The Shift: From Thinking to Awareness

Eckhart Tolle: Essential Teachings

CHAPTER

What Causes You Suffering?

Pigtitus said that what causes you suffering is your thought. Every thought draws you in completely dreadful fate, he says. You cannot hold two thoughts because without awareness, you identify with one. These are everywhere, good and bad, light and dark polarities. The polarities cannot be transcended. Here, you've got yin and yang, good and bold, everybody is any polarity here. Now, how do you transcend you either here or there? The line becomes a triangle. The apex of the triangle is awareness. Then you have transcended the polarities and you can allow them to be, but you are not tied to one or the other.
