All negativity is caused by an accumulation of psychological time and denial of the present.
Eckhart TolleTo be free of time is to be free of the psychological need of past for your identity and future for your fulfillment
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. And then, there is a deeper level to every human being that transcends all of that. 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.
Eckhart Tolle...whenever there is inspiration...and enthusiasm...there is a creative empowerment that goes far beyond what a mere person is capable of.
Eckhart TolleNegative states of mind, such as anger, resentment, fear, envy, and jealousy, are products of the ego.
Eckhart TolleChoice implies consciousness - a high degree of consciousness. Without it, you have no choice. Choice begins the moment you disidentify from the mind and its conditioned patterns, the moment you become present....Nobody chooses dysfunction, conflict, pain. Nobody chooses insanity. They happen because there is not enough presence in you to dissolve the past, not enough light to dispel the darkness. You are not fully here. You have not quite woken up yet. In the meantime, the conditioned mind is running your life.
