Each new moment presents an opportunity for conscious choice. We can choose to let go of the past. We can choose to be here now. We can choose to accept responsibility for ourselves. . . . We can choose to awaken. Or we can choose to remain asleep and unconscious.

When you are fully present, you transcend duality and open into Oneness. In Presence, there is power without opposition. There is love without hate, acceptance without judgment and allowing without control.

In the present moment, you are beyond all definition. This means that you are no longer defined by the pain and limitations of the past. You are no longer defined by your judgments, opinions or beliefs nor are you defined by the judgment, opinions or beliefs of others.

You can be sad for others but you don't have to take on their pain.

Everything that occurs in your life is part of God's plan to wake you up.

If you fully awaken, you will not know yourself. Understand this, and you will understand all.

As you awaken, the present moment becomes your home. You still play in the world of time, but you're not identified with the story unfolding there.
