The price of freedom is to allow freedom. Very few people are willing to pay the price.

Wanting others to love you, you give away your heart. Wanting others to see you, you give away your eyes.

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

Awakening is about liberating yourself from the prison that is the world of the mind and daring to be here as all that you are.

In the awakened state of Presence, aloneness becomes all-oneness.

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 truly present, you illuminate everything around you.
