The 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 TolleTo know yourself as the Being underneath the thinker, the stillness underneath the mental noise, the love and joy underneath the pain, is freedom, salvation, enlightenment.
Eckhart TolleGive yourself completely to the act of listening. Beyond the sounds there is something greater, a sacredness that cannot be understood through thought.
Eckhart TolleWhen you live in complete acceptance of what is, that is the end of all drama in your life.
Eckhart Tolle
