When your consciousness is directed outward, mind and world arise. When it is directed inward, it realises its own Source and returns home into the Unmanifested.

When you recognize this, you also realize that you are now free to give up this futile conflict, this inner state of war.

A self - a me - exists in every thought and every emotion. Suffering arises through complete identification with thinking and emotions.

To the ego, the present moment hardly exists. Only past and future are considered important. This total reversal of the truth accounts for the fact that in the ego mode the mind is so dysfunctional. It is always concerned with keeping the past alive, because without it - who are you?

People look to time in expectation that it will eventually make them happy, but you cannot find true happiness by looking toward the future.

To be a seeker implies that you need the future. If this is what you believe, it becomes true for you: you will need time until you realize that you don't need time to be who you are.

Guilt, regret, resentment, sadness & all forms of nonforgiveness are caused by too much past & not enough presence.
