The teaching arises out of the stillness. But when I'm alone, there's only the stillness, and that is my favorite place.
Eckhart TolleEverybody who is not awake spiritually is totally identified with and run by their thinking mind - the incessant voice in the head.
Eckhart TolleWe are destined not to go back to the level of animals that we've come from but to return to being by going beyond thinking.
Eckhart TolleThinking, or more precisely identification with thinking, gives rise to and maintains the ego, which, in our Western society in particular, is out of control. It believes it is real and tries hard to maintain its supremacy. Negative states of mind, such as anger, resentment, fear, envy, and jealousy, are products of the ego.
Eckhart TolleInstead of creating expectations of what should or should not be happening, cooperate with the form that this moment takes.Bring a 'yes' to the isness, because it's pointless to argue if it already is.A greater intelligence is available to you when you no longer reject, deny, or 'don't want' what is.
