When you learn to take responsibility for yourselves, then you will start taking responsibility for the planet. The planet is being destroyed by your abandonment of responsibility. You assume that you own the planet. And ownership confers upon you the right to do as you like. You do not own this beautiful planet. You are simply a guest here.

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

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

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 only moment ever available to you is the present moment. Everything else is memory or imagination.

True awakening involves embracing every aspect of yourself with love and acceptance, including everything you have been denying, hiding or trying to fix. To deny these things is a judgment of them and judgment will keep you forever imprisoned within separation.

You 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.
