13. A New Earth_Eckhart Tolle (Part.3)

Youtube channel 'Breathe In Korean': https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCY5ed6x0ZaeKmwyWvppaFYw/

Author - Eckhart Tolle (에크하르트 톨레 저/류시화)

Book - A New Earth (삶으로 다시 떠오르기) 

https://amzn.to/2SH8pKk

Quotes

  • If you are not taking responsibility for your state of consciousness, you are not taking responsibility for life.
  • Expansion and positive change on the outer level is much more likely to come into your life if you can enjoy what you are doing already, instead of waiting for some change so that you can start enjoying what you do.
  • You will enjoy any activity in which you are fully present, any activity that is not just a means to an end. It isn't the action you perform that you really enjoy, but the deep sense of aliveness that flows into it.
  • When you want to arrive at your goal more than you want to be doing what you are doing, you become stressed. The balance between enjoyment and structural tension is lost, and the latter has won.
  • Unlike egoic wanting, which creates opposition in direct proportion to the intensity of its wanting, enthusiasm never opposes. It is non-confrontational. Its activity does not create winners and losers. It is based on inclusion, not exclusion, of others.
  • When enthusiasm encounters obstacles in the form of adverse situations or uncooperative people, it never attacks but walks around them or by yielding or embracing turns the opposing energy into a helpful one, the foe into a friend.
  • Enthusiasm is the power that transfers the mental blueprint into the physical dimension. You cannot manifest what you want; you can only manifest what you already have.
  • The arising of a new heaven and by implication a new earth are not future events that are going to make us free. Nothing is going to make us free because only the present moment can make us free. That realization is the awakening.
  • A new heaven and a new earth are arising within you at this moment.

Book - A New Earth (삶으로 다시 떠오르기) https://amzn.to/2SH8pKk

Quotes

  • Knowing yourself goes far deeper than the adoption of a set of ideas or beliefs.
  • Knowing yourself is being yourself, and being yourself is ceasing to identify with content. It is to be rooted in Being, instead of lost in your mind.
  • When the basis for your actions is inner alignment with the present moment, your actions become empowered by the intelligence of Life itself.
  • When you are present, when your attention is fully in the Now, that Presence will flow into and transform what you do.
  • Once you see and accept the transience of all things and the inevitability of change, you can enjoy the pleasures of the world while they last without fear of loss or anxiety about the future.
  • The negation of time in what you do also provides the link between your inner and outer purposes, between Being and doing.
  • The paradox is that the foundation for greatness is honoring the small things of the present moment instead of pursuing the idea of greatness.
  • The field of awareness that arises between you becomes the primary purpose for the interaction. That space of awareness becomes more important than physical or thought objects. The human Being becomes more important than the things of this world.
  • The arising of that unifying field of awareness between human beings is the most essential factor in relationships on the new earth.

Quotes

  • 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.
  • If you can recognize illusion as illusion, it dissolves.
  • Body awareness not only anchors you in the present moment, it is a doorway out of the prison that is the ego.
  • “Love and do what you will.” said St. Augustine. Words cannot get much closer to the Truth than that.
  • When another recognizes you, that recognition draws the dimension of Being more fully into this world through both of you.
  • Love implies duality: lover and beloved, subject and object. So love is the recognition of oneness in the world of duality. This is the birth of God into the world of form.
  • Love makes the world less worldly, less dense, more transparent to the divine dimension, the light of consciousness itself.

Author - Nikos Kazantzakis / Translator - Carl Wildman (니코스 카잔차키스 저 / 이윤기 역)

Book - Zorba the Greek (그리스인 조르바) https://amzn.to/3cawkec

Quotes

  • The meaning of the words, art, love, beauty, purity, passion, all this was made clear to me by the simplest of human words uttered by this workman.
  • It is difficult for him to miss his aim, because his two feet are held firmly planted on the ground by the weight of his whole body.
  • The universe for Zorba, as for the first men on earth, was a weighty, intensive vision; the stars glided over him, the sea broke against his temples. He lived the earth, water, the animals and God, without the distorting intervention of reason.
  • They made a circle round Zorba and the santuri and began dancing on the pebbled shore. Thrilled, I watched them in silence. This is, I thought, the real vein I have been looking for! I want no other.
  • The sight of a man just rends my poor devil, I think; he also eats and drinks and makes love and is frightened, whoever he is: he has his God and his devil just the same, and he’ll peg out and lie as stiff as a board beneath the ground and be food for worms, just the same.
  • Each time that within ourselves we are the conquerors, although externally utterly defeated, we human beings feel an indescribable pride and joy. Outward calamity is transformed into a supreme and unshakable felicity.

Quotes

  • When we begin to practice mindful awareness, we start the path home to ourselves.
  • If you’re truly happy, we all profit from your happiness. We need happy people in this world.
  • Deep listening has the power to help us create a moment of joy, a moment of happiness, and to help us handle a painful emotion.
  • When you breathe, allow the larger world to breathe for you. When you’re angry, allow your anger to be released and to be embraced by the larger community.
  • Our communication is what we put out into the world and what remains after we have left it.
  • Karma is the triple action of our thoughts, our speech, and our bodily actions.
  • Our thoughts, speech, and actions are our real continuation.

