Ego and Identification
by Eckhart Tolle
EGO CAUSES IDENTIFICATION with Thoughts but also all kinds of identifications.
Eckhart Tolle
Eckhart talks in being lost in doing and projections about the future which implies lost in thinking or thoughts and identification with them.
I am angry
Means that I am identified with anger
Anger arises in me
Means I am something different than the anger that arises in me.
Desire is the fuel; thought is the fire. The thought-fire is kept up by the desire-fuel.”
“If you withdraw the supply of fuel, the fire will be withdrawn into its womb. If you stop thinking by cutting off desires, the mind will be withdrawn into Brahman (Pure Consciousness).
from Swami Sivananda’s book “Mind—Its Mysteries and Control.”

The ‘secret’ to a plentiful life, a life of harmony, happiness and contentment is to have a sattvic mind free from desires and ego and to live in every moment in conscious contact with our true Self (Consciousness).
🌺 Peace, Love, Harmony
