...the past gives you an identity and the future holds the promise of salvation, of fulfillment in whaterver form. Both are illusions.

To experience anything fully and see it clearly there must be a moment of presence where conceptual thinking is not interfering with your experience of that moment.

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.

Since ancient times, spiritual masters of all traditions have pointed to the Now as the key to the spiritual dimension. Despite this, it seems to have remained a secret.

When you complain, you make yourself a victim. Leave the situation, change the situation or accept it, all else is madness.

As long as you make an identity for yourself out of pain, you cannot be free of it.

Thinking fragments reality - it cuts it up into conceptual bits and pieces.
