Meditate or spend silent time in nature with your partner. When going for a walk or sitting in the car or at home, become comfortable with being in stillness together. Stillness cannot and need not be created. Just be receptive to the stillness that is already there, but is usually obscured by mental noise.

The present moment is all you ever have.

The purpose of the world is for youto be lost in it, ultimately. The purpose of the world is for you to suffer, to create the suffering that seems to be what is needed for the awakening to happen.

"I am the awareness that is aware that there is attachment." That's the beginning of the transformation of consciousness.

When you are fully conscious, drama does not come into your life anymore.

A self - a me - exists in every thought and every emotion. Suffering arises through complete identification with thinking and emotions.

Until presence becomes your predominant state, you may find yourself moving back and forth for a while between the old consciousness and the new, between mind identification and presence.
