Eckhart Tolle, on Our Essential Nature

To which, I would only add, this “life” that runs through all forms, is also the essential intelligence. Everything, every form, is, has, is fueled by, this self-same awareness or intelligence — the expression of which depends on the shape and sensory apparatus of that particular form. I finally recognized this when I realized that my little dog, whom I had been feeling sorry for because he has no opposable thumbs with which to fashion and or handle “stuff,” might just feel sorry for me because I don’t have his extraordinarily sensitive nose for keeping track of just who goes where when.
