Clearing the “Excess Baggage” of Unhappiness | Eckhart Tolle Teachings

We’re called to a radical faith. We know we’re approaching the cusp of this holy trust when we do things in faith that seem to make no sense to the worldly person in us and others, without actually sabotaging our own or anyone else’s life.

Often people are looking at the wrong sources and individuals because they think that if they own or connect with particular things or people, respectively, they will magically discover who they are and their purpose.

We need principles that will encourage us to resist various temptations in a day when it is fairly common to compromise and water down standards of morality and spirituality. Here is a lesson that I have learned and it has stood me in good stead over these many years. Surely there has to be some moderation? Can we not just serve, somewhere in the middle, with a foot in both camps? No. Jesus never taught that for some it would be all right to be partially committed, but going on to express the need for a few deeply committed men and women who really wanted to go all the way on this discipleship course. There is no double standard!
