When you are present, you can allow the mind to be as it is without getting entangled in it.
Eckhart TolleMovies really have replaced what traditionally were mythologies, that every culture had their mythological beliefs and their collective 'stories.' There is now the possibility for movies to embody that arising new state of consciousness.
Eckhart TolleWhat is the relationship between awareness and thinking? Awareness is the space in which thoughts exist when that space has become conscious of itself.
Eckhart TolleThe 'soul' is one of the words you can use to talk about your innermost being, the essence of who you are.
Eckhart TolleInstead of 'watching the thinker,' you can also create a gap in the mind stream simply by directing the focus of your attention into the Now. Just become intensely conscious of the present moment. This is a deeply satisfying thing to do. In this way, you draw consciousness away from mind activity and create a gap of no-mind in which you are highly alert and aware but not thinking. This is the essence of meditation.
