What a liberation to realize that the 'voice in my head' is not who I am. 'Who am I, then?' The one who sees that.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
If you are not in the state of either acceptance, enjoyment, or enthusiasm, look closely and you will find that you are creating suffering for yourself and others.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Enthusiasm cannot be a continuous state. It comes in waves.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Stress is extremely harmful to the body. Even mainstream medicine is recognizing how many diseases stress causes.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Give yourself completely to the act of listening. Beyond the sounds there is something greater, a sacredness that cannot be understood through thought.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When you get into your car, shut the door and be there for just half a minute. Breathe, feel the energy inside your body, look around at the sky, the trees. The mind might tell you, 'I don't have time.' But that's the mind talking to you. Even the busiest person has time for 30 seconds of space.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The formless dimension of life is this moment. This moment is timeless and formless - the eternal itself.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Everything is shown up by being exposed to the light, and whatever is exposed to the light itself becomes light.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Time isn’t precious at all, because it is an illusion. What you perceive as precious is not time but the one point that is out of time: the Now. That is precious indeed. The more you are focused on time—past and future—the more you miss the Now, the most precious thing there is.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The 'soul' is one of the words you can use to talk about your innermost being, the essence of who you are.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
In this way, a permanent energy field of a pure and high frequency will arise between you. No illusion, no pain, no conflict, nothing that is not you, and nothing that is not love can survive in it. This represents the the fulfillment of the divine transpersonal purpose of your relationship.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
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
Image
I sometimes say to people, I am a window frame - no more. The window frame is not that important. What is important is the light that comes through the window.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
It is not uncommon for people to spend their whole life waiting to start living.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
By watching the mechanics of the mind, you step out of its resistance patterns, and you can then allow the present moment to be.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
If you don't mind being unhappy, what happens to the unhappiness?
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Are you polluting the world or cleaning up the mess? You are responsible for your inner space nobody else is, just as you are responsible for the planet. As within, so without: If humans clear inner pollution, then they will also cease to create outer pollution.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Most people's lives are run by desire and fear. Desire is the need to add something to yourself in order to be yourself more fully. All fear is the fear of losing something and thereby becoming diminished and being less. These two movements obscure the fact that Being cannot be given or taken away. Being in its fullness is already within you, Now.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Whenever there is negativity in you, if you can be aware in that moment that there is something in you that takes pleasure in it or believes it has a useful purpose, you are becoming aware of the ego directly. The moment this happens your identity has shifted from ego to awareness. This means the ego is shrinking and awareness is growing.

Wisdom comes with the ability to be still. Just look and listen. No more is needed.
