The mind is a superb instrument if used rightly. Used wrongly, however, it becomes very destructive. To put it more accurately... you usually don't use it at all. It uses you.

More quotes by Eckhart Tolle
The sun never sets. It is only an appearance due to the observer's limited perspective. And yet, what a sublime illusion it is.
Eckhart Tolle
Feel the energy of your inner body. Immediately mental noise slows down or ceases. Feel it in your hands, your feet, your abdomen, your chest. Feel the life that you are, the life that animates the body. The body then becomes a doorway, so to speak, into a deeper sense of aliveness underneath the fluctuating emotions and underneath your thinking.
Eckhart Tolle
Awareness is the greatest agent for change.
Eckhart Tolle
Since ancient times, spiritual masters of all traditions have pointed to the Now as the key to the spiritual dimension. Despite this, it seems to have remained a secret.
Eckhart Tolle
The whole world changes when there's presence - sunlight everywhere - because you're not separate from the world.
Eckhart Tolle
True communication is communion-the realization of oneness, which is love.
Eckhart Tolle
To listen to the silence, wherever you are, is an easy and direct way of becoming present. Even if there is noise, there is always some silence underneath and in between the sounds. Listening to the silence immediately creates stillness inside you.
Eckhart Tolle
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.
Eckhart Tolle
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
Some changes look negative on the surface but you will soon realize that space is being created in your life for something new to emerge.
Eckhart Tolle
Teaching a practice can also be a hindrance if it becomes one's identity. To be a spiritual teacher is a temporary function. I'm a spiritual teacher when somebody comes to me and some teaching happens, but the moment they leave I'm no longer a spiritual teacher. If I carry the identity of spiritual teacher, it will cause suffering.
Eckhart Tolle
Spiritual Awakening is awakening from the dream of thought.
Eckhart Tolle
If increased meta-knowledge is not counter-balanced by a corresponding growth in consciousness then the likelihood of psycho-spiritual dysfunction is great.
Eckhart Tolle
Creativity arises out of the state of thoughtless presence in which you are much more awake than when you are engrossed in thinking.
Eckhart Tolle
It is much more likely that help comes in when what you are doing is done while you are in a state of inner peace, rather than resistance.
Eckhart Tolle
Everything flows with much greater ease when people live as one with the present moment.
Eckhart Tolle
You don't 'have' a life, you 'are' life. The One Life, the one consciousness that pervades the entire universe and takes temporary form to experience itself as a stone or blade of grass, as an animal, a person, a star or a galaxy.
Eckhart Tolle
If we don't change, if the egoic consciousness continues, I don't believe that humanity as a species can survive, or at least human civilization can survive, for another hundred years.
Eckhart Tolle
Loss of meaning is often part of the suffering that comes with physical loss, but it can also happen to people who have gained everything the world has to offer - who have made it in the eyes of the world - and suddenly find that their success or possessions are empty and unfulfilling.
Eckhart Tolle
As soon as the mind and mind identification return you're no longer yourself but a mental image of yourself, and you start playing games and roles again to get your ego needs met.
Eckhart Tolle
