A friend of mine reminded me of a great author Eckart Tolle.
Years ago i read his book ' The Power of Now' and i remember i was blown away.
My friend introduced me to another one of his books 'A New Earth' which i have become
totally absorbed into.
This author opens our eyes up to some very real and hard truths about ourselves, our lives and our ego's.
QUOTES I LOVE!
“The past has no power over the present moment.”
“The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but your thoughts about it.”
“Life will give you whatever experience is most helpful for the evolution of your consciousness. How do you know this is the experience you need? Because this is the experience you are having at the moment.”
“Sometimes letting things go is an act of far greater power than defending or hanging on.”
“Realize deeply that the present moment is all you have. Make the NOW the primary focus of your life.”
“Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it.
“A genuine relationship is one that is not dominated by the ego with its image-making and self-seeking. In a genuine relationship, there is an outward flow of open, alert attention toward the other person in which there is no wanting whatsoever.”
“This, too, will pass.”
“The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but thought about it. Be aware of the thoughts you are thinking. Separate them from the situation, which is always neutral. It is as it is.”
“All the things that truly matter, beauty, love, creativity, joy and inner peace arise from beyond the mind.”
“You do not become good by trying to be good, but by finding the goodness that is already within you, and allowing that goodness to emerge. But it can only emerge if something fundamental changes in your state of consciousness.”
