Page 2: A New Earth

You do not become good by trying to be good, but by finding the goodness that is already within you

and allowing that goodness to emerge.

P13

Life isn’t as serious as my mind makes it out to be. P33

Page 3: A New Earth

The unconscious compulsion to enhance one’s identity

through association with an object is built into the very

structure of the egoic mind. P35

Whatever the ego seeks and gets attached to are

substitutes for the Being that it cannot feel. P40

Page 4: A New Earth

Life will give you whatever experience

is most helpful for the evolution of your

consciousness. P41

The ego isn’t wrong, it’s just unconscious.

P42

Making yourself

right and others

wrong is one of the

principal egoic mind patterns.

P44

Page 5: A New Earth

Nonreaction to the ego in

others is one of the most

effective ways not only of

going beyond ego in yourself

but also dissolving the

collective human ego.

P62

Your greatest protection from deeply unconscious people is being conscious. P63

All that is required to become free of the ego is to be aware of it, since awareness and ego are incompatible. P78

Awareness is the power that is concealed within the present moment. P78

Page 6: A New Earth

Spiritual realization is to see clearly that what I perceive, experience,

think, or feel is ultimately not who I am, that I cannot

find myself in all those things that continuously

pass away. P78

The recognition of

the false is already the rising of the

real. P81The ego doesn’t know that the source of all energy is within

you, so it seeks it outside. P85

Page 7: A New Earth

Whenever you feel superior or inferior to anyone, that’s the ego in you. P86

Page 8: A New Earth

Defining yourself through thought is limiting yourself.

P90

When you let go of the belief that you should or need to

know who you are, suddenly the

confusion is gone. P90

Page 9: A New Earth

The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but your thoughts about it. Be aware of the thoughts you’re thinking. Separate them from the situation, which is always neutral which always is as it is. P96

Don’t seek happiness.

Happiness is very elusive, but freedom from unhappiness is

attainable now, by facing what is, rather

than making up stories about it.

Unhappiness covers up your natural state

of well being and inner peace, the

source of true happiness. P96

Page 10: A New Earth

Awareness is the greatest agent for change. P99 (awareness = light)

If there is awareness in you, you no longer need to believe in every thought you think. It’s an old thought, no more. Awareness means

Presence, and only Presence can dissolve the unconscious past in you. P100

Page 11: A New Earth

Mastery of life is not a question of control, but of finding a balance between human and Being. P104

Human is form. Being is

formless. P105

Only beyond form, in Being, are you equal, and only when you find the formless dimension in yourself can there be true love in that

relationship. P105

Page 12: A New Earth

To love is to recognize yourself in another. P105

The longing for love that is in every child is the longing to be

recognized, not on the level of form, but on the level of Being.

P105

Love makes the world less worldly, less dense, more transparent to the

divine dimension, the light of consciousness itself. P106

Page 13: A New Earth

…those who do not attempt to appear more than they are but are simply themselves, stand out as remarkable and are the only ones who truly make a

difference in this world. P108

Whatever they do becomes empowered because it is in

alignment with the purpose of the whole. P108

Page 14: A New Earth

You will be free to let go of your unhappiness the moment you recognize it as unintelligent. P112

You will be free to let go of your unhappiness the moment you recognize it as unintelligent. P112

Peace, after all, is the end of the ego. P115

And don’t be concerned with how others define you. When they define you, they are limiting themselves, so it’s their

problem. P109

Page 15: A New Earth

The voice in the head has a life of its own. Most people are at the mercy of that voice; they are possessed by thought, by the mind. And since the mind

is conditioned by the past, you are then forced to reenact the past again and again. P129

There is a generic term for

all negative emotions:

unhappiness. P136

It is only when memories, that is to say, thoughts about the past, take you over completely that they turn into a burden, turn problematic, and become

part of your sense of self. Your personality, which is conditioned by the past, then becomes your prison. P140

Page 16: A New Earth

We can learn not to keep situations or events alive in our minds, but to return

our attention continuously to the pristine, timeless present moment…. Our very Presence then becomes our identity, rather than our thoughts and

emotions. P141

This energy field of old but still

very-much-alive emotion that lives

in almost every human being is the pain-body.

P142

It’s raw emotion looking for more emotion. The other person’s pain-body wants to awaken yours (push buttons) so that both pain-bodies can mutually energize each other.

P148

Even if blame seems more than justified, as

long as you blame others, you keep

feeding the pain-body with your thoughts and remain trapped in your

ego. P160

Page 17: A New Earth

When it is recognized, it can no longer pretend to be you and live and renew itself through you. It is your conscious Presence that breaks the

identification with the pain-body. P161

Emotion in itself is not unhappiness. Only emotion

plus an unhappy story is unhappiness. P166

Unhappiness is created whenever you are out of

alignment with the present moment, when the Now is

denied in one way or another. P172

(with Pain-body and ego) You look at the present through

the eyes of the emotional past within you. P173

This knowing (recognizing the pain-body) is all that is needed to break your identification with it. P183

Page 18: A New Earth

Acknowledging the good that is already in your life is the foundation for all abundance. P190

Whatever you think people are withholding from you – give it to them. Then, soon after you start giving, you will start receiving. You cannot

receive what you don’t give. Outflow determines inflow. P191

Most people define themselves through the content of their lives (perception, experience, do, think, feel). Content absorbs most

people’s attention entirely and it is what they identify with. Which takes up the inner space of consciousness. P193

To be in alignment with what is means to be in a relationship of inner nonresistance with what happens. …. When the basis for your actions is in inner alignment with the present moment, your actions become

empowered by the intelligence of Life itself. P199Only if you resist what happens are you at the mercy of what happens,

and the world will determine your happiness or unhappiness. P200

Page 19: A New Earth

The decision to make the present moment into your friend is the end of the ego. P201 The stronger the ego, the more time takes over your life. Almost every thought you think is then concerned with the past or future, and your sense of self depends on the past for your identity and on the future for its fulfillment. P202

Nonresistance (surrender) is the key to the

greatest power in the universe.

