In this brief teaching, Eckhart Tolle points out that most people define themselves by three layers: the physical body, the stream of thoughts (the psychological mind), and the emotions that accompany those thoughts. He emphasizes that these three components are commonly taken as the whole of a person, but suggests that there is a deeper sense of self that exists beyond the body, mind, and emotions.
