Christ is your God-essence or the Self, as it is sometimes called in the East. The only difference between Christ and presence is that Christ refers to your indwelling divinity regardless of whether you are conscious of it or not, whereas presence means your awakened divinity or God-essence.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
To experience anything fully and see it clearly there must be a moment of presence where conceptual thinking is not interfering with your experience of that moment.

As the character changes in the movie, it rubs off on the viewer, so the viewer also goes through that change.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Prejudice of any kind implies that you are identified with the thinking mind. It means you don't see the other human being anymore, but only your own concept of that human being. To reduce the aliveness of another human being to a concept is already a form of violence.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
If you cannot accept an external event immediately, then some kind of resistance will come up. And there may be some external events you cannot accept at all.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You can have religion with spirituality. You can also have religion without spirituality.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Anything that you resent and strongly react to in another is also in you.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Where ever you are, be there totally.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
To me, inner and outer are so strongly linked that any collective change that happens within human beings, within the human psyche, inevitably will be reflected externally in what happens on the whole planet.

The past has no power over the present moment.
