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.

When you are present, you are transcendent of the mind and ego and so you can witness your mind and ego. You can be conscious of your thoughts without being lost in them when they arise.

If you’re truly present in this moment, then you are a Buddha. At least for this moment!

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.

I cannot tell you anything that you don't already know, but it is known in silence.

The fact that we are aware of ourselves is both our greatest curse and also our greatest blessing.

Only when you can accept that you are alone, will you discover that you are not alone.
