Presence remains even amidst worldly activities. Stillness is there even when you're doing something quickly, like rushing to answer the phone. Otherwise you would be condemned to moving in slow motion.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The problems that we are facing are multiplying on the planet - economic, environmental, social, political upheaval, the list goes on. It's a time of change and transition and, as I see it, we are entering a new state of consciousness. It's a transition between one state of consciousness and another. It's an evolutionary leap that is happening.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Create a gap of no-mind in which you are highly alert and aware but not thinking. This is the essence of meditation.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Don't get stuck on the level of words. A word is no more than a means to an end. It's an abstraction. Not unlike a signpost, it points beyond itself
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The teaching arises out of the stillness. But when I'm alone, there's only the stillness, and that is my favorite place.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Music creates a bridge for people to move out of thinking and into presence.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The present moment is all you ever have. There is never a time when your life is not 'this moment.' Is this not a fact?
Eckhart Tolle
Image
What I know for sure is that I am a temporary expression in physical form of the one consciousness that expresses itself throughout the universe. I am not separate from that.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When you recognize this, you also realize that you are now free to give up this futile conflict, this inner state of war.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
To the ego, the present moment hardly exists. Only past and future are considered important. This total reversal of the truth accounts for the fact that in the ego mode the mind is so dysfunctional. It is always concerned with keeping the past alive, because without it - who are you?
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The present moment holds the key to liberation. But you cannot find the present moment as long as you are your mind.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Where ever you are, be there totally.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When one child says to another, I can do this, I bet you can't My dad has a bigger car than yours or, My dad is stronger than yours. Children identify with this or that, trying to build up a sense of self - a mentally defined sense of self.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
It may look as if the situation is creating the suffering, but ultimately this is not so - your resistance is.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You must have failed deeply on some level or experienced some deep loss or pain to be drawn to the spiritual dimension. Or perhaps your very success became empty and meaningless and so turned out to be a failure.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
One way to become aware many times during the day is to take a conscious breath. Doing so breaks the stream of thinking.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Whatever you think people are withholding from you-praise, appreciation, assistance, loving care, and so on-give it to them.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Nothing that you plan is going to work out. Everything is going to be totally different than the way you expected. And things will constantly challenge you. Wherever you look the world is not as solid it seems to be.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
What could be more futile, more insane, than to create inner resistance to something that already is?
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When you awaken spiritually, in fact, you can use thought much more effectively than before, but you realize there is a depth to your Being, a vibrantly alive stillness that is much vaster than thought. It is consciousness itself, of which the thinking mind is only a tiny aspect.
