You all know the saying which is very true: What you resist persists. And I'm sure many of you have already found that out in your life. And then suddenly when you let go of resistance you let go of an attachment to something: I need this to happen in order to be happy; I don't want what is, I want something else. To be okay with what is, which is the simplicity of this moment, is the beginning of true change.
Eckhart TolleEmotion in itself is not unhappiness. Only emotion plus an unhappy story is unhappiness
Eckhart TolleThere is nothing that strengthens the ego more than being right. Being right is identification with a mental position - a perspective, an opinion, a judgement, a story. For you to be right, of course, you need someone else to be wrong, as so the ego loves to make wrong in order to be right.
Eckhart TolleThe formless dimension of life is this moment. This moment is timeless and formless - the eternal itself.
