Eckhart Tolle
True peace and liberation from suffering are only found when you stop identifying with the incessant noise of your mind and fully inhabit the present moment.
The present moment is the only reality that truly exists, while the past and future are merely mental constructs that trap you in continuous anxiety and regret.
You are not your thoughts or the voice in your head, but rather the silent, observing presence beneath them.
Accumulated emotional pain survives inside you by feeding on negative thoughts, but it quickly dissolves when exposed to the light of your conscious, nonjudgmental awareness.
