If you’re living in the eternal now, if you exist this moment, and you do, in this moment is there a problem? There’s no problem in this moment, it’s only when you begin to think of tomorrow or the next week or the next week. But if you learn to stay centered in the moment where nothing is happening, this moment will become the next moment. And the next moment will become the next hour, the next day, the next week, and the next year. This is how to live, from moment to moment. But what do we do? We stretch out those moments to days. We like to see the future. We think something’s going to happen to us tomorrow or the next day or the next day. But nothing can ever happen to you unless you allow it. You allow it by believing it, by thinking about it. You give it power by fearing it. But I say to you in truth, there’s nothing to fear in this whole universe. There’s no fear. Fear doesn’t exist. Only the Self exists. […] I say to you again, “Stop thinking. Live in the moment. Stop worrying about the past or the future. Awaken to yourself. Be happy. Be free. You are not alone. You have divine forces right now taking care of you, guiding you, directing you to your ultimate good. Trust these divine forces. Have faith in them. All they want is your recognition. When you recognize there are divine forces taking care of you then you will find they are working for you and you find infinite joy.” But when it’s taken in reverse and you believe life is against you, there are forces against you, then you create your own hell.

So:

Number one:

Stop thinking. Take control of your mind.

Number two:

Live in the here and now. Forget about yesterday, forget about the future. Live in the moment and be happy in the moment. Do whatever you have to do to be happy in the moment.

Number three:

Do not be judgmental. Do not judge anybody or anything, ever, no matter how it looks, never judge anybody.

Number four:

Leave everything alone. You did not come into this plane of existence to change anybody or anything. You’re not here to fix anything or anybody. You’re here only to become free and liberated by knowing the truth.

Number five:

Always catch yourself and say, “I am Brahman.” When you say, “I am Brahman,” you’re not talking about your physical body, or your ego. You’re talking about the truth about yourself. Reality itself is Brahman. It has nothing to do with your body. Your body doesn’t exist. It never existed, it appears to exist but it doesn’t exist. Your nature is pure consciousness, pure awareness.

Always remember these things, learn these things. You have a lot of tools to work with. If you only can use these tools every moment of your life, you will never be unhappy again. How can you be unhappy if you know the truth? You were not born to suffer or have problems. You are here to rejoice! To be still and know that I-am God. […] You’re ready to be out of the show, the show of materialism, the show of relativity, materialism and relativity. You’re ready to break out of that shell. Let it happen. The mind will create all kinds of situations to stop it from happening. It will show you all kinds of nonsense. But you know now that you have the power to change these things, to turn from the nonsense, to reality! You can do it. Work with it. Peace.
