Enjoy the struggle. There is no other path.

Imagine we could recognize and visualize the flow of our present emotions. Imagine to observe them, calmly, peacefully, openly. Just observe What effect would that have on your body awareness? Observe... Know also that you have this ability right now: the ability to allow your present emotions

There is nobody in this moment that could be managing sensations. It’s enough to see this clearly. Observe what happens when it is seen.

You cannot reach what-is. You cannot change it either. It already is. What-is IS what is: it’s happening

It’s impossible to reflect on the present. Let that sink in… The actual act of being (Life) and reflective thoughts about it don’t coexist.

No one is aware or not. Awareness just is.

You know that truth and love will set you free, my love. And You are still knowing it.

Find the one to whom you feel you have to prove something fundamentally about yourself. Look for the one who seems to be behind this impression.

Whatever was. Whatever is. Whatever will be. No judgement of what was. No judgement of what is. No judgement of what will be.

Am I not as I should be right now? In this moment. Are you not as you should be right now? In this moment.

Should I really let my mind punish and reward me by labeling me a winner or a loser, just to be more motivated? Should I assume that I am a loser as a default, just to stay motivated all the time, without ever knowing if I am good enough? Am I not exactly as I should be right now, in this moment?

Reality is empty of 'losers' and 'winners'. It has no 'failures' and 'successes' Such labels are mental survival strategies to be more safe, more loved, more right, but ultimately they create nothing The mental construct pushes and threatens us. It’s just a punishment and reward system by the mind

It doesn’t matter how you think you will react; what matters is how you will react in the face of it? With love or with hate? With acceptance or aversion? With optimism or pessimism?

When we feel the present sensations as clearly as possible, the senses become unobscured again, undistorted by thoughts. We realize the truth of this moment. The interpretations of the mind are the deceiver, not the present sensations of the body.

God won’t release us from our divine duty to acknowledge the truth of the present until we acknowledge the truth of the present.

If you strive for integrity above all else, you may mentally prepare yourself to be drawn away from occasions that previously seemed to be so exciting and important to you Suddenly, those activities feel hollow and meaningless This is the price of reintegration: actual, undeniable self-recognition

You don’t need to know anything about reality to experience it as clearly as possible now. The present sounds need nothing. The present sight needs nothing. The present feelings need nothing. Everything is already given.

This may sound unbelievable, but you haven’t yet experienced anything essentially wrong. Reality is not wrong in its essence. To see this clearly, just look.

No one can teach you how to hear the sounds that you are hearing right now. No one can teach you how to see the scene that you are seeing right now. No one can teach you how to feel the feelings that you are feeling right now. Enlightenment cannot be taught to you.

The self-image is imagined. Its value is imagined too. What You ARE is immeasurable.

Life is not a casting call and you are not an actor. This moment has no jury.

What others are thinking about you…

Imaginations about God are not God. God, however, is. He is, obviously. He is here. Now.

Reconnect with it again. In this moment. You know the meaning of "it".

Your expectations on yourself are not yours.

Facing the present emotions is part of facing the true Self, but know that there is nothing to be afraid of or ashamed of. Free, harmless energy in the body.

You may feel that something is missing because you expect something more than the reality of this moment to be. But there is not more, my love.

This is what is left of my whole spiritual journey… Rain drops on the surface of a river. Their sounds, so close.

Do you really want to forbid this body, this mind, and these feelings from taking part in this world? Don’t let yourself be deceived by the mind Have faith instead

My social expectations of myself do not make me feel more safe or whole At some point, my life began to turn endlessly around my self-image, which is increasingly distracting me from my true, present self The survival strategies of my inner "advisor"—judge yourself and seek validation—cripple me

Sometimes we wish we could go back to the time when we ignored our feelings and finally present ourself again as 'good' or 'cool' or whatever we think is beneficial. But once we are on the path of truth, we are on the path of truth.

To be aware, in this moment, of all the sensations in the body’s movement and its excitement.

Let the music and your body’s movement make you more conscious of the sensations, not less conscious.

When the whole sense of being is a reflection of the present.

You are not a performance. You are so much more.

We long for honesty and true acknowledgement, not for falsity. So see her as you see her, not as you think she wants to be seen. Just see her. See him as you see him, not as you think he wants to be seen. Just see him.

The longer the present experience is experienced as it is, the deeper it can heal into itself (into that which it is).

We can only become fully aware of this moment again if we are willing to tolerate/suffer what is hidden beneath its surface, namely a lot of unpleasant feelings.

The many moments when we tried to betray ourself requires only one moment—this moment—to end it.

Sometimes this present moment is like this. Sometimes this present moment is like that.

The undivided is at no distance to itself.

Express by what you actually see within you, in this moment, not by what you wish to see or by what you think is supposed to be. No, stay with whatever is.

Nothing, experiencing itself as everything, in all facets, colors, and sounds. In the entire spectrum of itself.

The only moment that you can find your integrity—you as you actually are—and your wholeness—everything being one, not two—is now.

Become calm with whatever is. Become utterly peaceful. Refuse to fight against your sensations. Become undivided.

The only being as which I can recognize myself—by my present senses—is the being that is now That whichever is happening Whatever is now is reality being reality and nothing can be apart from reality, for there is only One, not two

Your true life is not the story that your mind has created about you You are not forever cursed to either rewrite it or to surpass the imagined stories about others Life is not a correction. It is not a struggle for superior grandiosity either Your actual life is what is happening, in this moment

It's not that easy to have faith, because faith means to no longer oppose whatever the future might bring It is the end of fear, because no matter what "undesirable" future experiences the mind may imagine, our "yes" to God's will is stronger

It‘s difficult to have faith, because faith means saying already now "Yes" to whatever the future may bring. Essentially, it‘s a surrender to this present moment too.

We can still go ahead in fear, but we cannot go ahead in resignation Excitement: „Let’s do this“ (energy) Fear: …, but it could turn out differently“ (aversion) Pessimism: …, but it will most likely not work out“ (blockage) Resignation: …, but it will definitely not turn out good“ (desperation)