  • This is the most interesting part of the trip that you are open to everything.

Author - Do Jong-Hwan / Translator - Brother Anthony & Jinna Park (도종환)

Book - No Flower Blooms Without Wavering (흔들리며 피는 꽃) 

Quotes

  • Though the flowers are soaked by day-long rain, their fragrance is not diluted.
  • On nights when the one I loved grew unlovely, my overflowing heart, that seemed to know nothing of love and more about hate, was so foolish and troubled.
  • There was no path of pain that I could avoid taking. There were some paths that I ought not to go by and some that I really did not want to walk along, but now, on looking back, having taken all those paths I have arrived here.
  • What flower blooms without wavering? Even the loveliest flowers in the world always waver as they bloom, waver as they straighten their stems, So what love does not waver as it goes its way?
  • If the trees standing in rows on the hill are beautiful, it’s on account of the empty space behind the trees which silently embraces them.

Author - Theodore Zeldin

Book - The Hidden Pleasures of Life (인생의 발견)

Publisher - Hachette UK (번역본: 어크로스)

Quotes

  • The world is what is revealed when we each say what we see when we all shine our faint torches on it.
  • I cherish the moments when other people’s thoughts do not arrive simply asking for a quiet place to sit in my memory but seem to press a button in my head that switches on the light, illuminating my beliefs on that particular subject, clarifying them by juxtaposing a contrasting view and stimulating a modification I had not previously imagined.
  • Originally most civilizations did not separate the past from the present: constant and attentive discussion with dead ancestors was the basis on which they planned their future and how they tried to avoid disagreement. For them, the dead were as alive as the living.
  • Punctuality and efficiency have often become slave-masters, whipping people to cram more activities and achievements into every day, forcing them to surrender their personal rhythms to fixed, anonymous timetables.
  • Humanity is increasingly split not just by privilege, but also by temperament, between those who appreciate regularity and ordered life, content to fit into what society has arranged for them so that they do not have to constantly make decisions for themselves, and those who want to be in control of what they do and when they do it, to perform each activity at their own speed, to obtain a good part of their pleasure from surprises, variety, and improvisation.
  • Freedom is not merely a right, but a skill to be acquired, the skill to view the world through different lenses, through lenses other than one’s own, the skill to imagine what no-one has imagined before, to find beauty or meaning or inspiration. Each life is a fable about freedom.

Author - John Stuart Mill (서병훈 옮김)

Book - On Liberty (자유론)

Quotes

  • Complete liberty of contradicting and disproving our opinion is the very condition which justifies us in assuming its truth for purposes of action.
  • It really is of importance, not only what men do, but also what manner of men they are that do it. Among the works of man, which human life is rightly employed in perfecting and beautifying, the first in importance surely is man himself.
  • Human nature is not a machine to be built after a model and set to do exactly the work prescribed for it, but a tree, which requires to grow and develop itself on all sides, according to the tendency of the inward forces which make it a living thing.
  • It makes a vast difference both in our feelings and in our conduct towards him whether he displeases us in things in which we think we have a right to control him, or in things in which we know that we have not.

Quotes

  • Literature is the deepest, most diverse, and delicate variation of the phrase 'I love you'.
  • It is the nature of existence to be one with others through Eros.
  • I became mature enough to know that life is eventually a fight against meaninglessness, and literature is an 'open format' that is comprehensively exploring its meaning.
  • Criticism does not always mean attack or rejection. Rather, the real criticism is to show the maxim of love that can be reached.

Author - David G. Haskell

Book - The forest unseen (숲에서 우주를 보다)

Quotes

  • I realized that all stories are partly wrapped in fiction - the fiction of simplifying assumptions, of cultural myopia, and of storytellers’ pride. I learned to revel in the stories but not to mistake them for the bright, ineffable nature of the world.
  • The world does not center on me or on my species. The causal center of the natural world is a place that humans had no part in making. Life transcends us. It directs our gaze outward.
  • Watching ourselves and watching the world are not in opposition; by observing the forest, I have come to see myself more clearly.
  • The interior quality of our minds is itself a great teacher of natural history. It is here that we learn that “nature” is not a separate place.
  • I have glimpsed how rich science is but simultaneously how limited in scope and in spirit. It is unfortunate that the practice of listening generally has no place in the formal training of scientists.

  • Humboldt could create his own categories of value without either following or deliberately rebelling against the hierarchies of others. He was free to think that everything, or perhaps nothing, might be interesting.
  • Nature’s ‘loveliness’ might in turn, according to Wordsworth, encourage us to locate the good in ourselves.
  • The pleasure we derive from a journey may be dependent more on the mindset we travel with than on the destination we travel to.
  • They had fallen into the habit of considering their universe to be boring and their universe had duly fallen into line with their expectations.

  • To care for others wisely without draining our soul, compassion and calmness must be balanced.
