From "I Come As A Brother"The High Mesa Foundation© 1985

"Some of you have been seeking the state of Enlightenment for lifetimes, and the depressing thing is, if you continue to have the idea that God is something other than Now, or what you are doing this moment, you will be at it many more lifetimes. You need to quiet your mind. And that is all you need to do! The best way to quiet the mind is to be in the moment. Your mind cannot be agitated if you are present in the moment. If you are alive to this moment, alive to everything going on in it, you can't be ruminating over the past. You cannot 'unthink' all the thoughts you want to get rid of. All you can do is stay so powerfully aware in the moment that a new force begins to impress itself upon you, just as that old force had been impressing on you."
