Eckhart TolleWhen you meet another human being, you meet the physical self, then you meet the psychological self that's behind it, which is their mental conditioning, their patterns of behavior and so on.

I can only sense that in another human being and relate to another human being on that deeper level if I have gone deep enough within myself.
