Thinking is no more than a tiny aspect of the totality of consciousness, the totality of who you are.
Eckhart TolleJoy does not come from what you do, it flows into what you do and thus into this world from deep within you.
Eckhart TolleWhen faced with a radical crisis, when the old way of being in the world, of interacting with each other and with the realm of nature doesn't work anymore, when survival is threatened by seemingly insurmountable problems, an individual life-form -- or a species -- will either die or become extinct or rise above the limitations of its condition through an evolutionary leap.
Eckhart TolleFor most people, spiritual awakening is a gradual process. Rarely does it happen all at once. When it does, though, it is usually brought about by intense suffering.
