Adyashanti's Emptiness Dancing, Chapter 22: "Eternal Now"

"Meet here where you find yourself,
by not finding yourself.
In this place where quietness is deafening,
And stillness moves too fast to catch it."
excerpt from poem by Adyashanti (p. 160)

"Have you ever noticed that you have never left here, except in your mind." (p. 161)

If you are still interested in time and the spiritual accumulations you can have in time, you will get a time-bound experience. The mind is acting as if what you are looking for isn't already present right now. Now is outside of time." (p. 161)

"The mind always thinks of freedom, or enlightenment, as some sort of accumulation, and of course there is nothing to accumulate. It's about realizing what you are, what you have always been. This realization is outside of time because it's now or never." (p. 161 - page 161 was a really good page)

"It is a place where even oneness makes no sense, where the mind of insight has fallen silent, where the heart has fallen silent, and there is just a resting in the simple ground of being." (p. 165)
