Let go of thought, become still and alert, and don't try to understand or explain.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Thought alone cannot recognize spiritual truths no matter how highly developed thought is. It's impossible.
Eckhart Tolle

Most humans are never fully present in the now, because unconsciously they believe that the next moment must be more important than this one. But then you miss your whole life, which is never not now.
Eckhart Tolle

You are the light of the world. You are the consciousness that illuminates the world. Know yourself as that, and that's freedom, liberation, awakening, the end of suffering and madness. And it's happening right here.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
For what you do to others, you do to yourself.

Hang on to the inner body, let it be the anchor, then you're present. If they say something challenging and you lose it again, pause, and anchor again. Practice, practice, continuous practice-becaus e when you're in touch with the inner body, spaciousness arises.

Eckhart Tolle

Even if they don't know it consciously, people can feel when you are making them into a means to an end only. And people are much less likely to do what you want them to do - for example, to buy the car - when they feel you are reducing them into a means to an end.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
If you don't have a good relationship with the now, you don't have a good relationship with life.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
I don't pray for anything, but I have used affirmations in the past a few times. They are really a bit more like realizations in that on some level they have already happened.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Life is an adventure, it's not a package tour.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Just as dogs love to chew bones, the mind loves to get its teeth into problems. That's why it does crossword puzzles and builds atom bombs.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Stress is wanting something to be the way it isn't.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The truth is: you don’t have a life, you are life.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When the movie comes to an end, you are not totally the same person you are when you started the movie.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Only the truth of who you are, if realized, will set you free.
