Throughout history humans have inflicted countless violent, cruel, and hurtful acts on each other, and continue to do so. Are they all to be condemned; are they all guilty? Or are those acts simply expressions of unconsciousness, an evolutionary stage that we are now growing out of? Jesusโ words, โForgive them for they do not know what they do,โ also apply to yourself.
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 TolleGod is beyond all the forms of life, but also indwells every form of life as their essence. God is both beyond and within.