P208

The joy of Being (not doing), which is the only true happiness, cannot come to you through any form, possession, achievement, person, or

event – through anything that happens. That joy cannot come to you – ever. It emanates from the formless dimension within you, from

consciousness itself and thus is one with who you are. P214

Page 20: A New Earth

If you are content with being nobody

in particular, content not to stand out, you

align yourself with the power of the universe. What

looks like weakness to the ego is in fact the

only true strength. P216

Presence is a state of inner spaciousness. … You are still, alert, open to what is. …When instead of reacting against a situation, you merge with it, the solution arises out of the

situation itself. P238

Being aware of your breathing takes attention away from thinking and creates space (God within). P244 Being aware of your breath forces

you into the present moment – the key to all inner transformation. P246

Nonresistance, nonjudgment, and nonattachment are the

three aspects of true freedom and enlightened living. P225

Page 21: A New Earth

When I no longer confuse who I am with a temporary form of “me,” then the dimension of the limitless and the eternal – God – can express itself through “me” and guide “me.” P251

Thought is form. To be still is to be conscious without thought. …. When you are still, you are who you are beyond your temporal existence: consciousness – unconditioned, formless, eternal. P256

Inner purpose concerns Being and is primary. Outer purpose concerns doing and is

secondary. …. Your inner purpose is to awaken. It is as simple as that. P258

Awakening is a shift in consciousness in which thinking and awareness is separate. P259 …. Presence: consciousness without thought.

Page 22: A New Earth

You can invite Presence into your life, that is to say, make

space. … You can either try to go on as if nothing has happened, or you can see its significance and recognize the arising of awareness as the most important thing that can happen to you. Opening

yourself to the emerging consciousness and bringing its light into this world then

becomes the primary purpose in your life. Einstein

said consciousness is the mind of God. P261

Page 23: A New Earth

The present moment is always small in the sense

that it is always simple, but

concealed within it lies the greatest

power. P267

Through the present moment,

you have access to the power of life itself, that which has traditionally

been called “God.” P267

Jesus likes to draw our attention to nature because He sees a power at work in it that humans have lost touch with. It is the creative power of the universe. Jesus goes on to

say that if God clothes simple flowers in such beauty, how much more will God clothe you. … when humans become aligned with the intelligence that underlies it, they will express

the same impulse on a higher, more wondrous level. P268

Fulfilling your primary purpose is laying the foundation for a new reality, a new earth. Once that foundation is there, your external purpose becomes charged

with spiritual power because your aims and intentions will be one with the evolutionary impulse of the universe. P265

Page 24: A New Earth

As you become present and thereby total in what you do, your actions become charged with spiritual power. At first there may be no noticeable change in what you do – only the how changes. Your primary purpose is now to enable consciousness to flow into whatever you

do. …. The field of awareness that arises between you becomes the primary purpose for the interaction. …. The human Being becomes more important than the things of this world. P269

The unconscious assumption behind all

such action is that success is a future event, and that the end justifies the means. But the end and the means are one. And if the means didn’t

contribute to human happiness, neither will the

end. P271

What the future holds for you depends on your state of consciousness now. … When doing becomes infused with the timeless quality of Being, that is success. P272

Page 25: A New Earth

But when we perceive without interpreting or mental labeling, which means without adding thought to our perceptions, we can actually still sense the deeper connectedness

underneath our perception of seemingly separate things. P276

We become conscious participants in the creation of form. It is not we who create, but universal intelligence that creates through us. P289

The stronger the ego, the stronger the sense of separateness between people. P290

Awakened doing is the alignment of your outer purpose – what you do – with your inner purpose – awakening and staying awake. …. Not what you do, but how you do what

you do determines whether you are fulfilling your destiny. And how you do what you do is determined by your state of consciousness. …. In any situation and in whatever you

do, your state of consciousness is the primary factor; the situation and what you do is secondary. P294

Page 26: A New Earth

On the new earth, enjoyment will replace wanting as the motivating power behind people’s actions. …. Joy is the dynamic aspect of Being. Joy does not come from what you do, it flows into what you do and thus into this world from deep within you. … there

is the belief that joy is something that can be derived from something else such as an activity or thing.

You then look to the world to bring your joy, happiness. But it cannot do that. This is why so many people live in constant frustration. The world is not giving them what they think they need. P298

Enthusiasm means there is deep enjoyment in what you do plus the added element of a goal or a vision that you work toward. When you add a goal to the enjoyment of what you do, the energy-field or vibrational frequency changes. … You will feel like

an arrow that is moving toward the target – and enjoying the journey. P301
