When you surrender to what is and so become fully present, the past ceases to have any power. You do not need it anymore. Presence is the key. Now is the key.
Eckhart TolleYou are not what happens in your life. You are the space in which it happens, which is consciousness itself.
Eckhart TolleThe future does not exist, because nobody has ever experienced it. You can only ever experience a present moment.

Eckhart TolleThe philosopher Descartes believed he had found the most fundamental truth when he made his famous statement: "I think, therefore I am." He had, in fact, given expression to the most basic error: to equate thinking with Being and identity with thinking. The compulsive thinker, which means almost everyone, lives in a state of apparent separateness, in an insanely complex world of continuous problems and conflict, a world that reflects the ever-increasing fragmentation of the mind.
