The basis for true change is freedom from negativity.
And that’s what acceptance implies: no negativity about what is.
And then you see what this moment requires: what is it that is required now so that life can express itself more fully?
Eckhart Tolle
“They intoxicate themselves with work so they don’t see how they really are.”
Aldous Huxley
Your true evolution is not what you do out there.
That’s secondary.
Your true evolution is to do with the arising of awareness in you as you go about your life.
Eckhart Tolle
‘The amazing thing about impermanence is that the realization of it opens up in you the dimension of space or stillness, when it is not resisted.
This is why many spiritual teachings point to the fact of impermanence of all form as a teaching device, because the moment you see how fleeting everything is and don’t resist it, something in you feels spacious and peaceful.’
Eckhart Tolle
Using your logic means to live in alignment with the universal intelligence.
You cannot live in alignment with that if you resist life, if you resist what is, if you complain about life, or have a quarrel with the present moment.
Eckhart Tolle
Otto Rank
It seems to be difficult for the individual to realize that there exists a division between one’s spiritual and purely human needs, and that the satisfaction or fulfillment for each has to be found in different spheres. As a rule, we find the two aspects hopelessly confused in modern relationships, where one person is made the godlike judge over good and bad in the other person. In the long run, such symbiotic relationship becomes demoralizing for both parties, for it is just as unbearable to be God as it is to remain an utter slave.
Otto Rank
For anyone who is alone, without God, and without a master, the weight of days is dreadful. Hence, one must choose a master, God being out of style…
Albert Camus
Men, incapable of liberty, who cannot stand the terror of the sacred that manifests itself before their open eyes, must turn to mystery, must hide the truth.
Carlo Levi
Neurosis and Psychosis are modes of expression for human beings who have lost courage.
Anyone who has acquired this much insight will thenceforth refrain from undertaking with persons in this state of discouragement tedious excursions into mysterious regions of the psyche.
Alfred Adler
Modes of thinking, such as love, desire, or any other of the passions, do not take place, unless there be in the same individual an idea of the thing loved, desired. But the idea can exist without the presence of any other mode of thinking.
Knowledge of the first kind is the only source of falsity, knowledge of the second and third kinds is necessarily true.
“Body awareness not only anchors you in the present moment; it is a doorway out of the prison that is the ego.”
Eckhart Tolle
“Death enters your life as the awareness of your own mortality. When you see and accept the impermanent nature of all life forms, a sense of peace comes upon you.”
Eckhart Tolle
From a given definite cause an effect necessarily follows; and, on the other hand, if no definite cause be granted, it is impossible that an effect can follow.
“Devoid of imagination, as the Philistine always is, he lives in a certain trivial province as to how things go, what is possible, what usually occurs..and so Philistinism tranquilizes itself with the trivial”
Soren Kierkegaard
“The whole order of things fills me with a sense of anguish, from the gnat to the mysteries of incarnation; all is entirely unintelligible to me, and particularly my own person. Great is my sorrow, without limits. None knows of it, except God in Heaven, and He cannot have pity.”
Soren Kierkegaard
