A Call to Presence
"To be fully awake and enlightened simply means to be fully present in the moment of now. To be present is the simplest thing. It is your natural state.
Every moment, you have a choice. Will you be present in the truth and reality of this moment or will you allow yourself to be seduced into the world of the mind? All thoughts take you out of the present moment. And then if you believe in those thoughts, which most of us do, you get lost in the world of the mind.
For most of us, we have become so habituated to thinking, that now thoughts never end. They have a life of their own. We are not even choosing to think. Thinking is happening all by itself and we are simply pulled from one thought to another, never really experiencing the sacredness of this moment.
The present moment is free of memories of the past and imaginings into the future. And so the pain and limitations of the past magically disappear when you are present. Anxiety about the future also disappears. You are just here now, fully present in this moment. When you are fully present, your inner experience is one of peace, love, acceptance, power, truth and compassion. Separation and fear dissolve. You exist within Oneness.
When you bring yourself fully present, thoughts stop and your mind falls silent. But there is an even deeper level of silence waiting to emerge. As your mind becomes silent, an inner door is opened, allowing an infinite and eternal silence to emerge. This infinite and eternal silence is the very essence of your Being. It is your true nature. It is the essence of all existence. It is the eternal silent presence of pure consciousness. It is the "I AM" of you. It is that dimension of you that exists in Oneness with all that is. It is your Buddha nature. It is the Christ of you, which exists in Oneness with God. It is awakened man. It is awakened woman."

Freedom & Responsibility
"Freedom and responsibility
go together.
You can't have freedom
without responsibility.
They go absolutely hand in hand."

Meditation
"The aim of meditation is to bring
the whole play of mind to consciousness.
If you really understand the nature of the mind
and if you see clearly what it is doing,
you open the way to transcend it.
You transcend to the level of Being.
To your essential self.
Some meditations will relax you.
Some will help you to watch the mind.
Some will help you to still the mind.
Some will help you reach to deeper
levels of your Being.
At the very centre of your Being
you will enter a state of silence,
and love and light, which is truly profound." ~ Leonard Jacobson,

The path of awakening
"All of your past selves are walking behind you,
like a shadow, waiting for you to awaken fully.
Waiting for you to return home.
To the Oneness.
To love, wisdom, silence and compassion.
The child you once were is still with you.
It is waiting to receive the unconditional love
and acceptance which it has always wanted
which will finally heal it, calm it
and enable it to relax and surrender
into the vastness of your Being.
Into the light of consciousness.
And it is not just the child
who is walking behind you.
All the identities from past incarnations
are still with you.
The seeker. The pirate.
The highwayman. The sage."

Beyond boundaries
"Awakening is a journey from the
circumference to the centre.
And when you reach to the centre,
you will discover that the
circumference was an illusion.
In reality, there is no circumference.
You have no boundaries.
It is your boundaries which give you
the sense that you are separate.
Dissolve the boundaries
and you dissolve your sense of separation.
And then you begin to enter
the Oneness of all things." ~ Leonard Jacobson

Awakening
"Awakening is a journey
from mind to Being,
from the past and future
to the present,
from darkness to light.
It involves awakening
to a deeper level of consciousness.
To a higher level of consciousness.
To an expanded state of Being.
A state of unconditional love
and acceptance.
A state of silence."
