When you are caught in the mind, your past defines you. When you are present, you are beyond definition.

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

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

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

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.

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