Although much of what Eckhart Tolle (The Power of Now and A New Earth) writes is beyond my grasp and although I often get sleepy reading him which tells me I’m not ready for some of his stuff, yet, the following quote really spoke to me.
Stillness is your essential nature. When you lose touch with inner stillness you lose touch with yourself. When you lose touch with your self you lose yourself in the world.
Not only is this something I need to remind myself of every day but why I write so much about meditation, stillness, and paying attention. It is just too easy to get caught up in the busyness, the details, the stuff, the things. It is just so easy to make excuses. It is just so easy for the conscious mind to stay so busy that it stops paying attention so that the subconscious mind takes over repeating patterns, replaying programs that don’t serve me. Enough.
Stop, Look, Listen – even if just for a minute.
