Everything that occurs in your life is an opportunity for awakening. There are no exceptions!

When you are truly present, you illuminate everything around you.

In the awakened state, the mind is either perfectly silent or it is a perfectly clear instrument of expression.

When you awaken, you know that everything that occurs at the level of mind is illusory in nature and so you no longer believe in it as the truth of life. It is sometimes happy and sometimes sad, because it is a world of duality. You relax and accept the dual nature of the world of the mind and the world of experience within time. This will create balance within duality which will open the doorway to Oneness.

It is not until you awaken and become fully present that you will realize that you have not been present. It is not until you awaken that you will realize you have been asleep, dreaming that you are awake.

We are on a journey of becoming that which we already are. That is the impossible paradox of our lives.

Waking up is not serious. It is a gentle remembering and an honoring of the present moment as the truth of life.
