What is the relationship between awareness and thinking? Awareness is the space in which thoughts exist when that space has become conscious of itself.
Eckhart TolleAwareness is conscious connection with universal intelligence. Another word for it is Presence: consciousness without thought.
Eckhart TolleLook at all the conflict between tribes, nations, and religions. They need their enemies, because they provide the sense of separateness on which their collective egoic identity depends.
Eckhart TolleIf uncertainty is unacceptable to you, it turns into fear. If it is perfectly acceptable, it turns into increased aliveness, alertness, and creativity.
Eckhart TolleConsciousness is evolving throughout the universe in billions of forms. So even if we didn't make it, this wouldn't matter on cosmic scale. No gain in consciousness is ever lost, so it would simply express itself through some other form. But the very fact that I am speaking here and you are listening or reading this is a clear sign that the new consciousness is gaining a foothold on the planet.
