...what the planet and humanity need most is a shift in consciousness, a spiritual awakening. Without it, we perpetuate the insanity of the past (which we can see most clearly in the history of the 20th century) or, at best, we only treat the symptoms of the disease, not the underlying cause. The disease, of course, is the collective dysfunction of the egoic mind.

Don't be trapped for the rest of your life within the narrow confines of your personal history and your conditioned personality and allow your life to be transformed from within, through the power of consciousness itself.

—Eckhart Tolle

In other words, all of my (writings) are lies. They are simply maps of a territory, shadows of a reality, gray symbols dragging their bellies across the dead page, suffocated signs full of muffled sound and faded glory, signifying absolutely nothing. And it is the nothing, the Mystery, the Emptiness alone that needs to be realized: not known but felt, not thought but breathed, not an object but an atmosphere, not a lesson but a life. —Ken Wilber

Rumi

Many have waited for years around that door, but tomorrow never comes. The Sufi is the Child of the Present Moment.

Awareness is the silent and choiceless observation of what is.

The forms of life are like a reflecting surface. Reality always IS, and in it consciousness manifests as an infinite number of forms.
The entire universe is a manifestation of that conscious intelligence.
When you look around and see the trees, the birds, the animals, and all the other forms of nature, you are consciousness seeing yourself. Enjoy your manifestation as long as it lasts!

True love is an acceptance of all that is, that has been, that will or even will not be.
