Any product of the mind is a reaction of the past, a synthesis of what is old.
lying self judging
When you observe yourself you must not condemn or approve what you see. If you tell a lie there is no need to judge your-self.

You can experience consciousness now by experiencing the fact that you exist.

truth mind littles
It is a little known fact that truth cannot be memorized. Truth has to be discovered now, from moment to moment. It is always fresh, always new, always there for the still, innocent mind that has experienced life without needing to hold on to what has gone before.
discovery self mind
Nothing is true in self-discovery unless it is true in your own experience. This is the only protection against the robot levels of the mind.
time reality forever
There is only one thing in your life YOU can be sure of. That one thing is this moment, now. The last moment has gone forever. The next moment has not come. YOU can become fully conscious only when you are living in the moment. To begin to live in the moment you have to know it exists and understand it. To understand it you have to observe it in relation to yourself and in relation to life. When you understand it, when you become conscious, you will see it is all that exists. To see this is to glimpse reality.

Love is all around you like the air, and is the very breath of your being.
mind truth-love beauty-love
To experience beauty, love, truth and peace, or God, your mind has to be stilled.
life beautiful long
Feelings are constantly changing. None is dependable for long. You can love someone intensely today, and tomorrow or next month not feel a thing. Except perhaps for the feeling of doubt or depression that what was so beautiful could change so quickly.
purpose existence needed
The whole purpose of existence is to bring love into existence where it is needed.
life love-you love-is
Love is the state of enlightenment and enlightenment is the state of love. You can't make any separation between them. Enlightenment is the state of no feelings and pure knowledge and so is love.
life independent love-is
Love is a power, a mighty principle that exists in its own right independent of any individual. Man changes, but the principle of love does not and cannot. Love does not leave men and women. Men and women leave love.
