More quotes by Eckhart Tolle
Some changes look negative on the surface but you will soon realize that space is being created in your life for something new to emerge.
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
The other person's presence ultimately is the same as your presence, because it is in presence that there is true meeting.
Eckhart Tolle
Although an increasing number of humans are undergoing a process of awakening, identification with thinking is still the prevalent state of consciousness. Thinking is potentially a powerful tool, but it has taken us over, and a lot of it is dysfunctional and negative.
Eckhart Tolle
Focus your attention on the Now and tell me what problem you have at this moment.
Eckhart Tolle
When you want to arrive at your goal more than you want to be doing what you are doing, you become stressed.
Eckhart Tolle
In any relationship, especially marriage, be as free of compulsive thinking as possible. In other words, the more space there is in the relationship - inner space - the more love there is because love arises out of the inner spaciousness.
Eckhart Tolle
Use whatever challenge comes into your life as a kind of fuel for the flame of consciousness. That is done through surrender to what is. Some people may need more of that than others. If you choose presence in your daily life you may not need the drastic challenges.
Eckhart Tolle
As soon as the mind and mind identification return you're no longer yourself but a mental image of yourself, and you start playing games and roles again to get your ego needs met.
Eckhart Tolle
We get lost in doing, thinking, remembering, anticipating - lost in a maze of complexity and a world of problems. Nature can show us the way home, the way out of the prison of our own minds.
Eckhart Tolle
In today's rush we all think too much, seek too much, want too much and forget about the joy of just Being.
Eckhart Tolle
Peace comes from being aligned with the present moment. Wherever you are, you feel that you are home—because you are home.
Eckhart Tolle
Once you have had a glimpse of awareness or Presence, you know it firsthand. It is no longer just a concept in your mind.
Eckhart Tolle
Practice presence -- embrace the place where life happens.
Eckhart Tolle
I know that at the core of each religion there is the truth, heavily obscured in some cases, but it's there.
Eckhart Tolle
If I cannot live with myself, there must be two of me
Eckhart Tolle
Music creates a bridge for people to move out of thinking and into presence.
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
In fact, people think you have to be stressed to be successful. They think if you are not stressed, something is wrong with you.
Eckhart Tolle
The predominance of mind is no more than a stage in the evolution of consciousness. We need to go on to the next stage now as a matter of urgency otherwise, we will be destroyed by the mind, which has grown into a monster.
