Present-moment awareness creates a gap not only in the stream of mind but also in the past-future continuum. Nothing truly new and creative can come into this world except through that gap, that clear space of infinite possibility.

The little saying, 'Be still and know that I Am God' ... contains the entire wisdom of religion in those few words.

When you are fully present with everyone you meet, you relinquish the conceptual identity you made for them - your interpretation of who they are and what they did in the past - and are able to interact without the egoic movements of desire and fear. Attention, which is alert stillness, is the key.

The future is an imagined Now, a projection of the mind.

You are never more essentially, more deeply, yourself than when you are still.

If you walk into a forest - you hear all kinds of subtle sounds - but underneath there is an all pervasive silence.

Your true evolution is not what you do out there. That's secondary. Your true evolution is to do with the arising of awareness in you as you go about your life.
