If you cannot be at ease with yourself when alone, you will seek a relationship to cover up your unease. You can be sure that the unease will then reappear in some other form within the relationship, and you will probably hold your partner responsible for it.
Eckhart TolleTo be free of time is to be free of the psychological need of past for your identity and future for your fulfillment
Eckhart TolleThe pain-body wants to survive, just like every other entity in existence, and it can only survive if it gets you to unconsciously identify with it.
Eckhart TolleThe great arises out of small things that are honored and cared for. Everybody's life really consists of small things. Greatness is a mental abstraction and a favorite fantasy of the ego. The paradox is that the foundation for greatness is the honoring of small things of the present moment instead of pursuing the idea of greatness.
