I wanted to share this book. I have had it a long time and often pick it up off the shelf and open to a page to see what message I need to hear. The book is called The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment by Eckhart Tolle. Here are a couple quotes below you might enjoy.
“The moment you realize you are not present, you are present. Whenever you are able to observe your mind, you are no longer trapped in it. Another factor has come in, something that is not of the mind: the witnessing presence.” ― Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment
“In surrender, you no longer need ego defenses and false masks. You become very simple, very real. “That’s dangerous,” says the ego. “You’ll get hurt. You’ll become vulnerable.” What the ego doesn’t know, of course, is that only through the letting go of resistance, through becoming “vulnerable,” can you discover your true and essential invulnerability.” ― Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment
