You cannot be present in an abstract way. Presence is not about disappearing into nothingness. You can only be present with something that is actually here.

More quotes by Leonard Jacobson
When you are truly present, you illuminate everything around you.
Leonard Jacobson
Your gift to God is honesty. God's gift to you is truth.
Leonard Jacobson
How does silence find its way out of that noisy, chattering mind? That endless maze of thought, concept, opinion, belief? How does perfect silence and pure consciousness find its way out of that maze? Very simply: Bring yourself present with something that's HERE, in the moment. Then you'll be HERE again.
Leonard Jacobson
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
You can live in a house, but your real home is inside you.
Leonard Jacobson
You can be sad for others but you don't have to take on their pain.
Leonard Jacobson
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.
Leonard Jacobson
It is far wiser to ask for a question than an answer. When you think you have all the answers, it simply means you have run out of questions.
Leonard Jacobson
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
Every moment you are present, there is a little less darkness in our world.
Leonard Jacobson
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
The only moment ever available to you is the present moment. Everything else is memory or imagination.
Leonard Jacobson
When you learn to take responsibility for yourselves, then you will start taking responsibility for the planet. The planet is being destroyed by your abandonment of responsibility. You assume that you own the planet. And ownership confers upon you the right to do as you like. You do not own this beautiful planet. You are simply a guest here.
Leonard Jacobson
Surrender the dream and the truth will be revealed.
Leonard Jacobson
In presence, there is no right or wrong, because there is no duality. There is no judgment.
Leonard Jacobson
When you are fully present, you transcend duality and open into Oneness. In Presence, there is power without opposition. There is love without hate, acceptance without judgment and allowing without control.
Leonard Jacobson
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
The price of freedom is to allow freedom. Very few people are willing to pay the price.
Leonard Jacobson
I cannot tell you anything that you don't already know, but it is known in 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.
