Quotes by Echkart Tolle (?)

“Most crawling reptilians, the most earthbound of all creatures, have
remained unchanged for millions of years. Some, however, grew feathers and
wings and turned into birds, thus defying the force of gravity that had held
them for so long. They didn’t become better at crawling or walking, but
transcended crawling and walking entirely.”
― Echkart Tolle
