“A religious phenomenon will only be recognized as such if it is grasped at its own level, that is to say, if it is studied as something religious. To try to grasp the essence of such phenomenon by means of physiology, psychology, sociology, economics, linguistics, art or any other study is false; it misses the one unique and irreducible element in it - the element of the sacred.” IfsTryingMeanArtReligiousLevelsStudyPsychologyMissingElementsUniqueEconomicsEssenceSacredPhenomenonSociologyLinguisticsPhysiology Author:Mircea Eliade

And if you continuously miss the now - resist it, dislike it, try to get away from it, reduce it to a means to an end, then you miss the essence of your life, and you are stuck in a dream world of images, concepts, labels, interpretations, judgments - the conditioned content of your mind that you take to be yourself.” IfsThinkingWorldFeelsTryingMindMeanEndsDreamHappensMissingJudgmentConceptsEssenceStuckLabelsBeing YourselfGet AwayInterpretationDislikeWhatever HappensDream WorldMeans To An End Author:Eckhart Tolle

“This is why very often you find educated people in the media who look at spiritual books but they are so identified with their thought process, they don't get it. They write reviews or articles and they miss the whole point. They can't see the essence. It's not their fault; it's not them personally. It's the human condition and its mind-identified state. And intelligence in itself doesn't help. You can have two or three Ph.D.s; it doesn't get you any closer to spiritual realization. In fact, you might be more distant.” PeopleWritingMindHumansLooksTwoBookStatesWholeFactsHelpingMightSpiritualThreeProcessConditionsMediaMissingEssenceFaultsEducatedRealizationReviewsArticlesHuman ConditionThought Process Author:Eckhart Tolle

“When the body sinks into death, the essence of man is revealed. Man is a knot, a web, a mesh into which relationships are tied. Only those relationships matter.

Never.” ThinkingMenMatterBodyDeathKnownDyingMissingEssenceTiedKnotsMesh Author:Antoine de Saint-Exupery
