Bring awareness to the many subtle sounds of nature - The rustling of leaves in the wind, Raindrops falling, The humming of an insect, The first birdsong at dawn.
Eckhart TolleRead
Mastery of life is not a question of control, but of finding a balance between human and being...Human is form. Being is formless. Human and Being are not separate but interwoven.
Interpretation
Mastery of life involves balancing our physical existence with our spiritual essence.
In this quote, Eckhart Tolle emphasizes that true mastery over life comes not from exerting control but from understanding the interplay between our physical being (the human aspect) and our deeper, formless essence (the being aspect). He highlights that they are not distinct entities but are intricately connected, suggesting that harmony is achieved when we recognize and embrace both aspects of ourselves.

I think 'The Act of Killing' forced people to look at the problem, but the problem is actually a state run by thugs, or a shadow state, a part of the state that's run by thugs, and a military that enjoys complete legal - not just impunity, but immunity.
