When another recognizes you, that recognition draws the dimension of Being more fully into this world through both of you. That is the love that redeems the world.

The 'soul' is one of the words you can use to talk about your innermost being, the essence of who you are.

The equivalent of external noise is the inner noise of thinking. The equivalent of external silence is inner stillness.

The present moment has always been available to spiritual seekers, but as long as you are seeking you are not available to the present moment. "Seeking" implies that you are looking to the future for some answer, or for some achievement, spiritual or otherwise. Everybody is in the seeking mode, seeking to add something to who they are, whether it be money, relationships, possessions, knowledge, status.. or spiritual attainment.

Thinking without awareness is the main dilemma of human existence.

Your primary purpose is to be here fully, and to be total in whatever you do so that the preciousness of the present moment does not become reduced to a means to an end. And there you have your life purpose. That's the very foundation of your life.

You can't argue with what is.... Well, you can, but if you do, you suffer.
