Make sure the present moment is your friend,
not your enemy.
Honor it by giving it your fullest attention.
Appreciate it by being thankful for it.
Become internally aligned with it
by allowing it to be as it is.
That is the arising of the new earth.

Words,
no matter whether they are vocalized
and made into sounds
or
remain unspoken as thoughts,
can cast an almost hypnotic spell upon you.
You easily lose yourself in them,
become hypnotized into implicitly believing
that when you have attached a word to something,
you know what it is.

The fact is: You don’t know what it is.

Everything, a bird, a tree, even a simple stone,
and certainly a human being,
is ultimately unknowable.

This is because it has unfathomable depth.
All we can perceive, experience, think about,

Van Gogh didn’t say:
“That’s just an old chair.”
He looked, and looked, and looked.
He sensed the Being-ness of the chair.
Then he sat in front of the canvas and took up the brush.
The chair itself would have sold for the equivalent of a few dollars.
The painting of that same chair today would fetch in excess of $ 25 million.

A depth returns to your life.
Things regain their newness, their freshness.
And the greatest miracle
is the experiencing of your essential self
as prior to any words,
thoughts, mental labels, and images.

He saw there was nothing to
do with the blue sky, no act to
perform with the leaves speaking
in the high branches, nowhere
to take the fallen leaves curled
into brown upon the dry grass;

give to some other.

They were each the all of it,
arising wherever arising occurred;
they filled the silence with their being silence,

was the same.

The dancing sunlight,
the sounds of men making and
doing in the world-
these also were the
silence sounding itself,

calling to him in his semi-separation,
whispering the right way,
the way
to slide in to that which was out,

to enfold them all and to be enfolded,
to holds hands all the way back
to the beginning,
and
ahead to the infinite yet-to-be,
intimately each the all.

And the sky remained blue,
and the birds called,

and all the leaves

listened.

Eckhart Tolle - Words!... (A New Earth)
Words, no matter whether they are vocalized and made into sounds or remain unspoken as thoughts, can cast an almost hypnotic spell upon you. You easily lose yourself in them, become hypnotized into implicitly believing that when you have attached a word to something, you know what it is. The fact is: You don’t know what it is. You have only covered up the mystery with a label. Everything, a bird, a tree, even a simple stone, and certainly a human being, is ultimately unknowable. This is because it has unfathomable depth. All we can perceive, experience, think about, is the surface layer of reality, less than the tip of an iceberg.
Underneath the surface appearance, everything is not only connected with everything else, but also with the Source of all life out of which it came. Even a stone, and more easily a flower or a bird, could show you the way back to God, to the Source, to yourself. When you look at it or hold it and let it be without imposing a word or mental label on it, a sense of awe, of wonder, arises within you. Its essence silently communicates itself to you and reflects your own essence back to you. This is what great artists sense and succeed in conveying in their art.
Van Gogh didn’t say: “That’s just an old chair.” He looked, and looked, and looked. He sensed the Being-ness of the chair. Then he sat in front of the canvas and took up the brush. The chair itself would have sold for the equivalent of a few dollars. The painting of that same chair today would fetch in excess of $ 25 million.
When you don’t cover up the world with words and labels, a sense of the miraculous returns to your life that was lost a long time ago when humanity, instead of using thought, became possessed by thought. A depth returns to your life. Things regain their newness, their freshness. And the greatest miracle is the experiencing of your essential self as prior to any words, thoughts, mental labels, and images. For this to happen, you need to disentangle your sense of I, of Being-ness, from all the things it has become mixed up with, that is to say, identified with. That disentanglement is what this book is about.
The quicker you are in attaching verbal or mental labels to things, people, or situations, the more shallow and lifeless your reality becomes, and the more deadened you become to reality, the miracle of life that continuously unfolds within and around you. In this way, cleverness may be gained, but wisdom is lost, and so are joy, love, creativity, and aliveness. They are concealed in the still gap between the perception and the interpretation. Of course we have to use words and thoughts. They have their own beauty— but do we need to become imprisoned in them?
Words reduce reality to something the human mind can grasp, which isn’t very much. Language consists of five basic sounds produced by the vocal cords. They are the vowels a, e, i, o, u. The other sounds are consonants produced by air pressure: s, f, g, and so forth.
Do you believe some combination of such basic sounds could ever explain who you are, or the ultimate purpose of the universe, or even what a tree or stone is in its depth?
