Eckhart Tolle
“Another aspect of the emotional pain that is an intrinsic part of the egoic mind is a deep-seated sense of lack or incompleteness—of not being whole. In some people this is conscious; in others, unconscious. If it is conscious, it manifests as the unsettling and constant feeling of not being worthy or good enough. If it is unconscious, it will only be felt indirectly as an intense craving, wanting, and needing. In either case, people will often enter into a compulsive pursuit of ego gratification and things to identify with in order to fill this hole they feel within. So they strive after possessions, money, success, power, recognition, or a special relationship, basically so they can feel better about themselves—feel more complete. But even when they obtain all these things, they soon find that the hole is still there, that it is bottomless.”
Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment, The Art of Happiness 10th Anniversary Edition, You Are a Badass, Life Leverage 4 Books Collection Set

“Who controls the past controls the future; who controls the present controls the past,”
George Orwell, 1984

“It is dangerous to be right in matters on which the established authorities are wrong.”
Voltaire, The Age of Louis XIV

Eckhart Tolle
“All cravings are the mind seeking salvation or fulfillment in external things and in the future as a substitute for the joy of Being. As long as I am my mind, I am those cravings, those needs, wants, attachments, and aversions, and apart from them there is no “I” except as a mere possibility, an unfulfilled potential, a seed that has not yet sprouted. In that state, even my desire to become free or enlightened is just another craving for fulfillment or completion in the future. So don’t seek to become free of desire or “achieve” enlightenment. Become present. Be there as the observer of the mind. Instead of quoting the Buddha, be the Buddha, be “the awakened one,” which is what the word buddha means.”
Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment

“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.”
