#awareness

To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.

Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.

What need have they of light to see what you are doing?

Free from desire, you realize the mystery. Caught in desire, you see only the manifestations.

To put it another way: God is the most obvious thing in the world, so obvious that we look right past Him.

Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.

You are an aperture through which the universe is looking at and exploring itself.

To know that which you know, and that which you do not know—this is the true nature of understanding.

He who has not the spirit of philosophy will wander through life as a stranger in his own home.

Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response.

To be conscious that we are perceiving or thinking is to be conscious of our own existence.

No one can become fully aware of the very essence of another human being unless he loves him.

We notice only what we have names for, and pass by the rest unseen.

It is as easy to deceive oneself without perceiving it as it is difficult to deceive others without being found out.

The highest form of human intelligence is to observe without evaluating.

You do not have to struggle to reach God, but you do have to struggle to tear away the self-created veil that hides Him from you.

If you begin to understand what you are without trying to change it, then what you are undergoes a transformation.

The observer is the observed.

To look without judgment is the greatest meditation.

Fear ends where total awareness begins.

The treasure you seek is hidden in your attention.

The mind is everything. What you think you become.

Rest in the silence of your own pure awareness.

Realize deeply that the present moment is all you have. Make the NOW the primary focus of your life.

You are awareness. Awareness is another name for you. Since you are awareness there is no need to attain or cultivate it.

Be what you are: pure, radiant, eternal awareness.

Awareness has no birth, no death, and no division.

Live without anxiety, knowing that pure Awareness sustains all.

All differences vanish in the ocean of Awareness.

Be true to your own radiant awareness.
