Become friendly with the present moment, because if you do not become friendly with the present moment you cannot become friendly with life.
Eckhart TolleNations consist of individuals. It is for every individual to bring in a different quality - the quality of awakened consciousness - into their lives.
Eckhart TolleThe beginning of freedom is the realization that you are not โthe thinker.โ The moment you start watching the thinker, a higher level of consciousness becomes activated. You then begin to realize that there is a vast realm of intelligence beyond thought, that thought is only a tiny aspect of that intelligence. You also realize that all the things that truly matter โ beauty, love, creativity, joy, inner peace โ arise from beyond the mind. You begin to awaken.
Eckhart TolleWhen you get into your car, shut the door and be there for just half a minute. Breathe, feel the energy inside your body, look around at the sky, the trees. The mind might tell you, 'I don't have time.' But that's the mind talking to you. Even the busiest person has time for 30 seconds of space.
