The mind

“The harder the mind struggles to get rid of the pain, the greater the pain. 
The mind can never find the solution, nor can it afford to allow you to find the solution, because it is itself an intrinsic part of the ‘problem.’ 

Imagine a chief of police trying to find an arsonist when the arsonist is the chief of police. 

You will not be free of that pain until you cease to derive your sense of self from identification with the mind,
which is to say from ego.” 

~ Eckhart Tolle

Hi All.

Sorry I’ve not been around much lately. Been focusing on music, which is my passion.

This quote from Eckhart is one of my favourites. Identification with your thoughts is the great trap of our century.

My thoughts are not who I am. This is the great freedom to be had…

Not easy, but it is essentially the path to peace.

Gavin.

Water, what is that ?

This is what a fish would say if it had a human mind.

This is my ‘all time’ favorite Eckhart quote. It’s used to describe ‘being-ness’. If you don’t ‘get it’… sorry…even trying to explain it, I’ve found some people still don’t understand it.

The thing I like so much about quotes, is, they cut through the mind’s noise, and get us to the truth.

Eckhart Tolle is one of three, of my ‘spiritual’ teachers.

the other two are: ACIM & David Hawkins.
