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.
Leonard JacobsonThere is no greater power than the power of love, which arises from Presence. It overcomes all resistance.
Leonard JacobsonIf youโre truly present in this moment, then you are a Buddha. At least for this moment!
Leonard JacobsonYou don't realize that if you stop looking backwards craving the love and acceptance which you didn't receive from your parents, then you might open your eyes to what is available for you now. But you won't let go. If only you could see that looking back into an incomplete and imperfect past, with regret, blame, guilt or resentment is keeping you from the treasures that await you here now. The past has gone. You cannot rectify something that is no longer with you.
