More quotes by Eckhart Tolle
In the world of form, everything changes and evolves. So, there was a certain evolution of the teaching. Different pointers came in, different stories, different approaches to the truth, which always is the same.
Eckhart Tolle
Instead of being lost in your thinking, when you awaken you recognize yourself as the awareness behind it. Thinking then ceases to be a self-serving autonomous activity that takes possession of you and runs your life.
Eckhart Tolle
The state of presence is the only state in which creative energy is available to you.
Eckhart Tolle
As the character changes in the movie, it rubs off on the viewer, so the viewer also goes through that change.
Eckhart Tolle
To know yourself as the Being underneath the thinker, the stillness underneath the mental noise, the love and joy underneath the pain, is freedom, salvation, enlightenment.
Eckhart Tolle
I have spoken to many people who have begun to live in presence, and they find many changes come into their lives. Sometimes these changes happen as inner realizations - This is what I have to do - or they arise from the external when something suddenly happens.
Eckhart Tolle
You are awareness, disguised as a person.
Eckhart Tolle
Words reduce reality to something the human mind can grasp, which isn’t very much.
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
Wisdom comes with the ability to be still. Just look and listen. No more is needed.
Eckhart Tolle
When you listen to the voice in your head, listen to it impartially. That is to say, do not judge. You'll soon realize: there is the voice, and here I am listening to it, watching it. This I am realization, this sense of your own presence, is not a thought. It arises from beyond the mind.
Eckhart Tolle
For many people, illness - loss of health - represents the crisis situation that triggers an awakening. With serious illness comes awareness of your own mortality, the greatest loss of all.
Eckhart Tolle
Awareness and ego cannot coexist.
Eckhart Tolle
Enlightened groups can exist, as long as the individuals' sense of identity is not derived from a mentally defined image of us.
Eckhart Tolle
The past cannot survive in your presence. It can only survive in your absence.
Eckhart Tolle
When the movie comes to an end, you are not totally the same person you are when you started the movie.
Eckhart Tolle
Life wants to support you. But first you need to be open to life.
Eckhart Tolle
Now if a teacher gives you a practice, he or she would perhaps point out when you don't need it anymore or you realize yourself when you don't need it anymore.
Eckhart Tolle
A culture that denies death inevitably becomes shallow and superficial, concerned only with the external form of things. When death is denied, life loses its depth.
Eckhart Tolle
Stress is caused by being here but wanting to be there, or being in the present but wanting to be in the future. It's a split that tears you apart inside.
Eckhart Tolle
