Consciousness is not personal. Human consciousness is just an expression of universal consciousness, which pervades the entire universe.
Eckhart TolleHumans eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and bad. Suddenly, they start cutting reality up into bits and pieces, which is what the thinking mind does.
Eckhart TolleThe foundation of greatness is honoring the small things of the present moment, instead of pursuing the idea of greatness.
Eckhart TolleWaiting is a state of mind. Basically, it means that you want the future; you don't want the present. You don't want what you've got, and you want what you haven't got. With every kind of waiting, you unconsciously create inner conflict between your here and now, where you don't want to be, and the projected future, where you want to be. This greatly reduces the quality of your life by making you lose the present.
