Awareness is conscious connection with universal intelligence. Another word for it is Presence: consciousness without thought.

Love, joy, and peace cannot flourish until you have freed yourself from mind dominance.

Don't quote the Buddha. Be the Buddha.

We have forgotten what rocks and plants still know - we have forgotten how to be - to be still - to be ourselves - to be where life is here and now

For the ego to survive, it must make time - past and future - more important than the present moment.

Being is accessible to you now as your own deepest self, your true nature. But don't seek to grasp it with your mind. Don't try to understand it. You can know it only when the mind is still. When you are present, when your attention is fully and intensely in the Now, Being can be felt, but it can never be understood mentally.

The first recognition of beauty was one of the most significant events in the evolution of human conciousness... seeing beauty in a flower could awaken humans, however briefly, to the beauty that is an essential part of their own innermost being, their true nature.
