Stress is wanting something to be the way it isn't.
Eckhart Tolle
There's something in everybody that longs for that awakening to be more true to yourself.
Eckhart Tolle
When you are not making the present moment into a means to an end, you also are not making every human being you meet - in your business and even at home, in your family - into a means to an end.
Eckhart Tolle
When there is spiritual awakening, you awaken into the fullness, the aliveness, and also the sacredness of now. You were absent, asleep, and now you are present, awake.
Eckhart Tolle
The past cannot survive in your presence. It can only survive in your absence.
Eckhart Tolle
Don't quote the Buddha. Be the Buddha.
Eckhart Tolle
People don't realize that now is all there ever is there is no past or future except as memory or anticipation in your mind.
Eckhart Tolle
The fires of suffering become the light of consciousness.
Eckhart Tolle
The joy of Being, which is the only true happiness, cannot come to you through any form, possession, achievement, person, or event - through anything that happens. That joy cannot come to you - ever. It emanates from the formless dimension within you, from consciousness itself and thus is one with who you are.
Eckhart Tolle
Instead of fighting the darkness, you bring in the light.
Eckhart Tolle
You can't wait for the end of your problems for you to be present. It has to be done whereever you are - which is now
Eckhart Tolle
I enjoy going to Starbucks, having a cup of coffee, sitting in my car, driving from here to there, sitting at home looking at the trees, going for a walk with a dog. It's all very enjoyable.
Eckhart Tolle
Every morning we awaken from sleep and from our dreams and enter the state we call wakefulness. A continuous stream of thoughts, most of them repetitive, characterizes the normal wakeful state.
Eckhart Tolle
Life is an adventure, it's not a package tour.
Eckhart Tolle
Only the truth of who you are, if realized, will set you free.
Eckhart Tolle
Because of its phantom nature, and despite elaborate defense mechanisms, the ego is very vulnerable and insecure, and it sees itself as constantly under threat. This, by the way, is the case even if the ego is outwardly very confident.
Eckhart Tolle
When I'm with people, I'm a spiritual teacher. That's the function, but it's not my identity. The moment I'm alone, my deepest joy is to benobody, to relinquish the function of a teacher. It's a temporary function.
Eckhart Tolle
In the face of death, especially violent death, things don't make sense anymore. So death is the dissolution of either physical form or psychological form. And when a form dissolves, always something shines through that had been obscured by the form. This is the formless One Life, the formless One Consciousness.
Eckhart Tolle
Once bliss becomes normal it's no longer bliss, it's just peace.
Eckhart Tolle
Not to be able to stop thinking is an affliction, but we don't realise this because almost everybody is suffering from it.
Eckhart Tolle
