All cravings are the mind seeking salvation or fulfillment in external things and in the future as a substitute for the joy of Being.
Eckhart TolleIn whatever way change comes, the important thing is to take responsibility for this moment. Then, life becomes cooperative.
Eckhart TolleThe particular egoic patterns that you react to most strongly in others and misperceive as their identity tend to be the same patterns that are also in you, but that you are unable or unwilling to detect within yourself.
Eckhart TolleWhenever you become anxious or stressed, outer purpose has taken over, and you lost sight of your inner purpose. You have forgotten that your state of consciousness is primary, all else secondary.
