The animals are at a level prior to thinking. They haven't lost themselves in thought. We rise above thinking and then we meet them again, where we're both in no-thought. There's a deep connection.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Loss is very painful, because any kind of loss leaves a hole in the fabric of one's existence.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You are not a problem that needs solving.
Eckhart Tolle

Challenges are something that can only be tackled in the present moment and require action.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Love is a state of Being. Your love is not outside it is deep within you. You can never lose it, and it cannot leave you. It is not dependent on some other body, some external form.

Silence is helpful, but you don't need it in order to find stillness. Even when there is noise, you can be aware of the stillness underneath the noise, of the space in which the noise arises. That is the inner space of pure awareness, consciousness itself.

Eckhart Tolle
Image
When you take your attention into the present moment, a certain alertness arises. You become more conscious of what's around you, but also, strangely, a sense of presence that is both within and without.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Enlightenment means rising above thought, not falling back to a level below thought, the level of an animal or a plant. In the enlightened state, you still use your thinking mind when needed, but in a much more focused and effective way than before.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
If you completely accept something, it changes. If you completely accept it, it shifts.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Sometimes people need to experience great loss to really be driven deeper.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
I had been anxious and depressed for years and suddenly I was deeply at peace.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
For most people, spiritual awakening is a gradual process. Rarely does it happen all at once. When it does, though, it is usually brought about by intense suffering.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Neither failure nor success has the power to change your inner state of Being.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
If you keep your attention in the body as much as possible, you will be anchored in the Now. You won't lose yourself in the external world, and you won't lose yourself in your mind. Thoughts and emotions, fears and desires may still be there to some extent, but they won't take you over.
