Awareness is the power that is concealed within the present moment. … The ultimate purpose of human existence, which is to say, your purpose, is to bring that power into this world.

More quotes by Eckhart Tolle
Underneath the world of sense perceptions and the world of mind activity, there is the vastness of being. There's a vast spaciousness. There's a vast stillness and there's a little ripple activity on the surface, which isn't separate, just like the ripples are not separate from the ocean.
Eckhart Tolle
Even running to catch a train or a taxi, you can enjoy the high energy of the moment.
Eckhart Tolle
Suffering has a noble purpose: the evolution of consciousness and the burning up of the ego.
Eckhart Tolle
The more you make your thoughts and beliefs into your identity, the more cut off you are from the spiritual dimension within yourself.
Eckhart Tolle
Enlightened groups can exist, as long as the individuals' sense of identity is not derived from a mentally defined image of us.
Eckhart Tolle
The other person's presence ultimately is the same as your presence, because it is in presence that there is true meeting.
Eckhart Tolle
Every morning we awaken from sleep and from our dreams and enter the state we call wakefulness. A continuous stream of thoughts, most of them repetitive, characterizes the normal wakeful state.
Eckhart Tolle
The past has no power over the present moment.
Eckhart Tolle
To offer no resistance to life is to be in a state of grace, ease, and lightness.
Eckhart Tolle
Don't seek happiness. If you seek it, you won't find it, because seeking is the antithesis of happiness. Happiness is ever elusive, but freedom from unhappiness is attainable now, by facing what is rather than making up stories about it.
Eckhart Tolle
Give up defining yourself - to yourself or to others. You won't die. You will come to life.
Eckhart Tolle
The ego is just waiting to identify with anything. Whether it's your misery or being a great meditator, it seeks some identification.
Eckhart Tolle
The way I feel is that there is a balance in my life between being alone and interacting with people, between Being and doing.
Eckhart Tolle
People believe that when they say yes to this moment, things won't change anymore. They're afraid that if they accept what is, whatever form this moment takes, they're going to be stuck forever in this moment that they don't like: this job or relationship or whatever situation they're in that they don't like. But this is not true.
Eckhart Tolle
I teach that we must go beyond pure ego-consciousness and move to a new manifestation of energy karma force.
Eckhart Tolle
Spiritual awakening - is becoming awake to the aliveness of this moment.
Eckhart Tolle
Peace can be threatening because peace is the absence of problems and conflict. There is something, perhaps in the personal you, that does not want freedom or peace, or the absence of problems. There's something that wants the opposite.
Eckhart Tolle
To offer no resistance to life is to be in a state of grace, ease, and lightness. This state is then no longer dependent upon things being in a certain way, good or bad. It seems almost paradoxical, yet when your inner dependency on form is gone, the general conditions of your life, the outer forms, tend to improve greatly.
Eckhart Tolle
Be the silent watcher of your thoughts and behavior. You are beneath the thinker. You are the stillness beneath the mental noise. You are the love and joy beneath the pain.
Eckhart Tolle
The quicker you are in attaching verbal or mental labels to things, people, or situations, the more shallow and lifeless your reality becomes, and the more deadened you become to reality
Eckhart Tolle
