When you meet with people,

at work or wherever it may be,

give them your fullest attention.

You are no longer there primarily as a person,

but as a field of awareness,

of alert Presence.

The original reason for interacting with the other person ~

buying or selling something,

requesting or giving information,

and so on ~~ now becomes secondary.

The field of awareness that arises between you

becomes the primary purpose for the interaction.

That space of awareness becomes more important

than what you may be talking about,

more important than physical or thought objects.

The human Being becomes more important than the things of this world.



The arising of that unifying field of awareness

between human beings

is the most essential factor

in relationships on the new earth.




~ Eckhart Tolle

Hullo! I wish I had read this long ago, when I suffered the incongruity between the emerging human relation in any engagement, and the purported demands of economy-society-culture...! But now, being older and somewhat wiser, I know a bit more about what is what, and what to do when! Thank you! Best, rama

"The field of awareness that arises between you becomes the primary purpose for the interaction."
