Quote

The Now is as it is because it cannot be otherwise. What Buddhists have always known, physicists now confirm: there are no isolated things or events. Underneath the surface appearance, all things are interconnected, are part of the totality of the cosmos that has brought about the form that this moment takes.

There can be associations - enlightened businesses, for example - that do not work on the basis of us against them or wanting profit as the main motivating force behind what they do.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The soul is your innermost being. The presence that you are beyond form. The consciousness that you are beyond form, that is the soul. That is who you are in essence.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
To be identified with your mind is to be trapped in time: the compulsion to live almost exclusively through memory and anticipation.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Be at least as interested in what goes on inside you as what happens outside. If you get the inside right, the outside will fall into place.
Eckhart Tolle

Ultimately what you do is secondary. But how you do it is primary.
Eckhart Tolle

Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance.
Eckhart Tolle

When each thought absorbs your attention completely, it means you identify with the voice in your head. Thought then becomes invested with a sense of self. This is the ego, a mind-made me. That mentally constructed self feels incomplete and precarious. That's why fearing and wanting are its predominant emotions and motivating forces.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The ego is just waiting to identify with anything. Whether it's your misery or being a great meditator, it seeks some identification.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The more you live in the present moment, the more the fear of death disappears.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Give up defining yourself - to yourself or to others. You won't die. You will come to life.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
So far for humans it has been the case that ego develops and then humans are stuck with it for the rest of their lives.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Allow nature to teach you stillness.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When you become aware of silence, immediately there is that state of inner still alertness. You are present. You have stepped out of thousands of years of collective human conditioning.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
This, too, will pass.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
I teach that we must go beyond pure ego-consciousness and move to a new manifestation of energy karma force.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The evolutionary impulse is towards disidentification from thinking and the arising of awareness or presence, but the gravitational pull of the old consciousness, or rather unconsciousness, is still quite heavy. It's been around for thousands of years.

As the character changes in the movie, it rubs off on the viewer, so the viewer also goes through that change.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
To the ego, the present moment hardly exists. Only past and future are considered important.

Suffering needs time. It cannot survive in the now.
