Eckhart Tolle

Let me show you how to go more deeply into what you already have.

Buddha's simple definition of enlightenment as “the end of suffering.”

Being can be felt, but it can never be understood mentally

Even if the voice is relevant to the situation at hand, it will interpret it in terms of the past

To the ego, the present moment hardly exists. Only past and future are considered important.

Enlightenment means rising above thought

you delve into the past, it will become a bottomless pit: There is always more.

There is no need to investigate the unconscious past in you except as it manifests at this moment as a thought, an emotion, a desire, a reaction, or an external event that happens to you. Whatever you need to know about the unconscious past in you, the challenges of the present will bring it out.

Compulsive thinking has become a collective disease. Your whole sense of who you are is then derived from mind activity.

Your mind is an instrument, a tool. It is there to be used for a specific task, and when the task is completed, you lay it down.
