So far for humans it has been the case that ego develops and then humans are stuck with it for the rest of their lives.
Eckhart TolleWhen you recognize this, you also realize that you are now free to give up this futile conflict, this inner state of war.
Eckhart TolleConsciousness is not personal. Human consciousness is just an expression of universal consciousness, which pervades the entire universe.
Eckhart TolleIf you are content with being nobody in particular, content not to stand out, you align yourself with the power of the universe. What looks like weakness to the ego is in fact the only true strength. This spiritual truth is diametrically opposed to the values of our contemporary culture and the way it conditions people to behave.
