Enthusiasm cannot be a continuous state. It comes in waves.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
One way of pointing to this realization is, when you think you have big problems, ask yourself, What problem do I have at this moment? Usually, you will find that you don't have a problem at this moment because you're sitting here and you're breathing, you're looking out the window, and it's fine.
Eckhart Tolle

It is important to realize that a large percentage of what we hear or see on the news focuses on those places where there is violent conflict...It gives us a slightly or very distorted view of what is going on because there are many other parts of the planet where there is no violent conflict, but that is not on the news.
Eckhart Tolle

When you are present, when your attention is fully and intensely in the Now, Being can be felt, but it can never be understood mentally.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
As long as you make an identity for yourself out of pain, you cannot be free of it.
Eckhart Tolle

The more you are focused on time-past and future-the more you miss the Now, the most precious thing there is.

I know that at the core of each religion there is the truth, heavily obscured in some cases, but it's there.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Many people see themselves as a problem that needs to be solved. They also habitually see the present moment as an obstacle that they need to overcome or get away from. With awareness, an inner sense of spaciousness arises that enables you to look at your own mind, which is to say the human mind, with a certain degree of detachment.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The power of now can only be realized now. It requires no time and effort. Effort means you're trying hard to get somewhere, and so you are not present, welcoming this moment as it is.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Your primary purpose is to be here fully, and to be total in whatever you do so that the preciousness of the present moment does not become reduced to a means to an end. And there you have your life purpose. That's the very foundation of your life.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When you are present, you can allow the mind to be as it is without getting entangled in it.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You can have religion with spirituality. You can also have religion without spirituality.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The moment you put a mental label on another human being, you can no longer truly relate to that person. . . It then becomes possible to perpetrate any act of violence.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When you listen to a thought, you are aware not only of the thought but also of yourself as the witness of the thought. A new dimension of consciousness has come in.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
And so I came to understand why some masters sometimes say, You are already enlightened.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Things and conditions can give you pleasure but they cannot give you joy- joy arises from within.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You will enjoy any activity in which you are fully present.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The great arises out of small things that are honored and cared for.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You are the sky. The clouds are what happens, what comes and goes.

Whatever you think the world is withholding from you, you are withholding from the world.
