believes that your thoughts aren't who you are. He believes your thoughts are your ego trying to run your life. Tolle believes you are the entity watching and listening to your thoughts.

Tolle says that thoughts about the past are not real, they are the ego causing anxiety, and worries about the future are also not real, but the ego again causing worry. It is ok to learn from the past and plan for the future but that happens when one is aware of one's thoughts.

The only thing that is real is the present moment. When I wait in line, I enjoy the moment.

Wine is good, getting drunk as a skunk is not. I have a glass but I have to watch because I have been without A-fib for 2 years since my successful ablation.
