Man Made 'God' in his own image. The eternal, the infinate, the unnameable was reduced to a mental idol that you had to believe in and worship as 'my god' or 'our god'.

More quotes by Eckhart Tolle
The problems that we are facing are multiplying on the planet - economic, environmental, social, political upheaval, the list goes on. It's a time of change and transition and, as I see it, we are entering a new state of consciousness. It's a transition between one state of consciousness and another. It's an evolutionary leap that is happening.
Eckhart Tolle
Don't wait to be successful at some future point, have a successful relationship with the present moment and be fully present in whatever you are doing. That is success.
Eckhart Tolle
Every spiritual teaching points to the possibility of the end of suffering - Now. It is true that most teachers have had to go through the Dark Night of the Soul, although for one or two it was very, very quick.
Eckhart Tolle
Negative states of mind, such as anger, resentment, fear, envy, and jealousy, are products of the ego.
Eckhart Tolle
The joy of Being, which is the only true happiness, cannot come to you through any form, possession, achievement, person, or event - through anything that happens. That joy cannot come to you - ever. It emanates from the formless dimension within you, from consciousness itself and thus is one with who you are.
Eckhart Tolle
For spiritual teachers, it is important not to identify with the image people inevitably have of them.
Eckhart Tolle
The great arises out of small things that are honored and cared for. Everybody's life really consists of small things. Greatness is a mental abstraction and a favorite fantasy of the ego. The paradox is that the foundation for greatness is the honoring of small things of the present moment instead of pursuing the idea of greatness.
Eckhart Tolle
The great arises out of small things that are honored and cared for.
Eckhart Tolle
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
Wake up. Get out of your mind. Be present.
Eckhart Tolle
Don't get stuck on the level of words. A word is no more than a means to an end. It's an abstraction. Not unlike a signpost, it points beyond itself
Eckhart Tolle
True change happens within, not without. Find the Now within. Everybody you come in contact with will be touched by your presence and affected by the peace that you emanate, whether they are conscious of it or not.
Eckhart Tolle
People don't realize that now is all there ever is there is no past or future except as memory or anticipation in your mind.
Eckhart Tolle
Enthusiasm cannot be a continuous state. It comes in waves.
Eckhart Tolle
As soon as the mind and mind identification return you're no longer yourself but a mental image of yourself, and you start playing games and roles again to get your ego needs met.
Eckhart Tolle
Many adults play roles when they speak to young children. They use silly words and sounds. They talk down to the child. They don't treat the child as an equal. The fact that you temporarily know more, or you're bigger does not mean the child is not your equal.
Eckhart Tolle
Accept the present moment and find the perfection that is deeper than any form and untouched by time.
Eckhart Tolle
The past has no power over the present moment.
Eckhart Tolle
You need to learn to be with the suffering that inevitably arises in your life.
Eckhart Tolle
Things and conditions can give you pleasure but they cannot give you joy- joy arises from within.
Eckhart Tolle
