Transcending Thoughts
quotes by Eckhart Tolle
Ride the Wave
With enthusiasm you will find that you don't have to do it all by yourself. In fact, there is nothing of significance that you can do by yourself. Sustained ehthusiasm brings into existance a wave of creative energy, and all you have to do the is "ride the wave."
-- from his book "A New Earth, Awakening to your Life's Purpose"
The Basis for True Sucess
Your Inner purpose is to awaken...
Your outer purpose can change over time. It varies greatly from person to person. Finding and living in alignment with the inner purpose is the foundation for fulfilling your outer purpose. It is the basis for true sucess.
-- from his book "A New Earth, Awakening to your Life's Purpose"
The Human Predicament
Alienation means you don't feel at ease in any situation, any place, or with any person, not even with yourself. You are always trying to get "home" but never feel at home.
Some of the greatest writers of the twentieth century, such as Franz Kafka, Albert Camus, T. S. Eliot, and James Joyce, recognized alienation as the universal dilemma of human existence, probably felt it deeply within themselves and so were able to express it brilliantly in their works.
They don't offer a solution. Their contribution is to show us a reflection of the human predicament so that we can see it more clearly.
To see one's predicament clearly is a first step toward going beyond it.
