When your consciousness is directed outward, mind and world arise. When it is directed inward, it realises its own Source and returns home into the Unmanifested.
Eckhart TolleWhen you can no longer feel the life that you are, you are likely to try to fill up your life with things.
Eckhart TolleIn you, as in each human being, there is a dimension of consciousness far deeper than thought. It is the very essence of who you are. We may call it presence, awareness, the unconditioned consciousness.
Eckhart TolleSome people say, the world can be so alive! It always is, you just do not know it because of the screen of your thinking. You notice it as you become more awake.
Eckhart TolleIt is much more likely that help comes in when what you are doing is done while you are in a state of inner peace, rather than resistance.
Eckhart TolleOnce you have identified with some form of negativity, you do not want to let it go, and on a deeply unconscious level, you do not want positive change. It would threaten your identity as a depressed, angry or hard-done by person. You will then ignore, deny or sabotage the positive in your life. This is a common phenomenon. It is also insane.
