To listen to the silence, wherever you are, is an easy and direct way of becoming present.
Eckhart TolleIf spacious stillness is missing, the relationship will be dominated by the mind and can easily be taken over by problems and conflict. If stillness is there, it can contain anything.
Eckhart TolleIt takes practice to hear your true desires. Your passion will often come as a whisper or serendipitous event that reminds you of what's important and what makes you happy.
Eckhart TolleThat stillness and vastness that enables the Universe to be, is not just out there in space...it is also within you.
Eckhart TolleWhenever you step out of the noise of thinking, that is meditation, and a different state of consciousness arises.
Eckhart TolleWhen you become comfortable with uncertainty, infinite possibilities open up in your life. It means fear is no longer a dominant factor in what you do and no longer prevents you from taking action to initiate change. The Roman philosopher Tacitus rightly observed that 'the desire for safety stands against every great and noble enterprise.' If uncertainty is unacceptable to you, it turns into fear. If it is perfectly acceptable, it turns into aliveness, alertness and creativity.
