Every spiritual teaching points to the possibility of the end of suffering - Now. It is true that most teachers have had to go through the Dark Night of the Soul, although for one or two it was very, very quick.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
A belief may be comforting. Only through your own experience, however, does it become liberating.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
We have forgotten what rocks and plants still know - we have forgotten how to be - to be still - to be ourselves - to be where life is here and now
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Whenever there is negativity in you, if you can be aware in that moment that there is something in you that takes pleasure in it or believes it has a useful purpose, you are becoming aware of the ego directly. The moment this happens your identity has shifted from ego to awareness. This means the ego is shrinking and awareness is growing.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Religion and ritual can be vehicles for entering stillness. It says in Psalm 46:10, 'Be still, and know that I am God.' But they are still just vehicles. The Buddha called his teaching a raft: You don't need to carry it around with you after you've crossed the river.

Welcome to the present moment. Here. Now. The only moment there ever is.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
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
The Truth is inseparable from who you are. Yes, you are the Truth. If you look for it elsewhere, you will be deceived every time.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
With stillness comes the benediction of Peace.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Thinking, or more precisely identification with thinking, gives rise to and maintains the ego, which, in our Western society in particular, is out of control. It believes it is real and tries hard to maintain its supremacy. Negative states of mind, such as anger, resentment, fear, envy, and jealousy, are products of the ego.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The mind is essentially a survival machine. Attack and defense against other minds, gathering, storing, and analyzing information - this is what it is good at, but it is not at all creative. All true artists, whether they know it or not, create from a place of no-mind, from inner stillness.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Music is a wonderful way of getting in touch with the stillness within.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Ask yourself: Is there joy, ease and lightness in what i'm doing? If there isn't then time is covering up the present moment, and life is perceived as a burden or a struggle.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Where ever you are, be there totally.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Stress is caused by being 'here' but wanting to be 'there'.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
This, too, will pass.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
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
Image
If you are in the habit of creating suffering for yourself, then you are probably creating suffering for others too
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Surrender comes when you no longer ask, 'Why is this happening to me?'
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Joy does not come from what you do, it flows into what you do and thus into this world from deep within you.
Eckhart Tolle
