Eckhart Tolle

I thought he was spiritual.

Yeah.

So you lose, obviously, the horizontal, there's always gain and loss, the world of polarities.

And the becoming dimension, you become, again, has a positive and a negative side.

On the one hand, you can become stronger as you grow up, you can become more knowledgeable, you become wealthier.

But eventually the becoming becomes negative because then your body becomes weaker because you get old.

Interesting.

And maybe you lose something and then you become.

So the becoming, the polarities operate on the horizontal dimension, but it's without access to the vertical dimension.

Nothing can satisfy you truly, purely on the horizontal dimension.

So the vertical dimension is the present moment.

To realize that the power of the present moment that is inseparable from who or what you are in your essence, the power of you.

And that is not an egoic thing because this you far transcends who or what you are as a person.

It connects you.

With the identity of the universe itself.

It's the I am without adding anything to it.

In the Old Testament, the prophet meets God and asks God, what is your name?

And God says, I am the I am.

That is a very deep statement.

That is the beingness itself.
