Kindle Notes & Highlights
Being can be felt as the ever-present I am that is beyond name and form.
All spiritual teachings originate from the same Source.
It is easy to stay present as the observer of your mind when you are deeply rooted within your body.
The moment you truly forgive, you have reclaimed your power from the mind.
Presence is pure consciousness
Feeling will get you closer to the truth of who you are than thinking.
More consciousness means a lessening of the illusion of materiality.
The more consciousness you bring into the body, the stronger the immune system, becomes.
powerful self-healing meditation
Explained below!
Conscious breathing, which is a powerful meditation in its own right, will gradually put you in touch with the body.
When listening to another person, don’t just listen with your mind, listen with your whole body.
Surrender — the letting go of mental-emotional resistance to what is
True salvation is fulfillment, peace, life in all its fullness.
“know God” — not as something outside you but as your own innermost essence.
You find God the moment you realize that you don’t need to seek God.
all love is the love of God.
Love is not selective, just as the light of the sun is not selective.
“being the knowing” rather than “being the reaction”
Being the knowing creates a clear space of loving presence that allows all things and all people to be as they are.
Tao Te Ching, one of the most ancient and profound books ever written,

The Goddess or Divine Mother has two aspects: She gives life, and she takes life.
As long as you make an identity for yourself out of the pain, you cannot become free of it.
when you live in complete acceptance of what is — which is the only sane way to live — there is no “good” or “bad” in your life anymore. There is only a higher good — which includes the “bad.”
Since mind and resistance are synonymous, acceptance immediately frees you from mind dominance and thus reconnects you with Being.
Most of the so-called bad things that happen in people’s lives are due to unconsciousness. They are self-created, or rather ego-created.
Ego is the unobserved mind that runs your life when you are not present as the witnessing consciousness,
When you live in complete acceptance of what is, that is the end of all drama in your life. Nobody can even have an argument with you, no matter how hard he or she tries. You cannot have an argument with a fully conscious person.
All that arises passes away.
I have learned to offer no resistance to what is; I have learned to allow the present moment to be and to accept the impermanent nature of all things and conditions. Thus have I found peace.
Affirmation!
To offer no resistance to life is to be in a state of grace, ease, and lightness.
Watch any plant or animal and let it teach you acceptance of what is, surrender to the Now. Let it teach you Being.
“Wake up. Get out of your mind. Be present.”
To affirm whenever negativity arises
Compassion is the awareness of a deep bond between yourself and all creatures.
your perception of the world is a reflection of your state of consciousness.
Everybody you come in contact with will be touched by your presence and affected by the peace that you emanate, whether they are conscious of it or not.
You teach through being, through demonstrating the peace of God.
True change happens within, not without.
Surrender is the simple but profound wisdom of yielding to rather than opposing the flow of life. The only place where you can experience the flow of life is the Now, so to surrender is to accept the present moment unconditionally and without reservation.
Acceptance of what is immediately frees you from mind identification and thus reconnects you with Being. Resistance is the mind.
surrendered action.
Ask yourself, “Is there anything I can do to change the situation, improve it, or remove myself from it?” If so, you take appropriate action. Focus not on the one hundred things that you will or may have to do at some future time but on the one thing that you can do now.
Surrendered Action
You cannot be conscious and unhappy, conscious and in negativity.
only an unconscious person will try to use or manipulate others, but it is equally true that only an unconscious person can be used and manipulated.
When you say “no” to a person or a situation, let it come not from reaction but from insight, from a clear realization of what is right or not right for you at that moment. Let it be a nonreactive “no,” a high-quality “no,” a “no” that is free of all negativity and so creates no further suffering.
Do not pollute your beautiful, radiant inner Being nor the Earth with negativity.
If you suddenly feel very light, clear, and deeply at peace, that is an unmistakable sign that you have truly surrendered.
see how the miracle of surrender transmutes deep suffering into deep peace. This is your crucifixion. Let it become your resurrection and ascension.
Tasia meaning: resurrection...
Presence removes time. Without time, no suffering, no negativity, can survive.
