The present moment is all you ever have.

Look around the room a few times a day as if you had just been born into that room.

The realm of consciousness is much vaster than thought can grasp. When you no longer believe everything you think, you step out of thought and see clearly that the thinker is not who you are.

You are not 'in the now;' you are the now. That is your essential identity-the only thing that never changes. Life is always now. Now is consciousness. And consciousness is who you are. That's the equation.

The other person's presence ultimately is the same as your presence, because it is in presence that there is true meeting.

When you observe yourself reacting to what are minor things in your life, you will find that the mechanism is the same as when major things seem to go wrong in your life and there is upset.

Enlightened groups can exist, as long as the individuals' sense of identity is not derived from a mentally defined image of us.
