Give up defining yourself—to yourself or to others. You won’t die. You will come to life. And don’t be concerned with how others define you. When they define you, they are limiting themselves, so it’s their problem. Whenever you interact with people, don’t be there primarily as a function or a role, but as the field of conscious Presence. You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are.
— Eckhart Tolle

The Law of Maintenance:
What goes unfed weakens; what gets fed grows stronger. Either the intellectual-emotional complex feeds on the attention and grows stronger, while the attention grows weaker, is caught by every easy breeze, easily distracted and taken by every stray thought // emotion; or the attention feeds on the intellectual-emotional complex and grows stronger, more stable, able to hold steady for longer periods of time, able to avoid distraction, able to remain free and stable in the midst of the fiercest intellectual // emotional storms.
The aim for the mature soul is a free and stable attention even in the moment of the body's death. The soul is attention; It does not pay attention, it IS attention (consciousness). I am attention.
— Red Hawk, 'Self Observation'
