Quote

The Truth is inseparable from who you are. Yes, you are the Truth. If you look for it elsewhere, you will be deceived every time.

Image
In the unawakened state you don't use thought, but thought uses you. You are, one could almost say, possessed by thought, which is the collective conditioning of the human mind that goes back many thousands of years. You don't see anything as it is, but distorted and reduced by mental labels, concepts, judgments, opinions and reactive patterns.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
One conscious breathe in and out is a meditation.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When you are suffering, when you are unhappy, stay totally with what is Now. Unhappiness or problems cannot survive in the Now.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
A self - a me - exists in every thought and every emotion. Suffering arises through complete identification with thinking and emotions.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
If you keep your attention in the body as much as possible, you will be anchored in the Now. You won't lose yourself in the external world, and you won't lose yourself in your mind. Thoughts and emotions, fears and desires may still be there to some extent, but they won't take you over.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Even running to catch a train or a taxi, you can enjoy the high energy of the moment.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Die to the past every moment. You don't need it. Only refer to it when it is absolutely relevant to the present. Feel the power of this moment and the fullness of Being. Feel your presence.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
I know that at the core of each religion there is the truth, heavily obscured in some cases, but it's there.

Image
Practice presence -- embrace the place where life happens.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Each person's life – each lifeform, in fact – represents a world, a unique way in which the universe experiences itself.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Your true evolution is not what you do out there. That's secondary. Your true evolution is to do with the arising of awareness in you as you go about your life.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
To have your attention in the Now is not a denial of what is needed in your life. It is recognition of what is primary.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
If the thought of lack -whether it be money, recognition, or love has become part of who you think you are, you will always experience lack. Rather than acknowledge the good that is already in your life, all you see is lack.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Many people identify their sense of self with the problems they have, or think they have.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Your outer journey may contain a million steps your inner journey only has one: the step you are taking right now.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Ask yourself what problem you have right now. Not next year, tomorrow or five minutes from now. You can always cope with the now, but you can never cope with the future. Nor do you have to. The answer, the strength and the right action will be there when you need it. Not before or after.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
People believe that when they say yes to this moment, things won't change anymore. They're afraid that if they accept what is, whatever form this moment takes, they're going to be stuck forever in this moment that they don't like: this job or relationship or whatever situation they're in that they don't like. But this is not true.

When the movie comes to an end, you are not totally the same person you are when you started the movie.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
If you don't have a good relationship with the now, you don't have a good relationship with life.

Nothing ever happened in the past that can prevent you from being present now, and if the past cant prevent you from being present now, what power does it have?
