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
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
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
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
In presence, there is no right or wrong, because there is no duality. There is no judgment.
Leonard Jacobson
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
In the present moment, you are beyond all definition. This means that you are no longer defined by the pain and limitations of the past. You are no longer defined by your judgments, opinions or beliefs nor are you defined by the judgment, opinions or beliefs of others.
Leonard Jacobson
The price of freedom is to allow freedom. Very few people are willing to pay the price.
Leonard Jacobson
Every moment you are present, there is a little less darkness in our world.
Leonard Jacobson
One of the great dangers on the spiritual path is that the ego becomes spiritualized. The ego loves to think of itself as spiritually evolved. It is just another way that it manages to feel important and in control. It is very difficult to free yourself from an enlightened ego.
Leonard Jacobson
Surrender the dream and the truth will be revealed.
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
Beyond all experience is the one who is experiencing. Beyond all change is the One who never changes.
Leonard Jacobson
The very essence of your Being is infinite, eternal silence. It is your true nature. It is the essence of all existence.
Leonard Jacobson
In the awakened state of Presence, aloneness becomes all-oneness.
Leonard Jacobson
In the awakened state, the mind is either perfectly silent or it is a perfectly clear instrument of expression.
Leonard Jacobson
I cannot tell you anything that you don't already know, but it is known in silence.
Leonard Jacobson
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
You spend very little time in the present moment. Reality exists only in the present moment. Therefore you spend very little time in reality.
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.
