To recognize one's own insanity is, of course, the arising of sanity, the beginning of healing and transcendence.
Eckhart TolleI don't want it to end, and so, as every therapist knows, the ego does not want an end to its โproblemsโ because they are part of its identity. If no one will listen to my sad story, I can tell it to myself in my head, over and over, and feel sorry for myself, and so have an identity as someone who is being treated unfairly by life or other people, fate or God. It gives definition to my self-image, makes me into someone, and that is all that matters to the ego.
Eckhart TolleI teach that we must go beyond pure ego-consciousness and move to a new manifestation of energy karma force.
