When you listen to the voice in your head, listen to it impartially. That is to say, do not judge. You'll soon realize: there is the voice, and here I am listening to it, watching it. This I am realization, this sense of your own presence, is not a thought. It arises from beyond the mind.
Eckhart TolleEspecially for those of us living in the Western culture, death to a large extent is still a taboo subject. It's considered something dreadful that shouldn't be happening. It's usually denied. The fact of death is not faced. What we don't realize in Western culture is that death has a redemptive dimension.
Eckhart TollePleasure is always derived from something outside you, whereas joy arises from within.
Eckhart TolleWe would destroy ourselves and the planet if no change happens, because of the amplification of the egoic state through science and technology.
