In presence, there is no right or wrong, because there is no duality. There is no judgment.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
In the awakened state, the mind is either perfectly silent or it is a perfectly clear instrument of expression.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
THE JOURNEY IS FROM HERE TO HERE. AND THE ONLY TIME YOU CAN ARRIVE IS NOW.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
To live a present and awakened life, simply be responsive to the moment. It is very simple. If you are hungry, eat. If you are thirsty, drink. If you are lonely, call a friend for tea. If you are overwhelmed with too much company, then get away by yourself.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
The very essence of your Being is infinite, eternal silence. It is your true nature. It is the essence of all existence.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
Surrender the dream and the truth will be revealed.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
It is a mistake to imagine that you can awaken in any kind of permanent way. There is only NOW and so you can only be awake now. Even the idea of permanence is an illusion. The question to ask is 'Am I awake and fully present NOW?' That question arises and is answered in perfect silence.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
The past is gone. The future never arrives. In truth, there is no life outside of this moment!
Leonard Jacobson
Image

Beyond all experience is the one who is experiencing. Beyond all change is the One who never changes.
Leonard Jacobson

If you really know how to ask the question 'Who am I?' you will inevitably be delivered into that state of silence and pure consciousness that is your true Being. The question 'Who am I?' will ultimately deliver you into the 'I am' of you.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
The price of freedom is to allow freedom. Very few people are willing to pay the price.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
The only moment ever available to you is the present moment. Everything else is memory or imagination.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
You can live in a house, but your real home is inside you.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
If you fully awaken, you will not know yourself. Understand this, and you will understand all.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
Me, me, me! Mine, mine, mine! I'm right, I'm right, I'm right. What's in it for me? How do I use this? How do I take advantage of it? This is the way of the ego. Own this within yourself and you will begin to release yourself from it.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
Each new moment presents an opportunity for conscious choice. We can choose to let go of the past. We can choose to be here now. We can choose to accept responsibility for ourselves. . . . We can choose to awaken. Or we can choose to remain asleep and unconscious.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
What are you going to do? Are you going to keep looking backwards, full of anger, resentment and unfulfilled desire. Or are you going to be here now. Because everything is available for you in the here and now. Love, compassion, silence, bliss and Oneness.
