More quotes by Eckhart Tolle
Knowing yourself is to be rooted in Being, instead of lost in your mind.
Eckhart Tolle
You are the sky. The clouds are what happens, what comes and goes.
Eckhart Tolle
Neither failure nor success has the power to change your inner state of Being.
Eckhart Tolle
I am not my thoughts, emotions, sense perceptions, and experiences. I am not the content of my life. I am Life. I am the space in which all things happen. I am consciousness. I am the Now. I Am.
Eckhart Tolle
To offer no resistance to life is to be in a state of grace, ease, and lightness.
Eckhart Tolle
If you are not taking responsibility for your state of consciousness, you are not taking responsibility for life.
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
Hang on to the inner body, let it be the anchor, then you're present. If they say something challenging and you lose it again, pause, and anchor again. Practice, practice, continuous practice-becaus e when you're in touch with the inner body, spaciousness arises.
Eckhart Tolle
Inner resistance to whatever arises in the present moment pulls you back into unconsciousness. Inner resistance is some form of negativity, complaining, fear, aggression, or anger. This is important because whenever you complain about what somebody else does you're already beginning to fall into that trap of unconsciousness.
Eckhart Tolle
Teaching a practice can also be a hindrance if it becomes one's identity. To be a spiritual teacher is a temporary function. I'm a spiritual teacher when somebody comes to me and some teaching happens, but the moment they leave I'm no longer a spiritual teacher. If I carry the identity of spiritual teacher, it will cause suffering.
Eckhart Tolle
The vital function that pets fulfill in this world hasn't been fully recognized. They keep millions of people sane.
Eckhart Tolle
Many people in this world are still so identified with every thought that arises in their head. There is not the slightest space of awareness there.
Eckhart Tolle
The whole world changes when there's presence - sunlight everywhere - because you're not separate from the world.
Eckhart Tolle
Through being right, you feel superior and through feeling superior you strengthen your sense of self. In reality, of course, you are only strengthening the illusion of ego.
Eckhart Tolle
The soul is your innermost being. The presence that you are beyond form. The consciousness that you are beyond form, that is the soul. That is who you are in essence.
Eckhart Tolle
The present moment is all you ever have.
Eckhart Tolle
And whenever you feel that essence in another, you also feel it in yourself.
Eckhart Tolle
The greatest achievement of humanity is not its works of art, science, or technology, but the recognition of its own dysfunction.
Eckhart Tolle
Failures lies concealed in every success in every failure.
Eckhart Tolle
If you are not living this moment, you are not really living.
Eckhart Tolle
