Consciousness is a vast ocean and thinking is the waves & ripples on the surface of the ocean.
Eckhart TolleAlways say โyesโ to the present moment. What could be more futile, more insane, than to create inner resistance to what already is? what could be more insane than to oppose life itself, which is now and always now? Surrender to what is. Say โyesโ to life โ and see how life suddenly starts working for you rather than against you.
Eckhart TolleAwareness of the inner body is consciousness remembering its origin and returning to the Source.
Eckhart TolleGuilt, regret, resentment, sadness & all forms of nonforgiveness are caused by too much past & not enough presence.
Eckhart TolleIn the unawakened state you don't use thought, but thought uses you. You are, one could almost say, possessed by thought, which is the collective conditioning of the human mind that goes back many thousands of years. You don't see anything as it is, but distorted and reduced by mental labels, concepts, judgments, opinions and reactive patterns.
Eckhart Tolle
