Before you can learn how to change your destiny, you must first realize that secret place within yourself where your own future is created. You must consciously enter that place of power where all of your life-choices are made for you. It's called the Present Moment: The Now. And this Now is the seed of all that comes later. The following paragraph helps us see into this great mystery. It's o...

One sure measure of spiritual growth is found in our developing awareness that each and every present moment of our lives is a special kind of spiritual looking glass.

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, all at once, the wisdom and wealth of your True Self...

Part 1 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, the wisdom and wealth of your True Self. A few of these timeless riches include: a faith no fear can shake, an innocence no temptation can break, and a freedom that no unwanted moment in life can ever take from you. **...

Worrying over any problem seen as gathering in the distance -- in order to avoid feeling disturbed by it in the present moment -- is a lot like throwing cold water all over yourself so that then you can have the pleasure of wrapping yourself up in a warm towel!...

Even though we do not know we are doing it, most of our time is spent in the futile activity of trying to free ourselves from pain. The pain can take many different forms--the cutting remark someone just said, a sudden memory of a time when you "failed", or the thought of what you have to do today.

The true door of perception opens... only into the unknown.

If we work each moment to practice kindness, patience, and persistence -- doing so in grateful remembrance that each breath we take is a gift -- here's what we'll find: the power of being present in this way ensures that each of our "tomorrows" dawns with more Light than was seen this day.

It's widely believed that psychological pain is a natural response to encountering an unwanted moment, but the true –and secret – source of this pain is an unseen conflict inherent in our present level of consciousness itself; the truth is that the "self" that suffers this pain is revealed by unwanted conditions – not created by them.

Part 1 The faster the mind moves, the further away we travel from where we really want to be. Part 2 The spiritual light we need -- to do and to be right in each passing moment -- is always present; what's missing (most of the time) is our willingness to stand within it!...

When we will be present to ourselves, quietly watchful of the relationship that is always unfolding in the Presence moment, then we have no more need to prepare for what life will bring to us than a newly opened rose needs ready itself for the warmth of the sun that comes to release its fragrance.

The inner journey that leads to a life no longer bound by painful unwanted moments -- including their ever-present fears and doubts -- has one prerequisite: along the Way we must agree to walk through any gate above which reads this sign: enter here to meet whatever limits your right to be free.
