Whatever you think the world is withholding from you, you are withholding from the world.
Eckhart TolleWhen another recognizes you, that recognition draws the dimension of Being more fully into this world through both of you. That is the love that redeems the world.
Eckhart TolleEverything is shown up by being exposed to the light, and whatever is exposed to the light itself becomes light.
Eckhart TolleSo the single most vital step on your journey toward enlightenment is this: learn to disidentify from your mind. Every time you create a gap in the stream of mind, the light of your consciousness grows stronger. One day you may catch yourself smiling at the voice in your head, as you would smile at the antics of a child. This means that you no longer take the content of your mind all that seriously, as your sense of self does not depend on it.
Eckhart TolleDo you really need to mentally label every sense perception and experience? Do you really need to have a reactive like/dislike relationship with life where you are in almost continuous conflict with situations and people? Or is that just a deep-seated mental habit that can be broken? Not by doing anything, but by allowing this moment to be as it is.
