 forgiveness is a disregard for illusions

 if chasing the next moment is your practice, you will always be unhappy, because the next anything is a phantom.

There is only one Self.
==================
Always remember whatever you give of yourself, you're giving to yourself, because there's only one Self.
When you give away your love, you give your joy, you give your truth, you give your happiness, you give your finances, you give whatever you give,
it's like your right hand giving to the left hand.
If you took away all space and all time there would only be one person.
The reason we appear as many, is because of time and space, maya, the illusion.
It appears as if there is time and space. Therefore there are many.
But as you go within yourself, as you
begin to identify with pure consciousness, time and space seem to disappear, and wherever you look, you see yourself, for there's no room for anyone else.
There is only one Self.
This is why you should never be angry at anyone, never judge anyone, never become upset with anyone or react to any one, for you are really doing it to yourself.
Whatever is going to happen will happen. Your job is not to react. Your job is to
understand that everything is predestined. You are in your right place where you are supposed to be.
If there is anything that appears in your life that you don't like, it's wrong to
try to change it. It's right to go within yourself and see the truth within yourself. And then the appropriate changes will come by itself.
Change no one. Change nothing.
React to no one, react to nothing.
Do not live in the past and do not worry about the future. Stay in the
eternal now, where all is well.

Spira

Rupert Spira - Quotes

"Nothing ever disappears. Only forms are constantly transformed."

“The greatest discovery in life is to discover that our essential nature does not share the limits nor the destiny of the body and mind.”

"All experience - thoughts, images, feelings, sensations and perceptions - appears and disappears, but awareness remains present throughout all changing experience, just as a screen remains present throughout all movies."

"Look in all experience for that which does not appear, move, change, evolve or disappear, and know yourself as that."

"See thoughts and feelings like a train that enters a station and then leaves; be like the station, not like a passenger."

“Only that which is always with you can be said to be your self and if you look closely and simply at experience, only awareness is always ‘with you’.”

"Deep sleep is not the absence of awareness. It is the awareness of absence."

“We take that which is unreal to be real and that which is real to be unreal.”

“Many of our ideas and beliefs about ourselves and the world are so deeply ingrained that we are unaware that they are beliefs and take them, without question, for the absolute truth.”

“The belief that we were born, that we change, evolve, grow old and die is simply a belief to which the vast majority of humanity subscribes without realizing that they are doing so. It is the religion of our culture.”

"To begin with, we seem to be in the world, then the world seems to be in us, and finally the distinction between ourself and the world dissolves."

"The reason we all experience the same world is not that there is a world made of matter appearing outside Consciousness. It is because each of our finite minds is precipitated within the same infinite Consciousness. It is because our minds share Consciousness that we feel we share the world."

"When we wake up from a dream, we understand that we were not a self in the dream but rather that the entire dream took place in us. Similarly, when we wake up from the ‘dream’ of everyday life we discover that Consciousness is not in the body but that the entire body, mind and world are in Consciousness."

"God is the very self of each of us."

"To imagine oneself a separate self is the ultimate blasphemy. It is normally considered that to say 'I am God' is blasphemous. However, what is truly blasphemous is to say 'I am a separate self'. It is not blasphemous to feel and say that I am the totality of experience. It is a position of love in which everything and everyone are included."

"The absolute knowledge of our own being is the only knowledge there is, that could serve as a foundation for world peace. Because it's the only knowledge there is, that is the same for all people, at all times, in all circumstances and under all conditions."

“When feeling is divested of the feeler and the felt, it shines as love; when seeing is divested of the seer and the seen, it shines as beauty.”

“Love is the experience that others are not others. Beauty is the experience that objects are not objects.”

"Love is not a feeling; it's lack of otherness."

“Love is the natural condition of all experience before thought has divided it into a multiplicity and diversity of objects, selves and others.”

"A single sensation/thought/perception appears in consciousness and thinking alone conceptualises.”

“In reality, which means in our actual experience, all experience is one seamless substance. The duality between the inside self and the outside object, world or other is never actually experienced. It is always imagined.”

“In ignorance I am something; in understanding I am nothing, in love I am everything.”

“Give your attention to the experience of seeing rather than to the object seen and you will find yourself everywhere.”

"Locate yourself nowhere; find yourself everywhere."

“The discovery that peace, happiness and love are ever-present within our own Being, and completely available at every moment of experience, under all conditions, is the most important discovery that anyone can make.”

“We don’t have to wait for the right circumstances to have happiness.”

“Happiness is simply to allow everything to be exactly as it is from moment to moment.”

“Looking for happiness in the body, mind or world is like looking for the screen in a movie. The screen doesn’t appear in the movie, and yet, at the same time, all that is seen in the movie is the screen. In the same way that the screen ‘hides’ in plain view, so happiness ‘hides’ in all experience.”

“Time is the eternal now, seen through the narrow slit of the mind.”

"Our essential nature of pure Awareness gains or loses nothing from the entire human adventure."
