Thinking is no more than a tiny aspect of the totality of consciousness, the totality of who you are.

The light is too painful for someone who wants to remain in darkness.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The little saying, 'Be still and know that I Am God' ... contains the entire wisdom of religion in those few words.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When you become aware of silence, immediately there is that state of inner still alertness. You are present. You have stepped out of thousands of years of collective human conditioning.
