Memories are thoughts that arise. They're not realities. Only when you believe that they are real, then they have the power over you. But when you realize it's just another thought arising about the past, then you can have a spacious relationship with that thought. The thought no longer has you in its grip.
Eckhart TolleLet the end of the world be inside you, then you don't need to fear the end of the world out there.
Eckhart TolleEverybody who is not awake spiritually is totally identified with and run by their thinking mind - the incessant voice in the head.
