As soon as you honor the present moment, all unhappiness and struggle dissolve.

When each thought absorbs your attention completely, it means you identify with the voice in your head. Thought then becomes invested with a sense of self. This is the ego, a mind-made "me." That mentally constructed self feels incomplete and precarious. That's why fearing and wanting are its predominant emotions and motivating forces.

God is not a personality outside of you. What God is, is inextricably part of what you are. God is the dimension of depth within you.

When you want to arrive at your goal more than you want to be doing what you are doing, you become stressed.

On a deeper level you are already complete. When you realize that, there is a joyous energy behind what you do.

In the stillness of your presence, you can feel your own formless and timeless reality as the unmanifested life that animates your physical form. You can then feel the same life deep within every other human and every other creature. You look beyond the veil of form and separation. This is the realization of oneness. This is love.

Humanity as a whole has already gone through unimaginable suffering, mostly self-inflicted, the culmination of which was the 20th century with its unspeakable horrors. This collective suffering has brought upon a readiness in many human beings for the evolutionary leap that is spiritual awakening.
