All true artists, whether they know it or not, create from a place of no-mind, from inner stillness.
Eckhart TolleThe thinking mind can be so noisy that it cannot relate to stillness. It doesn't even recognize it and certainly can't remember it.
Eckhart TolleA practice can be helpful, but didn't the Buddha compare it to a raft, suggesting it be abandoned when you reach the other shore?
Eckhart TolleNothing has inflicted more suffering on humanity than its dogmas. It is true that every dogma crumbles sooner or later, because reality will eventually disclose its falseness; however, unless the basic delusion of it is seen for what it is, it will be replaced by others.
Eckhart TolleMeditate or spend silent time in nature with your partner. When going for a walk or sitting in the car or at home, become comfortable with being in stillness together. Stillness cannot and need not be created. Just be receptive to the stillness that is already there, but is usually obscured by mental noise.
