    “What you want on the deepest level is who you really and truly are, already. So how do you allow the unveiling of that? How do you allow the revelation of your profound presence of being, which is the guiding light of life? By not knowing how, by letting go into trust;  by letting go completely of all trying, all doing, all thinking. And then awareness becomes foreground. The intimacy of non-separation becomes conscious and available. That’s how we find our way.” Recorded 8/20/2012 in San Francisco.

    “Whatever brings you back, right here — that’s all you need, the mirror of this moment. Can you look, and listen, free of judgments and conclusions? What’s in the mirror right now, the mirror of your seeing, the mirror of your listening? Can you just let it be, without knowing what it means; without strengthening the story of who you have believed yourself to be, but rather, letting yourself relax, unwind? Allow yourself to be open, available to receive this fullness — the mystery of our being alive.” Recorded 8/13/2012 in San Francisco.

    “I like to use the word ‘awakening’ rather than ‘awakened’. ‘Awakened’ sounds like a place that you got to, something you became; but awakening is a description of this emanation of energy and presence that we are — this radiant light of being. It’s a movement; it’s a happening. It’s an energetic aliveness.” Recorded 7/16/2012 in San Francisco.

    “Ultimately, freedom is the absence of any condition. And yet, freedom means we can return to this moment, whatever may be facing us right now, no matter how difficult, and bring our whole self to it, meet it completely with love, and compassion, and tenderness.” Recorded 7/9/2012 in San Francisco.

    “When we become free of who we think we are, we no longer live in the enclosure of the story we’ve told ourselves, but rather are freshly in this moment, alive, innocent, like a child.” Recorded 6/25/2012 in San Francisco.

    “Awakening is the discovery of your true nature. It may just be a flash; it may just be a glimpse, or a taste, or a sense. It could be fleeting. But it’s the beginning of the possibility of full aliveness, of really living from the heart.” Recorded 6/9/2012 in Santa Cruz.

    “When awakening has shown itself, you realize you are not the crazy mind, even though that may still be operating, doing its dance. But you are not that! You are this aliveness, this attention, this presence; this life force that animates this amazing form called the body. And everything gets rebalanced, everything gets reorganized… Each moment is brand new, unknown, inexplicable, mysterious, awesome, awe-inspiring.” Recorded 5/21/2012 in San Francisco.

    “Why is it that we have moments of awakening, of really seeing or sensing or recognzing oneness, but then pull back into separation, resistance, avoidance; or longing, or analyzing? What is it that pulls us back into identity, the identity of the separate drama of who we are?” Recorded 5/14/2012 in San Francisco.

    “Awakening — discovering your true nature, really intimately merging with it, even for just a flash — is the beginning of the pathless path. And that realization can set all kinds of things in motion.” Recorded 5/12/2012 in Santa Cruz.
