It's not them, it's you. It's not there, it's here. It's not then, it's now.

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
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.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
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
Image
In presence, there is no right or wrong, because there is no duality. There is no judgment.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
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.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
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.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
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.

Beyond all experience is the one who is experiencing. Beyond all change is the One who never changes.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
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
Image
THE JOURNEY IS FROM HERE TO HERE. AND THE ONLY TIME YOU CAN ARRIVE IS NOW.
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.

When you are truly present, you illuminate everything around you.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
Your gift to God is honesty. God's gift to you is truth.
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.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
You can be sad for others but you don't have to take on their pain.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
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
Image
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.
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 very essence of your Being is infinite, eternal silence. It is your true nature. It is the essence of all existence.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
I cannot tell you anything that you don't already know, but it is known in silence.
