Eckhart Tolle

The problem isn't here.

The problem is in the mind, but it's not here.

That's a place of power.

And then you become aligned with the power of now.

The power of the present moment, which is the power of consciousness itself beyond the ego.

Far, far, far from the ego is only a lack.

It's like the reflected light, like the moon reflects the light of the sun and the ego reflects the light of consciousness.

Oh, interesting.

There's no power in ego itself in the same way that there's no light in the moon.

It's just reflected light.

Well, the main mistake perhaps that people make is not coming from a place of attraction.

fullness, but coming from a place of neediness and putting too much attention on what is the undesirable conditions that they want to get rid of, but mentally almost continuously focusing on the undesirable condition, like not enough money, for example, which is a problem for many people.

Yeah.

Well, first of all is the acknowledgement of abundance that is already here and now.

and not focusing on the lack of abundance that is here now, which you could find by thinking about it, but to actually focus on where is the abundance that I can find here now?

And that is all around you.

It is in nature.

When you look at the abundance of nature, the multiplicity of life forms, the wonder of nature,

the abundance of evil, or let's say you're in a city, you can look at, appreciate all the things that you see around you.

You don't need to necessarily own it or buy it, just appreciate it.
