Non-reaction to the ego in others is one of the most effective ways not only of going beyond ego in yourself but also of dissolving the collective human ego.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
A culture that denies death inevitably becomes shallow and superficial, concerned only with the external form of things. When death is denied, life loses its depth.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Where ever you are, be there totally.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
There are situations when all answers and explanations fade. When you fully accept that you do not know, you give up struggling to find answers with the limited thinking mind. That is when the greater intelligence can operate though you. Sometimes surrender means giving up trying to understand and becoming comfortable with not knowing.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
One way of pointing to this realization is, when you think you have big problems, ask yourself, What problem do I have at this moment? Usually, you will find that you don't have a problem at this moment because you're sitting here and you're breathing, you're looking out the window, and it's fine.

Peace comes from being aligned with the present moment. Wherever you are, you feel that you are home—because you are home.

In fact, people think you have to be stressed to be successful. They think if you are not stressed, something is wrong with you.

Just as the sun is infinitely brighter than a candle flame, there is infinitely more intelligence in Being than in your mind
Eckhart Tolle
Image
As you go about your life, don't give 100 percent of your attention to the external world and your mind. Keep some within.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Be aware that what you think, to a large extent, creates the emotions that you feel. See the link between your thinking and your emotions. Rather than being your thoughts and emotions, be the awareness behind them.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Your true evolution is not what you do out there. That's secondary. Your true evolution is to do with the arising of awareness in you as you go about your life.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
All inner resistance is experienced as negativity in one form or another. All negativity is resistance. In this context, the two words are almost synonymous. Negativity ranges from irritation or impatience to fierce anger, from a depressed mood or sullen resentment to suicidal despair. Sometimes the resistance triggers the emotional pain body
Eckhart Tolle
Image
In this way, a permanent energy field of a pure and high frequency will arise between you. No illusion, no pain, no conflict, nothing that is not you, and nothing that is not love can survive in it. This represents the the fulfillment of the divine transpersonal purpose of your relationship.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
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
Image
What you encounter at your destination once you get there depends on the quality of this one step. Another way of putting it: What the future holds for you depends on your state of consciousness now.
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.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
All it takes is a simple choice, a simple decision: no matter what happens, I will create no more pain for myself. I will create no more problems.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When the basis for your actions is inner alignment with the present moment, your actions become empowered by the intelligence of life itself.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You need no time to open yourself to the power of now and so awaken to who you are beyond name and form and realize that in the depth of your being, you are already complete, whole, one with the timeless essence of all life.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
I sometimes get a distorted view of how quickly humans are evolving, because I meet many people who are evolving beyond ego. Then I have to switch on the TV to realize, Oh, no, it is not happening to everybody yet. But it is happening.
