Eckhart Tolle
Image
If you are trying to get from here to there, and you already are late, you know that you are late, and yet you are aligned with the present moment while you are stuck in a traffic jam. You are totally accepting of the moment.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Don't think of yourself as having a past, don't think of yourself as having a future. What's left?
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The intensity of the pain depends on the degree of resistance to the present moment.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Only if you resist what happens are you at the mercy of what happens, and the world will determine your happiness and unhappiness

Movies really have replaced what traditionally were mythologies, that every culture had their mythological beliefs and their collective 'stories.' There is now the possibility for movies to embody that arising new state of consciousness.
