Default Stillness Speaks

I read an interesting book recently "Stillness Speaks" by Eckhart Tolle. Here are a few of his thoughts.....

Dogmas - religious, political, scientific - arise out of erroneous belief that thought can encapsulate reality or truth. Dogmas are collective conceptual prisions. And the strange thing is that people love their prision cells because it gives them a false sense of security and a false sense of "I know." Nothing has inflicted more suffering on humanity than its dogmas. It is true that every dogma crumbles sooner or later, because reality will eventually disclose its falseness; however, unless the basic delusion is seen for what it is, it will be replaced by others. What is the basic delusion? Identification with thought. Spiritual awakening is awakening from the dream of thought.

When you recognize that there is a voice in your head that pretends to be you and never stops speaking, you are awakening out of unconscious identification with the stream of thinking. When you notice that voice, you realize that who you are is not the voice - the thinker - but the one who is aware of it. Knowing yourself as the awareness behind the voice is freedom.

When you lose touch with inner stillness, you lose touch with yourself, you lose yourself in the world. Your innermost sense of self, of who you are, is inseparable from stillness. This is the I AM that is deeper than name and form.

Feeling the oneness of yourself with all things is love.ETT

Default Kymatica

YouTube - kymatica (part 1)

I've read some of Echart's work. Some of the parts of Kymatica reflect a similar theme.
