Hope is what keeps you going, but hope keeps you focused on the future, and this continued focus perpetuates your denial of the Now and therefore your unhappiness.

More quotes by Eckhart Tolle
Humanity is reaching the end of the evolutionary stage of ego. The closer we get to the end, the more dysfunctional humanity becomes.
Eckhart Tolle
Don't judge or analyze what you observe. Watch the thought, feel the emotion, observe the reaction. Don't make a personal problem out of them. You will then feel something more powerful than any of those things that you observe: the still, observing presence itself behind the content of your mind, the silent watcher.
Eckhart Tolle
If you are content with being nobody in particular, content not to stand out, you align yourself with the power of the universe. What looks like weakness to the ego is in fact the only true strength. This spiritual truth is diametrically opposed to the values of our contemporary culture and the way it conditions people to behave.
Eckhart Tolle
Quality requires your Presence.
Eckhart Tolle
The habit patterns of the human mind are very strong and make it seem that the hard way is easy and the easy way is hard.
Eckhart Tolle
Ask yourself: Is there joy, ease and lightness in what i'm doing? If there isn't then time is covering up the present moment, and life is perceived as a burden or a struggle.
Eckhart Tolle
For some people, it's the beginning of an awakening when they hear or read, You have a voice in your head that never stops talking. Have you noticed that? And suddenly they become aware that the thoughts go through their heads, whereas before they were so identified with them that they were those thoughts.
Eckhart Tolle
Being is central, and Being is now. The fulfillment of your life is not going to happen through anything. The outer activities in your life are secondary. What is Primary is Being.
Eckhart Tolle
The most important healing - realizing who you are. The healing on the outer level is fine, but it's not the essence of healing.
Eckhart Tolle
You cannot fight against the ego and win, just as you cannot fight against darkness. The light of consciousness is all that is necessary. You are that light.
Eckhart Tolle
As long as you are unable to access the power of the Now, every emotional pain that you experience leaves behind a residue of pain that lives on in you.
Eckhart Tolle
What could be more futile, more insane, than to create inner resistance to something that already is?
Eckhart Tolle
Nothing has inflicted more suffering on humanity than its dogmas. It is true that every dogma crumbles sooner or later, because reality will eventually disclose its falseness however, unless the basic delusion of it is seen for what it is, it will be replaced by others.
Eckhart Tolle
One only needs to read twentieth-century history to see that it has been the climax of human madness, if it's measured in terms of human violence inflicted on other humans.
Eckhart Tolle
You create a good future by creating a good present. How do you do that? By recognizing the goodness that is already inherent in the present moment, even in the midst of challenges. Discontent, blaming, complaining, self-pity cannot serve as a foundation for a good future, no matter how much effort you make.
Eckhart Tolle
Knowing yourself as the awareness behind the voice is freedom.
Eckhart Tolle
The outer purpose belongs to the horizontal dimension of space and time the inner purpose concerns a deepening of your Being in the vertical dimension of the timeless Now.
Eckhart Tolle
The past has no power over the present moment.
Eckhart Tolle
To the ego, the present moment hardly exists. Only past and future are considered important.
Eckhart Tolle
Stress is extremely harmful to the body. Even mainstream medicine is recognizing how many diseases stress causes.
