Nations consist of individuals. It is for every individual to bring in a different quality - the quality of awakened consciousness - into their lives.

No matter how long your journey appears to be, there is never more than this: one step, one breath, one moment... Now.

Life wants to support you. But first you need to be open to life.

Be present as the watcher of your mind - of your thoughts and emotions as well as your reactions in various situations. Be at least as interested in your reactions as in the situation or person that causes you to react.

The thinking mind is a useful and powerful tool, but it is also very limiting when it takes over your life completely, when you don't realize that it is only a small aspect of the consciousness that you are.

Living up to an image that you have of yourself or that other people have of you is inauthentic living.

In a fully functional organism, an emotion has a very short life span. It is like a momentary ripple or wave on the surface of your Being.
