Notable quotes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

• \u201cRealize deeply that the present moment is all you have. Make the NOW the primary focus of your life.\u201d<\/li>
• \u201cTime isn\u2019t precious at all, because it is an illusion. What you perceive as precious is not time but the one point that is out of time: the Now. That is precious indeed. The more you are focused on time\u2014past and future\u2014the more you miss the Now, the most precious thing there is.\u201d<\/li>
• \u201cI have lived with several Zen masters — all of them cats.\u201d<\/li>
• \u201cAny 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.\u201d<\/li>
• \u201cIt is not uncommon for people to spend their whole life waiting to start living.\u201d<\/li>
• \u201cIf you get the inside right, the outside will fall into place. Primary reality is within; secondary reality without.\u201d<\/li>
• \u201c…the past gives you an identity and the future holds the promise of salvation, of fulfillment in whatever form. Both are illusions.\u201d<\/li>
• \u201cSee if you can catch yourself complaining, in either speech or thought, about a situation you find yourself in, what other people do or say, your surroundings, your life situation, even the weather. 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.\u201d<\/li>
• \u201cAs soon as you honor the present moment, all unhappiness and struggle dissolve, and life begins to flow with joy and ease. When you act out the present-moment awareness, whatever you do becomes imbued with a sense of quality, care, and love – even the most simple action.\u201d<\/li>
• \u201cIf your mind carries a heavy burden of past, you will experience more of the same. The past perpetuates itself through a lack of presence. The quality of your consciousness at this moment is what shapes the future.\u201d<\/li>
• \u201cDon’t look for peace. Don’t look for any other state than the one you are in now; otherwise, you will set up inner conflict and unconscious resistance. Forgive yourself for not being at peace. The moment you completely accept your non-peace, your non-peace becomes transmuted into peace. Anything you accept fully will get you there and will take you into peace. This is the miracle of surrender\u201d<\/li>
• \u201cWhat a caterpillar calls the end of the world we call a butterfly.\u201d<\/li>
• \u201cNothing has happened in the past; it happened in the Now. Nothing will ever happen in the future; it will happen in the Now.\u201d<\/li>
• \u201cWhere there is anger there is always pain underneath.\u201d<\/li>
• \u201cYour outer journey may contain a million steps; your inner journey only has one: the step you are taking right now.\u201d<\/li>
• \u201cOnce you have identified with some form of negativity, you do not want to let it go, and on a deeply unconscious level, you do not want positive change. It would threaten your identity as a depressed, angry, or hard-done by person. You will then ignore, deny or sabotage the positive in your life. This is a common phenomenon. It is also insane.\u201d<\/li>
• \u201cReading is my passion and my escape since I was 5 years old. Overall, children don’t realize the magic that can live inside their own heads. Better even than any movie.\u201d<\/li>
• \u201cDie to the past every moment. You don’t need it. Only refer to it when it is absolutely relevant to the present. Feel the power of this moment and the fullness of Being. Feel your presence.\u201d<\/li>
• \u201cAccept \u2014 then act. Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it. Always work with it, not against it. Make it your friend and ally, not your enemy. This will miraculously transform your whole life.\u201d<\/li>
• \u201cBeing an outsider to some extent, someone who does not “fit in” with others or is rejected by them for whatever reason, makes life difficult, but it also places you at an advantage as far as enlightenment is concerned. It takes you out of unconsciousness almost by force.\u201d<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
