We Take Care Of The Future Best

When We Let Go Of Wanting Something Else To Happen In This Moment, We Are Taking A Profound Step Toward Being Able To Encounter What Is Here Now. If We Hope To Go Anywhere Or Develop Ourselves In Any Way, We Can Only Step From Where We Are Standing. If We Don't Really Know Where We Are Standing—a Knowing That Comes Directly From The Cultivation Of Mindfulness—we May Only Go In Circles, For All Our Efforts And Expectations. So, In Meditation Practice, The Best Way To Get Somewhere Is To Let Go Of Trying To Get Anywhere At All.

In Any Given Moment We Are Either Practicing Mindfulness, Or Defacto, We Are Practicing Mindlessness.

Any Really Good Scientist Is As Much An Artist As A Scientist. All The Interesting Stuff Is Found On The Edge Between Knowing And Not Knowing. I Know That Sounds Like A Meditation Teacher Speaking, But When You're In The Laboratory, Or You're Theorizing About Physics, You Need To Know What You Know, But If You Can't Get Out From Under That, You Won't Be Able To Make That Insightful, First-time Connection That Nobody Else Has Seen Before.

From The Perspective Of Meditation, Every State Is A Special State, Every Moment A Special Moment.

Intelligence Is The Door To Freedom And Alert Attention Is The Mother Of Intelligence.
