Eckhart Tolle

Let me show you how to go more deeply into what you already have.

Buddha's simple definition of enlightenment as “the end of suffering.”

Being can be felt, but it can never be understood mentally

Even if the voice is relevant to the situation at hand, it will interpret it in terms of the past

To the ego, the present moment hardly exists. Only past and future are considered important.

Enlightenment means rising above thought

cease to derive your sense of self from identification with the mind

In other words, the more you are identified with your mind, the more you suffer.

the more you are able to honor and accept the Now, the more you are free of pain, of suffering and free of the egoic mind.

reduce it to a means of getting to some future moment, which only exists in the mind, never in actuality. The accumulation of time in the collective and individual human mind also holds a vast amount of residual pain from the past
