With the egoic consciousness having become so dysfunctional, and now having at our disposal all these enormous technologies and scientific advances, if nothing changes the ego will use those things - as it already has been doing - and will amplify the technology that we now have. The scientific advances, to a large extent, will be used in the service of the ego, and they will become more and more destructive.
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 TolleYour outer journey may contain a million steps; your inner journey only has one: the step you are taking right now.
Eckhart TolleProbably, if you are successful in this world you are stressed, and if you are a failure, you are bored!
Eckhart TolleNegative states of mind, such as anger, resentment, fear, envy, and jealousy, are products of the ego.
Eckhart TolleThinking is a wonderful tool if it's applied. Thinking, however, can not become the master. Thinking is a very bad master. If you're dominated by thinking then your life becomes very restricted.
Eckhart TolleSome of the first human beings in whom the new consciousness emerged fully became the great teachers of humanity, such as Buddha, Lao Tzu, or Jesus, although their teachings were greatly misunderstood, especially when they turned into organized religion. They were the first manifestations of the flowering of human consciousness.
