When you read a book put all of your effort into staying present and focus your energy towards the comprehension of each and every word and how you can apply it into your daily life.

If I had lost everything and was out on the streets with no money I would go sit in the library and read and meditate for weeks at a time.

Intuition is the silent knowledge of your soul.

Read for the sake of using others knowledge to find your own inner guidance.

Consciousness is in this present moment, the awareness with every cell in your body the direct and experience of love.
