For a long time humans probably were in touch on a deeper level with the depths of their being, unconsciously so, the same way an animal or a tree is. Gradually, though, more and more of their identity went into the movement of thought. They identified more and more with the movement of thinking.
Eckhart TolleScience and technology have amplified the effects of the dysfunction of the human mind in its unawakened state to such a degree that humanity, and probably the planet, would not survive for another hundred years if human consciousness remains unchanged.
Eckhart TolleWhen you are not honoring the present moment by allowing it to be, you are creating drama.
Eckhart TolleEnthusiasm is the power that transfers the mental blueprint into the physical dimension.
Eckhart TolleFuture success is dependent upon and inseparable from the consciousness out of which the actions emanate
Eckhart TolleFear arises through identification with form, whether it be a material possession, a physical body, a social role, a self-image, a thought, or an emotion. It arises through unawareness of the formless inner dimension of consciousness or spirit, which is the essence of who you are. You are trapped in object consciousness, unaware of the dimension of inner space which alone is true freedom.
