"Even the great scientists have reported that..." - Quote by Eckhart Tolle
Even the great scientists have reported that their creative break-throughs came at a time of mental quietude.

“For the ego to survive, it must make time - past and future - more important than the present moment.”
“Nations consist of individuals. It is for every individual to bring in a different quality - the quality of awakened consciousness - into their lives.”
“The characters get challenged. Through getting challenged, the character arrives at insights or discovers potentials that he or she didn't know they had.”

“Who can wait in stillness while the mud settles?”
“To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders.”
“Peacefulness is an inner sense of calm - it comes from becoming still - in order to reflect and meditate on our inner wisdom and receive answers. A peaceful heart is one that is free from worry and rouble. It's becoming quiet so we can look at things quietly so we can more clearly understand them and thus come up with creative solutions. It is learning to live in the present. Freedom from desire leads to inner peace.”
