Eckhart Tolle

And while you're aware of the breath going in and out, in that moment you're not thinking. There's an inner spaciousness that arises. The breath is always there, but we're not conscious of it mostly. And then the breath also puts you in touch with what I call the inner body feeling, to feel the energy in your body, especially if you feel into the abdomen.

You breathe into the belly region and then you feel that there's an energy here, which the Japanese in Zen called hara, which is the energy that is here. And you feel an energy that lives in you that's the animating presence, the intelligence that inhabits the body. And then if you feel it here, you can also feel it spread out into the other part, into your legs and arms.

So breathing, breath awareness, and leading to inner body awareness. And then you can be somewhere, you're in traffic for a moment before you were irritated and suddenly you remember spaciousness. Breathing, inner body awareness.

Well, another comment on this, one can easily inherit a painful sense of identity. Every human is born into a particular situation, the environment, parental environment, cultural environment, and humans can easily be born into an environment that gives them a painful sense of identity.

It can also be a painful collective identity if you're born into a group of people that... Were enslaved. Yes, for example. And then you're born with a painful sense of identity. And again, it's important The ego does not want to free itself from that because that is its identity. The ego loves that, and the pain body really loves it. And that becomes a danger for...

There's no denying that there were and are people who are victims of other people. There's no denying that. However, the danger is... When you recognize that you were a victim or even your ancestors were victims, you can inherit that. The important thing is to go beyond having a victim identity, which means you seek your sense of self in having been a victim. The ego loves that too.
