Utdrag ur "Oprah Intervjuar E.Tolle "

OPRAH: What did you mean when you wrote in Stillness Speaks, “Look at a tree, a flower, a plant. How still they are, how deeply rooted in Being. Allow nature to teach you stillness”?
.
ECKHART: When you watch a tree, just be there as the aware presence perceives the tree. Nature is very helpful for people who want to connect with the stillness. Man-made things generate more thinking because they are made through thinking. Go to nature. Eventually you can sustain the state of stillness even in the midst of a city. I enjoy walking along busy streets with infernal noise and people rushing about and feeling the deep sense of stillness in the background.
.
OPRAH: It’s like being in the world, but not of it.
.
ECKHART: That’s exactly what it is.
.
OPRAH: You’ve said that spirituality has nothing to do with what you believe but everything to do with your state of consciousness.
.
ECKHART: It’s the stillness that’s the spiritual dimension.
.
OPRAH: And beliefs are not spiritual?
.
ECKHART: No, because beliefs are thoughts. Thought in itself is not spiritual, though it can sometimes be helpful because it can be a pointer. If we say, “Find the stillness that’s already inside you,” that’s a thought, but the thought is pointing beyond itself.
