The brain does not create consciousness, but conciousness created the brain, the most complex physical form on earth, for its expression.
Eckhart TolleTo some people, surrender may have negative connotations, implying defeat, giving up, failing to rise to the challenges of life, becoming lethargic, and so on. True surrender, however, is something entirely different. It does not mean to passively put up with whatever situation you find yourself in and to do nothing about it. Nor does it mean to cease making plans or initiating positive action. Surrender is the simple but profound wisdom of yielding to rather than opposing the flow of life.
Eckhart TolleLove, joy, and peace cannot flourish until you have freed yourself from mind dominance.
