Resistance is weakness and fear masquerading as strength. What the ego sees as weakness is your Being in its purity, innocence, and power. What it sees as strength is weakness.
Eckhart TolleEverybody who is not awake spiritually is totally identified with and run by their thinking mind - the incessant voice in the head.
Eckhart TolleNothing has happened in the past; it happened in the Now. Nothing will ever happen in the future; it will happen in the Now.
Eckhart TolleBecause of its phantom nature, and despite elaborate defense mechanisms, the ego is very vulnerable and insecure, and it sees itself as constantly under threat. This, by the way, is the case even if the ego is outwardly very confident.
