For many people, illness - loss of health - represents the crisis situation that triggers an awakening. With serious illness comes awareness of your own mortality, the greatest loss of all.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The actual experience of awakening can only be in the present moment.

Seek out a tree and let it teach you stillness.
Eckhart Tolle

Suffering begins when you mentally label a situation as bad. That causes an emotional contraction. When you let it be, without naming it, enormous power is available to you. The contraction cuts you off from that power, the power of life itself.
Eckhart Tolle

Thought alone cannot recognize spiritual truths no matter how highly developed thought is. It's impossible.
Eckhart Tolle

Eckhart Tolle

Failures lies concealed in every success in every failure.
Eckhart Tolle

... inherited collective mind-patterns ... have kept humans in bondage to suffering for eons.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
With stillness comes the benediction of Peace.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
If you find here & now intolerable, you have options: remove yourself from the situation, change it, or accept it totally.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You are not a problem that needs solving.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
If you are trying to get from here to there, and you already are late, you know that you are late, and yet you are aligned with the present moment while you are stuck in a traffic jam. You are totally accepting of the moment.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The only thing you ever have is now.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When great loss happens - deaths close to you or your own approaching death - this is an opportunity for stepping completely out of identification with form and realizing the essence of who you are, or that the essence of anyone who is suffering or dying is beyond death.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Focus your attention on the Now and tell me what problem you have at this moment.
