You can not have an argument with a fully conscious person.

As long as you make an identity for yourself out of pain, you cannot be free of it.

Emotion in itself is not unhappiness. Only emotion plus an unhappy story is unhappiness.

Future success is dependent upon and inseparable from the consciousness out of which the actions emanate.

Nothing that was real ever died, only names, forms, and illusions.

Nothing that is of real value can be lost, only the false dissolves.

You have so much to learn from your enemies.

When you lose touch with inner stillness, you lose touch with yourself. When you lose touch with yourself, you lose yourself in the world. Your innermost sense of self, of who you are, is inseparable from stillness. This is the I Am that is deeper than name and form.

Enlightened groups can exist, as long as the individuals' sense of identity is not derived from a mentally defined image of us.

The present moment is all you ever have. There is never a time when your life is not 'this moment.' Is this not a fact?

The most decisive event in your life is when you discover you are not your thoughts or emotions. Instead, you can be present as the awareness behind the thoughts and emotions.

Don't let a mad world tell you that success is anything other than a successful present moment.

In the face of death, especially violent death, things don't make sense anymore. So death is the dissolution of either physical form or psychological form. And when a form dissolves, always something shines through that had been obscured by the form. This is the formless One Life, the formless One Consciousness.

The present moment is all you ever have.

The secret of awakening is to unconditionally accept this moment as it is.

Enthusiasm cannot be a continuous state. It comes in waves.

Life always is now, but the form the now takes changes continuously. Most people equate the form the now takes with the now itself, and so they believe there are many different moments.

My sense of identity broke down and was replaced by something that is very hard to put into words. Awareness, Consciousness.

Things are both getting better and getting worse. The madness is accelerating but an acceleration of the new consciousness is also coming in. However, this latter development is less apparent when you listen to the media. The media still mostly reflects what is happening in the sphere of the old consciousness.

Stress is wanting something to be the way it isn't.

Is there a difference between happiness and inner peace? Yes. Happiness depends on conditions being perceived as positive; inner peace does not.

Every addiction arises from an unconscious refusal to face and move through your own pain. Every addiction starts with pain and ends with pain. Whatever the substance you are addicted to - alcohol, food, legal or illegal drugs, or a person - you are using something or somebody to cover up your pain.

Wake up. Get out of your mind. Be present.
