Living up to an image that you have of yourself or that other people have of you is inauthentic living.
Eckhart TolleYou are not 'in the now;' you are the now. That is your essential identity-the only thing that never changes. Life is always now. Now is consciousness. And consciousness is who you are. That's the equation.
Eckhart TolleMost humans live in the mindset that this moment is only important because it's getting them to the next one.
Eckhart TolleSense your presence, the naked, unveiled, unclothed beingness. It is untouched by young or old, rich or poor, good or bad, or any other attributes.
Eckhart TolleThere are situations when all answers and explanations fade. When you fully accept that you do not know, you give up struggling to find answers with the limited thinking mind. That is when the greater intelligence can operate though you. Sometimes surrender means giving up trying to understand and becoming comfortable with not knowing.
