The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment

The personality that has a past and a future momentarily recedes and is replaced by an intense conscious presence, very still but very alert at the same time. It is possible that at a later time, the seed that was sown when reading this book will merge with the seed of enlightenment that each human being carries within, and suddenly that seed will sprout and come alive within them. Stress is caused by being “here” but wanting to be “there,” or being in the present but wanting to be in the future. Men may catch up with them in the end, but for some considerable time there will be a gap between the consciousness of men and that of women.
