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.

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.

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.

Projecting into the future with hopes, dreams and desires can never fulfill you. Only the present moment can fulfill you.

It disguises it’s thoughts as your thoughts, it’s feelings with your feelings, you think it’s you.

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

You can be sad for others but you don't have to take on their pain.

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.
