'The world can only change from within'

"When you are present in this moment, you break the continuity of your story, of past and future.
Then true intelligence arises, and also love.
The only way love can come into your life is not through form, but through that inner spaciousness that is Presence.
Love has no form."

- Excerpt from Eckhart Tolle's Stillness Amidst the World

"This book’s main purpose is not to add new information or beliefs to your mind or to try to convince you of anything,but to bring about a shift in consciousness, that is to
say, to awaken. In that sense, this book is not “interesting.”
Interesting means you can keep your distance, play around with ideas and concepts in your mind, agree or disagree.
This book is about you. It will change your state of consciousness
or it will be meaningless.
It can only awaken those who are ready. Not everyone is ready yet, but many are, and with each person who awakens, the momentum in the collective consciousness grows, and it becomes easier for others. If you don’t know what awakening means, read on. Only by awakening can you know the true meaning of that word. A glimpse is enough to initiate the awakening process, which is irreversible.
For some, that glimpse will come while reading this book. For many others who may not even have realized it, the process has already begun.This book will help them recognize it. For some, it may have begun through loss or suffering; for others, through coming into contact with a spiritual teacher or teaching,through reading The Power of Now or some other spiritually alive and therefore transformational book—or any combination of the above. If the awakening process has begun in you, the reading of this book will accelerate and intensify it.
An essential part of the awakening is the recognition of
the unawakened you, the ego as it thinks, speaks, and acts, as well as the recognition of the collectively conditioned mental processes that perpetuate the unawakened state.

That is why this book shows the main aspects of the ego and how they operate in the individual as well as in the collective.
This is important for two related reasons: The first is that unless you know the basic mechanics behind the workings of the ego, you won’t recognize it, and it will trick you into identifying with it again and again.
This means it takes you over, an imposter pretending to be you.
The second reason is that the act of recognition itself is one
of the ways in which awakening happens. When you recognize the unconsciousness in you, that which makes the recognition possible is the arising consciousness, is awakening.
You cannot fight against the ego and win, just as you
cannot fight against darkness. The light of consciousness is all that is necessary. You are that light." Eckhart Tolle
