The word God has become empty of meaning through thousands of years of misuse... By misuse, I mean that people who have never glimpsed the realm of the sacred, the infinite vastness behind that word, use it with great conviction, as if they knew what they are talking about. Or they argue against it, as if they knew what it is they are denying. This misuse gives rise to absurd beliefs, assertions, and egoic delusions, such as "My or our God is the only true God, and your God is false," or Nietzsche's famous statmeent "God is dead.

Even my desire to become free or enlightened is just another craving for fulfillment or completion in the future. So don’t seek to become free or desire or “achieve” enlightenment. Become present.

Presence is when you're no longer waiting for the next moment, believing that the next moment will be more fulfilling than this one.

Some changes look negative on the surface but you will soon realize that space is being created in your life for something new to emerge.

Everything flows with much greater ease when people live as one with the present moment.

What you encounter at your destination once you get there depends on the quality of this one step. Another way of putting it: What the future holds for you depends on your state of consciousness now.

Stressful energy arises when you think some future moment is more important than the present moment, and the doing becomes only a means to an end.
