More than anything else, judgment will take you out of the present moment. It will take you out of Oneness into separation. Whenever judgment arises within you, just notice it. Acknowledge it. Confess it. It is just an energy arising within you. Do not judge it or try to get rid of it. Just bring it to consciousness with love, acceptance and compassion. In this way, judgment will be transformed into love.
Leonard JacobsonThe past is gone. The future never arrives. In truth, there is no life outside of this moment!
Leonard JacobsonI cannot tell you anything that you don't already know, but it is known in silence.
Leonard JacobsonWaking up is not serious. It is a gentle remembering and an honoring of the present moment as the truth of life.
Leonard JacobsonYou cannot be present in an abstract way. Presence is not about disappearing into nothingness. You can only be present with something that is actually here.
Leonard JacobsonHow does silence find its way out of that noisy, chattering mind? That endless maze of thought, concept, opinion, belief? How does perfect silence and pure consciousness find its way out of that maze? Very simply: Bring yourself present with something that's HERE, in the moment. Then you'll be HERE again.
