"Our mind is possessing us, and that we are all sick, that we all have a disease of "thinking" all the time. We're never in the moment, always past or future."

~ Eckart Tolle

Sadly I believe this is true with the majority of people.


I think you misinterpreted the meaning. I believe it is more an absolute, a reflection on the nature of the human mind. It is an affliction we all suffer from and can not remove ourselves from. Not a statement that we should be living in the moment, for in truth, removing concern of past and future is argueably a worse fate.


Read the second line and how we are never in the moment.  What you say is true but it is a continuation.
