More quotes by 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
In the awakened state, the mind is either perfectly silent or it is a perfectly clear instrument of expression.
Leonard Jacobson
You can live in a house, but your real home is inside you.
Leonard Jacobson
If you really know how to ask the question 'Who am I?' you will inevitably be delivered into that state of silence and pure consciousness that is your true Being. The question 'Who am I?' will ultimately deliver you into the 'I am' of you.
Leonard Jacobson
Your gift to God is honesty. God's gift to you is truth.
Leonard Jacobson
Surrender the dream and the truth will be revealed.
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
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
We are on a journey of becoming that which we already are. That is the impossible paradox of our lives.
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
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
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
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 JOURNEY IS FROM HERE TO HERE. AND THE ONLY TIME YOU CAN ARRIVE IS NOW.
Leonard Jacobson
In presence, there is no right or wrong, because there is no duality. There is no judgment.
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 underlying motivation that drives all addiction is our insistence on avoiding pain. However, the pain you are avoiding is based in the past, and has nothing to do with the present moment.
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
When you are truly present, you illuminate everything around you.
