Better Tate Than Never

As promised, now the first of the 'Philosopher's Notes' put together by Nadja! :)
I am so preoccupied with reading and writing at the moment that I find it hard to know what to begin with ;) I chose a quote by Eckhart Tolle, since his words are so profound and true at the deepest level. This one goes well with the Dyer quote I shared here before... Basically, stop the compulsive identification with forms and thoughts and observe reality as it is, here and now. Labels are for clothes, not for people! :) More to cummm soon! :)

''Identification with your mind creates an opaque screen of concepts, labels, images, words, judgments, and definitions that blocks all true relationship. It comes between you and yourself, between you and your fellow man and woman, between you and nature, between you and God. It is this screen of thought that creates the illusion of separateness, the illusion that there is you and a totally separate "other." You then forget the essential fact that, underneath the level of physical appearances and separate forms, you are one with all that is.'' (Eckhart Tolle)
