Leonard Jacobson Quotes

If you fully awaken, you will not know yourself. Understand this, and you will understand all Picture Quote #1

Wanting others to love you, you give away your heart. Wanting others to see you, you give away your eyes Picture Quote #1

It is not until you awaken and become fully present that you will realize that you have not been present. It is not until you awaken that you will realize you have been asleep, dreaming that you are awake Picture Quote #1

You can be sad for others but you don’t have to take on their pain Picture Quote #1

You don’t realize that if you stop looking backwards craving the love and acceptance which you didn’t receive from your parents, then you might open your eyes to what is available for you now. But you won’t let go. If only you could see that looking back into an incomplete and imperfect past, with regret, blame, guilt or resentment is keeping you from the treasures that await you here now. The past has gone. You cannot rectify something that is no longer with you Picture Quote #1

If you can see it, hear it, feel it, taste it, touch it, or smell it, you can be present with it. It is of the present moment, and so it brings to you the opportunity to be present with it Picture Quote #1

Waking up is not serious. It is a gentle remembering and an honoring of the present moment as the truth of life Picture Quote #1

You cannot be present in an abstract way. Presence is not about disappearing into nothingness. You can only be present with something that is actually here Picture Quote #1

The past is gone. The future never arrives. In truth, there is no life outside of this moment! Picture Quote #1

To live a present and awakened life, simply be responsive to the moment. It is very simple. If you are hungry, eat. If you are thirsty, drink. If you are lonely, call a friend for tea. If you are overwhelmed with too much company, then get away by yourself Picture Quote #1

In the awakened state, the mind is either perfectly silent or it is a perfectly clear instrument of expression Picture Quote #1

If you want to know who you are, look into the true mirror. The flower will reflect your beauty. The sky will reflect your vastness. The ocean will reflect your depth. The child will reflect your innocence. But if you look into the mirror that is unconscious humanity, you are looking into the wrong mirror. Your reflection will be distorted by their projections Picture Quote #1

Awakening is about liberating yourself from the prison that is the world of the mind and daring to be here as all that you are Picture Quote #1

If you have a powerful enlightenment experience, do not try to hold on to it, for to do so will take you out of the present moment. You will be caught in the past. You will close the door that gave rise to the experience in the first place Picture Quote #1

In the present moment, you are beyond all definition. This means that you are no longer defined by the pain and limitations of the past. You are no longer defined by your judgments, opinions or beliefs nor are you defined by the judgment, opinions or beliefs of others Picture Quote #1

If your commitment is to being present, then there will come a time when being present becomes your natural state. The present moment becomes your home. You will have short excursions into the world of the mind, but you never go so far into the mind that you get lost there Picture Quote #1

As you transition from the past and future world of the mind to the awakened world of now, you will begin to experience yourself in an entirely new way. A way that is free of the pain and limitations of the past, and free of anxiety about the future. And you will begin to experience the abundance that is ever present in each moment Picture Quote #1

When you are caught in the mind, your past defines you. When you are present, you are beyond definition Picture Quote #1

True power arises in knowing what you want, knowing what you don’t want, expressing it clearly and lovingly without attachment to the outcome Picture Quote #1

The underlying motivation that drives all addiction is our insistence on avoiding pain. However, the pain you are avoiding is based in the past, and has nothing to do with the present moment Picture Quote #1

We are on a journey of becoming that which we already are. That is the impossible paradox of our lives Picture Quote #1

If you accept full responsibility for yourself, you will be released forever from expectation, resentment, blame and guilt Picture Quote #1

Projecting into the future with hopes, dreams and desires can never fulfill you. Only the present moment can fulfill you Picture Quote #1

It is far wiser to ask for a question than an answer. When you think you have all the answers, it simply means you have run out of questions Picture Quote #1

One of the great dangers on the spiritual path is that the ego becomes spiritualized. The ego loves to think of itself as spiritually evolved. It is just another way that it manages to feel important and in control. It is very difficult to free yourself from an enlightened ego Picture Quote #1

As each one of us awakens, it is like a light going on, followed by another light, another light, and another light. The darkness of human unconsciousness is slowly, gradually and gently lit, until there comes a day when there is more light than dark, more consciousness than unconsciousness, more joy than pain,... more truth than illusion. That would indeed be a day for celebration Picture Quote #1

True awakening involves embracing every aspect of yourself with love and acceptance, including everything you have been denying, hiding or trying to fix. To deny these things is a judgment of them and judgment will keep you forever imprisoned within separation Picture Quote #1
