Brian Cox
“We are the cosmos made conscious and life is the means by which the universe understands itself.”
Brian Cox

Eckhart Tolle
“The moment you become aware of the ego in you, it is strictly speaking no longer the ego, but just an old, conditioned mind-pattern. Ego implies unawareness. Awareness and ego cannot coexist.”
Eckhart Tolle
