The awareness of our living relationship with the present moment empowers us to know what's best for us without having to think about it.

What we call the present moment, including all that appears within it, is actually a timeless Presence; it is not the outcome of the past or a door to some imagined future. Passing time is just one of the ways in which what is always present appears, but this movement of time no more defines or confines this Presence than does the rising and setting of the sun change the nature of light.

The moment perceived can't change until the one perceiving the moment changes, and the perceiver can only change, truly change, by cessation...since any other change in him is simply a reconfiguration of his own present content. But this ending, this death of self, is not death but the rebirth of another level of self.

It only seems like it's possible to avoid unwanted moments, but the truth is that your present nature is as much a part of what you don't want . . . as what it would push away.

The present moment and our awareness of it are one consciousness, much in the same way as the Eye of The Beholder shares an awareness of both the mirror, and the object it reflects.

Life wants us to know the meaning of it. It is an innate urge in us to know the meaning of our life, and it is right before us in the mirror of the present moment.

Attending to, completing what the present moment asks of you is the business of Real Life. In the silence of this relationship is revealed and received, at once, a faith no fear can shake...

Attending to and completing what the present moment asks of us is the business of Real Life. In the simplicity of this relationship is found the timeless wealth of our True Self: a faith no fear can shake, an innocence no temptation can steal, and a freedom that no unwanted moment in life can take.

The real source of the discontentment we feel in life is with our present level of understanding -- and not with what that understanding has brought to us. Life is not a series of conditions, but a manifestation of mind in Mind; our actual experience - moment to moment - is a question of consciousness, not circumstance.

Looking to your past to help you navigate your way through the challenges of present moment is like trying to drive your car on the freeway by looking only in the rear view mirror.

Letting go, at its heart, is an act of agreement with Life. It is an accord on our part with what the present moment tells us about ourselves as it unfolds before us, asking of us what it does. And what is it that Life is asking of us moment to moment? It's simple, really...

Feeling dissatisfied over what life presents in any given moment is like standing before the whole ocean and getting negative because part of you believes there's only one place to enter its waters where it's possible to enjoy yourself.
