Commonsense too will tell you that to fulfill a desire you must
keep your mind on it. If you want to know your true nature, you
must have yourself in mind all the time, until the secret of your
being stands revealed.

Awareness becomes consciousness when it has an object. The object
changes all the time. In consciousness there is movement;
awareness by itself is motionless and timeless, here and now.

Learn to watch both your experience and your reactions to your
experience. This process of observant attention and witnessing
will enable you to see that your fundamental and essential sense
of identity exists as an unchanging point of Awareness within the
heart of all changing conditions and circumstance.
This Awareness is grounded in the present moment and never exists
outside of Now. It is always accessible and never exists
somewhere other than Here. It is the immediate and undeniable
Center of who you imagine yourself to be.
Reside in this Center, and realize that the essence of this
Awareness is not separate from That which manifests before,
around and within you.
- Metta Zetty
A human being has so many skins inside, covering the depths of
the heart. We know so many things, but we don't know ourselves!
Why, thirty or forty skins or hides, as thick and hard as an ox's
or bear's, cover the soul. Go into your own ground and learn to
know yourself there.
- Meister Eckhart
We can thank these hard-working, seldom-resting, always on alert,
over-taxed minds, we can thank them for their hard work on our
behalf and kiss their little heads and say, "Nice try
sweetheart, trying to stand in for the All, nice try, boy did you
really do an amazing job considering. Now let me take the remote
away from you sweetheart.

Holiness is falling in love with your own self.
This is devotion, and it is not different from love!
What you love you are devoted to and
what you are devoted to you love.
When this love has no object, and goes nowhere
but to itself, it will reveal itself to you in whatever
form you desire; manifest or unmanifest.
If you desire this love don't try to love a particular
person because this love has no personality, no
form, and no name. God is this love.
