"The Past Cannot Survive..."

"The past cannot survive in your presence... Whatever you need to know about the unconscious past in you, the challenges of the present will bring it out. If you delve into the past, it will become a bottomless pit... there is always more...

Access the power of Now. That is the key. The power of Now in none other than the power of your presence, your consciousness liberated from thought forms...

Give attention to the present; give attention to your behavior, to your reactions, mughts, emotions, fears, and desires as they occur in the present. There's the past in you. If you can be present enough to watch all those things, not critically or analytically but nonjudgmentally, then you are dealing with the past and dissolving it through the power of your presence.

You cannot find youself by going into the past. You find yourself bu coming into the present."
