Everything that happens is designed to awaken us. Everything.

It's not them, it's you. It's not there, it's here. It's not then, it's now.

True power arises in knowing what you want, knowing what you don't want, expressing it clearly and lovingly without attachment to the outcome.

The truth is uncompromising.

If your commitment is to being present, then there will come a time when being present becomes your natural state. The present moment becomes your home. You will have short excursions into the world of the mind, but you never go so far into the mind that you get lost there.

The fact that we are aware of ourselves is both our greatest curse and also our greatest blessing.

As each one of us awakens, it is like a light going on, followed by another light, another light, and another light. The darkness of human unconsciousness is slowly, gradually and gently lit, until there comes a day when there is more light than dark, more consciousness than unconsciousness , more joy than pain, ...more truth than illusion. That would indeed be a day for celebration.
