A group needs enemies, because without enemies its identity cannot continue to be defined.
Eckhart TolleNations consist of individuals. It is for every individual to bring in a different quality - the quality of awakened consciousness - into their lives.
Eckhart TolleSo give your complete attention to what you feel, and refrain from mentally labeling it. As you go into the feeling, be intensely alert. At first, it may seem like a dark and terrifying place, and when the urge to turn away from it comes, observe it but donโt act on it. Keep putting your attention on the pain, keep feeling the grief, the fear, the dread, the loneliness, whatever it is. Stay alert, stay present - present with your whole Being, with every cell of your body. As you do so, you are bringing a light into this darkness. This is the flame of your consciousness.
