More quotes by 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
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
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
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
The price of freedom is to allow freedom. Very few people are willing to pay the price.
Leonard Jacobson
The only moment ever available to you is the present moment. Everything else is memory or imagination.
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
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
Every moment you are present, there is a little less darkness in our world.
Leonard Jacobson
When you awaken, you will see that this is Heaven on Earth, and everything in physical form is the body of God.
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 very essence of your Being is infinite, eternal silence. It is your true nature. It is the essence of all existence.
Leonard Jacobson
You can live in a house, but your real home is inside you.
Leonard Jacobson
Surrender the dream and the truth will be revealed.
Leonard Jacobson
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.
Leonard Jacobson
You can be sad for others but you don't have to take on their pain.
Leonard Jacobson
It disguises it’s thoughts as your thoughts, it’s feelings with your feelings, you think it’s you.
Leonard Jacobson
I cannot tell you anything that you don't already know, but it is known in silence.
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
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.
