Image
The past is gone. The future never arrives. In truth, there is no life outside of this moment!
Leonard Jacobson
Image
In the awakened state of Presence, aloneness becomes all-oneness.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
You spend very little time in the present moment. Reality exists only in the present moment. Therefore you spend very little time in reality.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
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
Image
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
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.

Image
I cannot tell you anything that you don't already know, but it is known in silence.
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
It disguises it’s thoughts as your thoughts, it’s feelings with your feelings, you think it’s you.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
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 far wiser to ask for a question than an answer. When you think you have all the answers, it simply means you have run out of questions.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
Beyond all experience is the one who is experiencing. Beyond all change is the One who never changes.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
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
Image
It's not them, it's you. It's not there, it's here. It's not then, it's now.
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.
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
In the awakened state, the mind is either perfectly silent or it is a perfectly clear instrument of expression.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
You get lost because you think there is somewhere to go. If you give up believing in a goal or a destination, then you cannot get lost. In the present moment, there is no destination.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
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

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.
