Chapter 8: The Discovery of Inner Space

In Chapter 8 of “A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose,”
author Eckhart Tolle explains how we can discover our inner space. That
inner space is realized when one recognizes the enormous empowerment of
four little words of wisdom from an ancient Sufi story, expressed in “This, too, will pass.” The
author uses these words in a story to relate to readers the importance
of finding peace in every situation in our lives by remaining in a
state of detachment.

Consider this: " Nonresistance, nonjudgment and nonattachment are the three aspects of true freedom and enlightened living.” --page 225

When you recognize that “This, too, will pass”
signifies detachment from outcomes and past occurrences, you will find
that inner space. By not judging and not resisting, you gain a better
appreciation of and understanding of that inner space. The realization
comes as a stillness and a space develops between your thoughts. The
space between your thoughts is the discovery of inner space. Peace is
there. That peace is the peace of God.

Can you be still long enough to know that “This too, will pass?”
