The power of NOW

NOTES (Chapter one - Introduction)

• The moment you start watching the thinker, the higher level of consciousness gets activated.
• All the beauty arise from beyond the mind.
• You see and judge the present through the eyes of the past and get a totally distorted view.
• Listen to the voice in your head; do not judge or condemn, as doing so brings the same voice back through the backdoor. CONCLUSION: Here's the voice, and here I AM listening to it, the "I AM" is your true being.
  
• When thoughts subsides, you witness a discontinuity in the mental stream, a gap of no mind.
• Kill your ego; your not your race, identity or relationships.
• Don't be scared to unfold what is in the dark, and sacrifice what is in the light.
• Desires are short term gratifications of the ego.
• Love, like drugs, are a two sided coins; love vs. hate, high vs. crash.

NOTES (Chapter two - Consciousness: The way out of pain)

• The mind wants to deny the NOW, because it can not function and remain in control without time, past & future, so it perceives the timeless (NOW) as threatening.
• Die before you die; then realize there is no death.
• Stop pain is stopping time, which is fundamentally based on the belief that the only time you have is NOW.
• Always work with the NOW, as an allay, not an enemy.
• The pain body only feed on pain; and you will seek further pain. It is the dark shadow cast by the ego, is afraid of the light of your consciousness. Its survival is depends on your unconscious identification with it.
• All pain is ultimately an illusion.

NOTES (Chapter three - Moving deeply into the now)

• Don't seek yourself in your mind.
• End the illusion of time: the mind and time are insuperable.
  
• Don't let the past give you your identity, and the future gives you salvation; both are illusions.
  
• The moon is the illusion; the sun is consciousness.
• Goal: Intense conscious being.
• THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS THAT ULTIMATE SENSE OF CONSCIOUSNESS (HEAVEN?)
• What, at this moment, is lacking?
• There's no greater obstacle to god, than time.
• Suffering needs time; it cannot survive in the now.
  
• There is no greater obstacle to god, than time.
  
• Some people get mad when you tell them that there are no problems; you are attacking their identity that they have falsely created for themselves.
