[Visualisation] works most powerfully when you realize that it is already a reality on the unseen level. It's already there.
Eckhart TolleWhenever you step out of the noise of thinking, that is meditation, and a different state of consciousness arises.
Eckhart TolleSome people awaken spiritually without ever coming into contact with any meditation technique or any spiritual teaching. They may awaken simply because they can't stand the suffering anymore.
Eckhart TolleOnce the awakening happens, with it comes the realization that suffering is unnecessary now. You have reached the end of suffering because you have transcended the world. It is the place that is free of suffering. This seems to be everybody's path. Perhaps it is not everybody's path in this lifetime, but it seems to be a universal path. Even without a spiritual teaching or a spiritual teacher, I believe that everybody would get there eventually. But that could take time.
