Humans eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and bad. Suddenly, they start cutting reality up into bits and pieces, which is what the thinking mind does.
Eckhart TolleAs you go about your life, don't give 100 percent of your attention to the external world and your mind. Keep some within.
Eckhart TolleBe aware that what you think, to a large extent, creates the emotions that you feel. See the link between your thinking and your emotions. Rather than being your thoughts and emotions, be the awareness behind them.
Eckhart TolleIn certain extreme cases, medication may be necessary. But it is given far too often, too easily, and too readily. Millions of children already are on tranquilizers, for example, and that is absurd.
Eckhart TolleYou can have religion with spirituality. You can also have religion without spirituality.
