How Obsessive Thoughts Can Dominate Your Reality | Eckhart Tolle Teachings

I'm talking about obsessive thoughts that are probably not correct. And then your subsequent perception of reality gets totally colored by the obsessive thoughts. And it can explain everything in those terms. All the evils of the world have suddenly one explanation. Another one that's also in the collective. You can have a thought that the entire world is divided into oppressor and oppressed. Any human being either belongs to the oppressors or to the oppressed. That was an idea in communism.

Traditionally, you now recognize your sins. And you will atone for your sins of being an oppressor. And you side with the oppressed. And therefore you become one of the good people. It.
