More quotes by Eckhart Tolle
Life has no opposite. The opposite of death is birth. Life is eternal.
Eckhart Tolle
When you are in the present moment, you break the continuity of your story, of past and future. Then true intelligence arises, and also love.
Eckhart Tolle
Die before you die and find that there is no death.
Eckhart Tolle
Negative states of mind, such as anger, resentment, fear, envy, and jealousy, are products of the ego.
Eckhart Tolle
The intensity of the pain depends on the degree of resistance to the present moment.
Eckhart Tolle
Bring awareness to the many subtle sounds of nature - The rustling of leaves in the wind, Raindrops falling, The humming of an insect, The first birdsong at dawn.
Eckhart Tolle
One way of pointing to this realization is, when you think you have big problems, ask yourself, What problem do I have at this moment? Usually, you will find that you don't have a problem at this moment because you're sitting here and you're breathing, you're looking out the window, and it's fine.
Eckhart Tolle
I feel that I need to return to the pure stillness periodically. And then, when the teaching happens, just allow it to arise out of the stillness. So the teaching and stillness are very closely connected. The teaching arises out of the stillness. But when I'm alone, there's only the stillness, and that is my favorite place.
Eckhart Tolle
Then, if action is possible or necessary, you take action or rather right action happens through you. Right action is action that is appropriate to the whole. When the action is accomplished, the alert, spacious stillness remains.
Eckhart Tolle
Fulfill me, make me happy, make me feel safe, tell me who I am. The world cannot give you those things, and when you no longer have such expectations, all self created suffering comes to an end.
Eckhart Tolle
Love is a state of Being. Your love is not outside it is deep within you. You can never lose it, and it cannot leave you. It is not dependent on some other body, some external form.
Eckhart Tolle
Forget about your life situation and pay attention to your life. Your life situation exists in time. Your life is now. Your life situation is mind-stuff. Your life is real. Instead of asking 'what do I want from life?,' a more powerful question is, 'what does life want from me?'
Eckhart Tolle
Through forgiveness, which essentially means recognizing the insubstantiality of the past and allowing the present moment to be as it is, the miracle of transformation happens not only within but also without.
Eckhart Tolle
Acceptance means: For now, this is what this situation, this moment, requires me to do, and so I do it willingly.
Eckhart Tolle
As soon as you honor the present moment, all unhappiness and struggle dissolve.
Eckhart Tolle
When you can no longer feel the life that you are, you are likely to try to fill up your life with things.
Eckhart Tolle
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
And so I came to understand why some masters sometimes say, You are already enlightened.
Eckhart Tolle
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
You are not what happens in your life. You are the space in which it happens, which is consciousness itself.
Eckhart Tolle
