Awareness takes over from thinking. Instead of being in charge of your life, thinking becomes the servant of awareness.
Eckhart TolleEvery individual is in touch with the deeper level of being, the aware consciousness. If these humans form groups, they do not derive their sense of self from the group, which does not mean there cannot be a sense of being part of this group. But the group itself does not become an egoic entity.
Eckhart TolleNegative states of mind, such as anger, resentment, fear, envy, and jealousy, are products of the ego.
Eckhart TolleThe mind, conditioned as it is by the past, always seeks to re-create what it knows and is familiar with. Even if it is painful, at least it is familiar. The mind always adheres to the known. The unknown is dangerous because it has no control over it. That's why the mind dislikes and ignores the present moment.
