The Truth is far more all-encompassing than the mind could ever comprehend. No thought can encapsulate the Truth. At best, it can point to it. For example, it can say: "All things are intrinsically one (The Pearl of Great Price)." That is a pointer, not an explanation. Understanding these words means feeling deep within you the truth to which they point.
Eckhart TolleYour outer journey may contain a million steps; your inner journey only has one: the step you are taking right now.
Eckhart TolleBecome an alchemist. Transmute base metal into gold, suffering into consciousness, disaster into enlightenment.
Eckhart TolleThought alone cannot recognize spiritual truths no matter how highly developed thought is. It's impossible.
Eckhart TolleGod is not a personality outside of you. What God is, is inextricably part of what you are. God is the dimension of depth within you.
Eckhart TolleVigilance in oneself is very important. Vigilance means to be alert to what happens inside, so you can catch an old, collective habit pattern.
Eckhart TolleWhen you completely accept this moment, when you no longer argue with what is, the compulsion to think lessens and is replaced by an alert stillness. You are fully conscious, yet the mind is not labeling this moment in any way... It is a shift from identification with form --the thought or the emotion-- to being and recognizing yourself as that which has no form -- spacious awareness.
Eckhart Tolle
