Quote

Many people in this world are still so identified with every thought that arises in their head. There is not the slightest space of awareness there.

Allow your dog to take you for a walk every day. It's good for the body and it's good for the soul.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Death is not the opposite of life. Life has no opposite. Death is the opposite of birth.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Of course, most of the people in this world are stressed, and most of those who are not stressed are totally bored!
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The particular egoic patterns that you react to most strongly in others and misperceive as their identity tend to be the same patterns that are also in you, but that you are unable or unwilling to detect within yourself.
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.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
To awaken within the dream is our purpose now. When we are awake within the dream, the ego-created earth-drama comes to an end and a more benign and wonderous dream arises.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Life will give you whatever experience is most helpful for the evolution of your consciousness. How do you know this is the experience you need? Because this is the experience you are having at the moment.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
One only needs to read twentieth-century history to see that it has been the climax of human madness, if it's measured in terms of human violence inflicted on other humans.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When you know who you truly are, there is an abiding alive sense of peace. You could call it joy because that's what joy is: vibrantly alive peace. It is the joy of knowing yourself as the very life essence before life takes on form. That is the joy of Being - of being who you truly are.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Welcome to the present moment. Here. Now. The only moment there ever is.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Neither concepts nor mathematical formulae can explain the infinite.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Joy is uncaused and arises from within as the joy of Being. It is an essential part of the inner state of peace, the state that has been called the peace of God. It is your natural state, not something that you need to work hard for or struggle to attain.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
All you can do is create a space for transformation to happen, for grace and love to enter.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Until presence becomes your predominant state, you may find yourself moving back and forth for a while between the old consciousness and the new, between mind identification and presence.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Nothing that comes and goes is you. 'I am bored.' Who knows this? 'I am angry, sad, afraid.' Who knows this? You are the knowing, not the condition that is known.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You take a journey into the Unmanifested every night when you enter the phase of deep dreamless sleep. You merge with the Source. You draw from it the vital energy that sustains you for a while when you return to the manifested, the world of separate forms.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Stress is a form of suffering, but it is accepted as normal. And it is normal in our world.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Ask yourself what problem you have right now. Not next year, tomorrow or five minutes from now. You can always cope with the now, but you can never cope with the future. Nor do you have to. The answer, the strength and the right action will be there when you need it. Not before or after.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
So love is the recognition of oneness in a world of duality. This is the birth of God into the world of form. Love makes the world less worldly, less dense, more transparent to the divine dimension, the light of consciousness itself.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Evolution usually occurs in response to a crisis situation, and we now are faced with such a crisis situation. This is why there is indeed an enormous acceleration in the awakening process of our species.
