The more you are focused on time-past and future-the more you miss the Now, the most precious thing there is.
Eckhart TolleYour outer journey may contain a million steps; your inner journey only has one: the step you are taking right now.
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 best indicator of your level of consciousness is how you deal with life's challenges when they come. Through those challenges, an already unconscious person tends to become more deeply unconscious, and a conscious person more intensely conscious. You can use a challenge to awaken you, or you can allow it to pull you into even deeper sleep. The dream of ordinary unconsciousness then turns into a nightmare.
