than the present. If the imagined future is better, it gives you hope or pleasurable anticipation. If it is worse, it creates anxiety. Both are illusory.

Being must be felt. It can't be thought.

True happiness is not related to external conditions but comes from the unconditioned.

A belief may be comforting. Only through your own experience, however, does it become liberating.
