It seems that most people need to experience a great deal of suffering before they will relinquish resistance and accept - before they will forgive.
Eckhart TolleWhatever you accept completely will take you to peace, including the acceptance that you cannot accept, that you are in resistance.
Eckhart TolleTo me the ego is the habitual and compulsive thought processes that go through everybody's mind continuously. External things like possessions or memories or failures or successes or achievements. Your personal history.
Eckhart Tolle
