Nothing has inflicted more suffering on humanity than its dogmas. It is true that every dogma crumbles sooner or later, because reality will eventually disclose its falseness; however, unless the basic delusion of it is seen for what it is, it will be replaced by others.
Eckhart TolleBe the silent watcher of your thoughts and behavior. You are beneath the thinker. You are the stillness beneath the mental noise. You are the love and joy beneath the pain.
Eckhart TolleAbove all, know that ego isn't personal. It isn't who you are. If you consider the ego to be your personal problem, that's just more ego.
Eckhart TolleMany things in your life matter, but only one thing matters absolutely.. It is finding the essence of who you are.
Eckhart TolleWhenever there is negativity in you, if you can be aware in that moment that there is something in you that takes pleasure in it or believes it has a useful purpose, you are becoming aware of the ego directly. The moment this happens your identity has shifted from ego to awareness. This means the ego is shrinking and awareness is growing.
