Thought alone cannot recognize spiritual truths no matter how highly developed thought is. It's impossible.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Space is a unifying field of awareness in which you meet the other person without the separative barriers created by conceptual thinking. And now the other person is no longer 'other.' In that space, you are joined together as one awareness, one consciousness.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When you want to arrive at your goal more than you want to be doing what you are doing, you become stressed.
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

If increased meta-knowledge is not counter-balanced by a corresponding growth in consciousness then the likelihood of psycho-spiritual dysfunction is great.
Eckhart Tolle

Stress is a form of suffering, but it is accepted as normal. And it is normal in our world.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The most powerful state for a human to be in is the state of embracing completely the reality of what is - Now. It is to say Yes to life, which is now and always now. There is a vast power in that Yes, that state of inner non-resistance to what is.
Eckhart Tolle

Fear seems to have many causes. Fear of loss, fear of failure, fear of being hurt, and so on, but ultimately all fear is the ego's fear of death, of annihilation. To the ego, death is always just around the corner. In this mind-identified state, fear of death affects every aspect of your life.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
We are in the final stages of egoic madness. Almost the whole world is fighting each other.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Accept the present moment and find the perfection that is deeper than any form and untouched by time.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
On the new Earth, as the awakened consciousness comes in, I would say the ego would develop in children and quickly become outgrown when they reach adulthood.
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
Some people get attached to their practice. They get good at it, but even becoming a good meditator can become a hindrance.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Surrender is surrender to this moment, not to a story through which you interpret this moment and then try to resign yourself to it.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Reality is a unified whole, but thought cuts it up into fragments.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
This, too, will pass.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
A great silent space holds all of nature in its embrace. It also holds you.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Whatever you do in your business comes out of a state of inner alignment with life and the source of life itself, so peace flows into whatever you do.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Christ is your God-essence or the Self, as it is sometimes called in the East. The only difference between Christ and presence is that Christ refers to your indwelling divinity regardless of whether you are conscious of it or not, whereas presence means your awakened divinity or God-essence.

The intensity of the pain depends on the degree of resistance to the present moment.
