Vuélvase intensamente con-sciente del momento presente. Esto es algo profundamente satisfactorio. De esa forma usted aparta la conciencia de la actividad de su mente y crea una brecha de no-mente en la que usted está muy alerta y consciente, pero no pensando. Esa es la esencia de la meditación.

Cuando tu conciencia se dirige hacia fuera, surgen la mente y el mundo. Cuando se dirige hacia dentro, alcanza su propia Fuente y regresa a casa, a lo No Manifestado.

If you get the inside right, the outside will fall into place. Primary reality is within, secondary reality without.

The stronger the ego, the more time takes over your life. Almost every thought you think is then concerned with past or future, and your sense of self depends on the past for your identity and on the future for its fulfillment.

When you resume thinking, it will be fresh and creative.
