More quotes by Eckhart Tolle
That stillness and vastness that enables the Universe to be, is not just out there in space...it is also within you.
Eckhart Tolle
Death is the moment of form dissolving. When that dissolving is not resisted, an opening appears into the dimension of the sacred, into the One formless, unmanifested Life. This is why death is such an incredible opportunity. There is no transformation of human consciousness without the dissolving that death brings.
Eckhart Tolle
The past has no power over the present moment.
Eckhart Tolle
When each thought absorbs your attention completely, it means you identify with the voice in your head. Thought then becomes invested with a sense of self. This is the ego, a mind-made me. That mentally constructed self feels incomplete and precarious. That's why fearing and wanting are its predominant emotions and motivating forces.
Eckhart Tolle
If the thought of lack -whether it be money, recognition, or love has become part of who you think you are, you will always experience lack. Rather than acknowledge the good that is already in your life, all you see is lack.
Eckhart Tolle
The mental suffering you create is always some form of non-acceptance, some form of unconscious resistance to what is. On the level of thought, the resistance is some form of judgement. The intensity of the suffering depends on the degree of resistance to the present moment.
Eckhart Tolle
When you are trapped in a nightmare, your motivation to awaken will be so much greater than that of someone caught up in a relatively pleasant dream.
Eckhart Tolle
Music creates a bridge for people to move out of thinking and into presence.
Eckhart Tolle
A self - a me - exists in every thought and every emotion. Suffering arises through complete identification with thinking and emotions.
Eckhart Tolle
You are the Universe expressing itself as a human for a little while.
Eckhart Tolle
What will be left of all the fearing and wanting associated with your problematic life situation that every day takes up most of your attention? A dash, one or two inches long, between the date of birth and date of death on your gravestone.
Eckhart Tolle
Everything is shown up by being exposed to the light, and whatever is exposed to the light itself becomes light.
Eckhart Tolle
A built-in reminder is the simple understanding that whenever any kind of unhappiness arises, you know you've lost the now. That's a built-in alarm clock. The moment you realize you've lost the now, come back to the now.
Eckhart Tolle
Just as dogs love to chew bones, the mind loves to get its teeth into problems. That's why it does crossword puzzles and builds atom bombs.
Eckhart Tolle
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
To recognize one's own insanity is, of course, the arising of sanity, the beginning of healing and transcendence.
Eckhart Tolle
You are never more essentially, more deeply, yourself than when you are still.
Eckhart Tolle
You can't wait for the end of your problems for you to be present. It has to be done whereever you are - which is now
Eckhart Tolle
You create a good future by creating a good present. How do you do that? By recognizing the goodness that is already inherent in the present moment, even in the midst of challenges. Discontent, blaming, complaining, self-pity cannot serve as a foundation for a good future, no matter how much effort you make.
Eckhart Tolle
For the ego to survive, it must make time - past and future - more important than the present moment.
Eckhart Tolle
