As you go about your life, don't give 100 percent of your attention to the external world and your mind. Keep some within.
Eckhart TolleTo know another human being in their essence, you donโt really need to know anything about them - their past, their history, their story. We confuse knowing about with a deeper knowing that is non-conceptual. Knowing about and knowing are totally different modalities. One is concerned with form, the other with the formless. One operates through thought, the other through stillness.
Eckhart TolleGive up defining yourself - to yourself or to others. You won't die. You will come to life.
Eckhart TolleLearn from nature. See how everything gets accomplished and how the miracle of life unfolds without dissatisfaction or unhappiness.
Eckhart TolleThe best indicator of your level of consciousness is how you deal with life's challenges when they come. Through those challenges, an already unconscious person tends to become more deeply unconscious, and a conscious person more intensely conscious. You can use a challenge to awaken you, or you can allow it to pull you into even deeper sleep. The dream of ordinary unconsciousness then turns into a nightmare.
