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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

When you are truly present, you illuminate everything around you.

The very essence of your Being is infinite, eternal silence. It is your true nature. It is the essence of all existence.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
In presence, there is no right or wrong, because there is no duality. There is no judgment.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
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
Image
We are on a journey of becoming that which we already are. That is the impossible paradox of our lives.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
There is no greater power than the power of love, which arises from Presence. It overcomes all resistance.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
The only moment ever available to you is the present moment. Everything else is memory or imagination.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
When you awaken, you will see that this is Heaven on Earth, and everything in physical form is the body of God.

I cannot tell you anything that you don't already know, but it is known in silence.
