People Live Through A Mental Role

  • Most people live through a mental image of themselves, a conditioned role that they mistake for who they are.
  • Eckhart Tolle says this egoic role produces predictable, unhappy behavior that blocks awakening.
ADVICE

  • Notice when your mind projects into the future and creates worry rather than dealing with the present.
  • Become aware of that thinking so you can separate imagined fear from actual problems and reduce needless suffering.

  • That fear lowers immunity and can increase the likelihood of the feared outcome, creating a harmful feedback loop.
