What is arising now is not a new belief system,
a new religion, spiritual ideology, or mythology.
We are coming to the end not only of mythologies
but also of ideologies and belief systems.
The change goes deeper than the content of your mind,
deeper than your thoughts.
In fact, at the heart of the new consciousness
lies the transcendence of thought,
the newfound ability of rising above thought,
of realizing a dimension within yourself
that is infinitely more vast than thought.
You then no longer derive your identity,
your sense of who you are,
from the incessant stream of thinking
that in the old consciousness
you take to be yourself.
What a liberation to realize that the "voice in my head"
is not who I am.
Who am I then?
The one who sees that.
The awareness that is prior to thought,
the space in which the thought --
or the emotion or sense perception --
happens.
~ Eckhart Tolle
