life is the moment we're living right now.

If we know that we are now at the point where we have always wanted to be, we will be there. . . because we are never there but always here, now!

Are you here to experience life or think about it?

The point of life is not to get anywhere—it is to notice that you are, and have always been, already there. You are always and forever in the moment of pure creation. The point of life therefore is to create—who and what you are, and then to experience that.

If you have your full attention in the moment, you will see only love.

The way to 'get there' is to 'be there'

The living moment is everything.
