Presence is when you're no longer waiting for the next moment, believing that the next moment will be more fulfilling than this one.
Eckhart TolleWhatever the ego seeks and gets attached to are substitutes for the Being that it cannot feel.
Eckhart TolleDeath means that a form of life dissolves or that the imminent possibility of dissolution exists, whether through our own death or through illness or old age.
Eckhart TolleYou may remember the paradox of time we mentioned earlier: Whatever you do takes time, and yet it is always now. So while your inner purpose is to negate time, your outer purpose necessarily involves future and so could not exist without time. But it is always secondary. Whenever you become anxious or stressed, outer purpose has taken over, and you lost sight of your inner purpose. You have forgotten that your state of consciousness is primary, all else secondary.
