Quote

You get lost because you think there is somewhere to go. If you give up believing in a goal or a destination, then you cannot get lost. In the present moment, there is no destination.

The only moment ever available to you is the present moment. Everything else is memory or imagination.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
In the awakened state of Presence, aloneness becomes all-oneness.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
Awakening is about liberating yourself from the prison that is the world of the mind and daring to be here as all that you are.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
I cannot tell you anything that you don't already know, but it is known in silence.
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
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

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.

The price of freedom is to allow freedom. Very few people are willing to pay the price.

Everything that occurs in your life is an opportunity for awakening. There are no exceptions!
Leonard Jacobson
Image
Every moment you are present, there is a little less darkness in our world.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
The more awake you are, the less there is of you here. At the very deepest level of Presence, you have disappeared and only God is.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
If you fully awaken, you will not know yourself. Understand this, and you will understand all.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
THE JOURNEY IS FROM HERE TO HERE. AND THE ONLY TIME YOU CAN ARRIVE IS NOW.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
As you transition from the past and future world of the mind to the awakened world of now, you will begin to experience yourself in an entirely new way. A way that is free of the pain and limitations of the past, and free of anxiety about the future. And you will begin to experience the abundance that is ever present in each moment.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
If your commitment is to being present, then there will come a time when being present becomes your natural state. The present moment becomes your home. You will have short excursions into the world of the mind, but you never go so far into the mind that you get lost there.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
When you are truly present, you illuminate everything around you.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
You can be sad for others but you don't have to take on their pain.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
True power arises in knowing what you want, knowing what you don't want, expressing it clearly and lovingly without attachment to the outcome.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
It's not them, it's you. It's not there, it's here. It's not then, it's now.
