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.

The more awake you are, the less there is of you here. At the very deepest level of Presence, you have disappeared and only God is.

One of the great dangers on the spiritual path is that the ego becomes spiritualized. The ego loves to think of itself as spiritually evolved. It is just another way that it manages to feel important and in control. It is very difficult to free yourself from an enlightened ego.

If you have a powerful enlightenment experience, do not try to hold on to it, for to do so will take you out of the present moment. You will be caught in the past. You will close the door that gave rise to the experience in the first place.

In presence, there is no right or wrong, because there is no duality. There is no judgment.

In the present moment, you are beyond all definition. This means that you are no longer defined by the pain and limitations of the past. You are no longer defined by your judgments, opinions or beliefs nor are you defined by the judgment, opinions or beliefs of others.

The truth is known in silence. Be still and know.
