Be the silent watcher of your thoughts and behavior. You are beneath the thinker. You are the stillness beneath the mental noise. You are the love and joy beneath the pain.

When this delusion of utter separateness underlies and governs whatever I think, say, and do, what kind of world do I create?
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You are not what happens in your life. You are the space in which it happens, which is consciousness 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
So love is the recognition of oneness in a world of duality. This is the birth of God into the world of form. Love makes the world less worldly, less dense, more transparent to the divine dimension, the light of consciousness itself.
Eckhart Tolle

If you don't mind being unhappy, what happens to the unhappiness?

Seek out a tree and let it teach you stillness.

Thinking is compulsive: you can't stop, or so it seems. It is also addictive: you don't even want to stop, at least not until the suffering generated by the continuous mental noise becomes unbearable.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
It is when we are trapped in incessant streams of compulsive thinking that the universe really disintegrates for us, and we lose the ability to sense the interconnectedness of all that exists.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The Now is as it is because it cannot be otherwise. What Buddhists have always known, physicists now confirm: there are no isolated things or events. Underneath the surface appearance, all things are interconnected, are part of the totality of the cosmos that has brought about the form that this moment takes.
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
Image
Life is now. There was never a time when your life was not now, nor will there ever be.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Emotion in itself is not unhappiness. Only emotion plus an unhappy story is unhappiness
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The ego wants to want more than it wants to have. And so the shallow satisfaction of having is always replaced by more wanting.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Whenever you are immersed in compulsive thinking, you are avoiding what is. You don't want to be where you are. Here, Now.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The moment that judgement stops through acceptance of what it is, you are free of the mind. You have made room for love, for joy, for peace.

Quality requires your Presence.

Image
The thing that gives you power also traps you.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Every morning we awaken from sleep and from our dreams and enter the state we call wakefulness. A continuous stream of thoughts, most of them repetitive, characterizes the normal wakeful state.

When the movie comes to an end, you are not totally the same person you are when you started the movie.

The future never comes. Life is always now.
