Whatever the ego seeks and gets attached to are substitutes for the Being that it cannot feel.
Eckhart TolleThe characters get challenged. Through getting challenged, the character arrives at insights or discovers potentials that he or she didn't know they had.
Eckhart TolleI don't pray for anything, but I have used affirmations in the past a few times. They are really a bit more like realizations in that on some level they have already happened.
Eckhart TolleWith the egoic consciousness having become so dysfunctional, and now having at our disposal all these enormous technologies and scientific advances, if nothing changes the ego will use those things - as it already has been doing - and will amplify the technology that we now have. The scientific advances, to a large extent, will be used in the service of the ego, and they will become more and more destructive.
