Surrender is surrender to this moment, not to a story through which you interpret this moment and then try to resign yourself to it.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Nonresistance, nonjudgment, and nonattachment are the three aspects of true freedom and enlightened living.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The false self lives mainly through memory and anticipation. Past and future are its main preoccupation.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
People are amazed to realize they can enjoy the moment rather than be stressed by it when hurrying to an appointment. You can enjoy the energy movement of the moment when you do not have a mental projection of a future moment you need to get to. You still know that you need to get there, but it is the secondary consideration.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Surrendering only refers to this moment, whatever is at this moment - to accept unconditionally and fully whatever arises at this moment.
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

The 'soul' is one of the words you can use to talk about your innermost being, the essence of who you are.
Eckhart Tolle

Allow nature to teach you stillness.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
With stillness comes the benediction of peace”. “Thinking isolates a situation or event and calls it good or bad, as if it had a separate existence. Through excessive reliance on thinking, reality becomes fragmented. This fragmentation is an illusion, but seems very real while you are trapped in it.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When you live in complete acceptance of what is, that is the end of all drama in your life.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
As long as we define ourselves in terms of our pain and our problems, we will never be free from them.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You can be effective in this world without stress.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Terrorism is an example of that extreme madness. People blow themselves up just to kill others. Unconscious reaction to terrorism is equal madness.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
I'm grateful for always this moment, the now, no matter what form it takes.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
If there are people you haven't forgiven, you're not going to really awaken. You have to let go.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
True happiness is found in simple, seemingly unremarkable things.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Knowing yourself is to be rooted in Being, instead of lost in your mind.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Emotion in itself is not unhappiness. Only emotion plus an unhappy story is unhappiness
Eckhart Tolle
Image
If we don't change, if the egoic consciousness continues, I don't believe that humanity as a species can survive, or at least human civilization can survive, for another hundred years.
