Through forgiveness, which essentially means recognizing the insubstantiality of the past and allowing the present moment to be as it is, the miracle of transformation happens not only within but also without.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You take a journey into the Unmanifested every night when you enter the phase of deep dreamless sleep. You merge with the Source. You draw from it the vital energy that sustains you for a while when you return to the manifested, the world of separate forms.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
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
Image
Resistance is weakness and fear masquerading as strength. What the ego sees as weakness is your Being in its purity, innocence, and power. What it sees as strength is weakness.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Use whatever challenge comes into your life as a kind of fuel for the flame of consciousness. That is done through surrender to what is. Some people may need more of that than others. If you choose presence in your daily life you may not need the drastic challenges.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Love is a state of Being. Your love is not outside it is deep within you. You can never lose it, and it cannot leave you. It is not dependent on some other body, some external form.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Life is an adventure, it's not a package tour.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
I had been anxious and depressed for years and suddenly I was deeply at peace.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Enlightened groups can exist, as long as the individuals' sense of identity is not derived from a mentally defined image of us.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Stress is caused by being 'here' but wanting to be 'there'.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Science and technology have amplified the effects of the dysfunction of the human mind in its unawakened state to such a degree that humanity, and probably the planet, would not survive for another hundred years if human consciousness remains unchanged.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
So the single most vital step on your journey towards enlightenment is this: learn to disidentify from your mind.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
To have your attention in the Now is not a denial of what is needed in your life. It is recognition of what is primary.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Silence is helpful, but you don't need it in order to find stillness. Even when there is noise, you can be aware of the stillness underneath the noise, of the space in which the noise arises. That is the inner space of pure awareness, consciousness itself.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
For years my life alternated between depression and acute anxiety. One night I woke up in a state of dread and intense fear, more intense than I had ever experienced before. Life seemed meaningless, barren, hostile. It became so unbearable that suddenly the thought came into my mind, I cannot live with myself any longer.
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.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You are not IN the universe, you ARE the universe.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Space is a unifying field of awareness in which you meet the other person without the separative barriers created by conceptual thinking. And now the other person is no longer 'other.' In that space, you are joined together as one awareness, one consciousness.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Each person's life – each lifeform, in fact – represents a world, a unique way in which the universe experiences itself.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
What you react to in others, you strengthen in yourself.
