The 'soul' is one of the words you can use to talk about your innermost being, the essence of who you are.
- Religion
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You can have religion with spirituality. You can also have religion without spirituality.
- Mind
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The mind is a superb instrument if used rightly. Used wrongly, however, it becomes very destructive. To put it more accurately... you usually don't use it at all. It uses you.
- Moment
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The answer is, who you are cannot be defined through thinking or mental labels or definitions, because it's beyond that. It is the very sense of being, or presence, that is there when you become conscious of the present moment. In essence, you and what we call the present moment are, at the deepest level, one.
- Pain
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If danger arises in the present moment, there may be an emotion. There may even be pain. But that's a challenge, not a problem. For a problem to exist, you need time and repetitive mind activity.
- Just
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Was Jesus the son of God? Yes. But so are you. You just haven't realized it yet.
- Let Go
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If there are people you haven't forgiven, you're not going to really awaken. You have to let go.
- Universe
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You are the universe, you aren't in the universe.
- Problem
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You are not a problem that needs solving.
- Nov 07, 2020
If small things have the power to disturb you, then who you think you are is exactly that: small.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Life is an adventure, it's not a package tour.
- Power
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
To complain is always nonacceptance of what is. It invariably carries an unconscious negative charge. When you complain, you make yourself into a victim. When you speak out, you are in your power. So change the situation by taking action or by speaking out if necessary or possible; leave the situation or accept it. All else is madness.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Wherever you are, be there totally. If you find your here and now intolerable and it makes you unhappy, you have three options: remove yourself from the situation, change it, or accept it totally. If you want to take responsibility for your life, you must choose one of those three options, and you must choose now. Then accept the consequences.
- Power
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Is fear preventing you from taking action? Acknowledge the fear, watch it, take your attention into it, be fully present with it. Doing so cuts the link between the fear and your thinking. Don't let the fear rise up into your mind. Use the power of the Now. Fear cannot prevail against it.
- Intelligence
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't believe in an outside agent that creates the world, then walks away. But I feel very strongly there is an intelligence at work in every flower, in every blade of grass, in every cell of my body. And it is that intelligence that, I wouldn't say created the universe. It is creating the universe. It's an ongoing process.

- Nov 07, 2020
Realize deeply that the present moment is all you ever have. Make the Now the primary focus of your life.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Always say 'yes' to the present moment... Surrender to what is. Say 'yes' to life - and see how life starts suddenly to start working for you rather than against you.
- Past
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There is a fine balance between honoring the past and losing yourself in it. For example, you can acknowledge and learn from mistakes you made, and then move on and refocus on the now. It is called forgiving yourself.
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The power for creating a better future is contained in the present moment: You create a good future by creating a good present.
- Future
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Discontent, blaming, complaining, self-pity cannot serve as a foundation for a good future, no matter how much effort you make.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It is through gratitude for the present moment that the spiritual dimension of life opens up.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Many people in this world are still so identified with every thought that arises in their head. There is not the slightest space of awareness there.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I sometimes ask people, 'Can you be aware of your own presence? Not the thoughts that you're having, not the emotions that you're having, but the very presence of your very being?' You become aware of your own presence by sensing the entire energy field in your body that is alive. And that is the totality of your presence.
- Memories
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Memories are thoughts that arise. They're not realities. Only when you believe that they are real, then they have the power over you. But when you realize it's just another thought arising about the past, then you can have a spacious relationship with that thought. The thought no longer has you in its grip.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The real truths of life are never entirely new to you or to anybody because there is a level deep down within you where you already know all the things, all those spiritual truths that you read or hear, and then recognize them. I say 'recognize' because you're not... it's not new.
- Mind
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If the structures of the human mind remain unchanged, we will always end up re-creating the same world, the same evils, the same dysfunction.
- Moment
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When you take your attention into the present moment, a certain alertness arises. You become more conscious of what's around you, but also, strangely, a sense of presence that is both within and without.
- Only
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The only thing you ever have is now.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Some people awaken spiritually without ever coming into contact with any meditation technique or any spiritual teaching. They may awaken simply because they can't stand the suffering anymore.
- More
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
That is the real spiritual awakening, when something emerges from within you that is deeper than who you thought you were. So, the person is still there, but one could almost say that something more powerful shines through the person.
- Mind
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You can always cope with the present moment, but you cannot cope with something that is only a mind projection - you cannot cope with the future.
- Ego
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Because of its phantom nature, and despite elaborate defense mechanisms, the ego is very vulnerable and insecure, and it sees itself as constantly under threat. This, by the way, is the case even if the ego is outwardly very confident.
- Failure
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Fear seems to have many causes. Fear of loss, fear of failure, fear of being hurt, and so on, but ultimately all fear is the ego's fear of death, of annihilation. To the ego, death is always just around the corner. In this mind-identified state, fear of death affects every aspect of your life.
- Over
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Power over others is weakness disguised as strength.
- Peace
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Acceptance looks like a passive state, but in reality it brings something entirely new into this world. That peace, a subtle energy vibration, is consciousness.
- Moment
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Narrow your life down to this moment. Your life situation may be full of problems - most life situations are - but find out if you have a problem at this moment. Do you have a problem now?
- Mistake
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Any action is often better than no action, especially if you have been stuck in an unhappy situation for a long time. If it is a mistake, at least you learn something, in which case it's no longer a mistake. If you remain stuck, you learn nothing.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Most humans are never fully present in the now, because unconsciously they believe that the next moment must be more important than this one. But then you miss your whole life, which is never not now.
- Culture
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If you live only in one culture for the first 20 years of your life, you become conditioned without knowing it.
- Moment
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Most people treat the present moment as if it were an obstacle that they need to overcome. Since the present moment is life itself, it is an insane way to live.
- Mind
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
People don't realize that now is all there ever is; there is no past or future except as memory or anticipation in your mind.
- Problems
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Many people identify their sense of self with the problems they have, or think they have.
- Happiness
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
People look to time in expectation that it will eventually make them happy, but you cannot find true happiness by looking toward the future.
