Eckhart Tolle

So awareness is consciousness and normally Consciousness is always absorbed by the mind and that becomes the ego.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes. Also, you don't need to wait for the challenge to come into your life. Also, discover that at any moment, even at this moment as you're sitting here, there is your experience of this moment, sensory experience, visual, auditory, that's part of the present moment.

And if you want to go deeper into the present moment, that's already a wonderful thing to become aware of your surroundings rather than being totally absorbed into the stream of mostly useless thinking. Right. So you become more acutely aware of your surroundings. And often you find there's an aliveness around there no matter where you are in this room.

So I call it sometimes the beginning of present moment awareness is to be aware of your sensory perceptions. Oh. And for some people that's like waking up out of some kind of dream, because they were always immersed in thinking about past and future, only peripherally aware of the present moment.

Yes, that's also the basis for intelligent action or wise action. I think the key word is wise, where there's wisdom and there's intelligence. Yes. An intelligent person can easily have a huge ego, so you cannot equate the ego and intelligence. They often come together easily. Wisdom is something different. Wisdom arises out of the awareness. Out of the awareness.

So to make wise decisions, the basis for wise decision is first an acceptance of what is right now, rather than a reaction against what is, an emotional reaction against it. that prevents you from arriving at a wise decision of what to do.

But if you can accept this moment as it is, and then one could say a higher intelligence begins to operate, and that is wisdom, that higher intelligence is wisdom.
