Quote

With stillness comes the benediction of peace”. “Thinking isolates a situation or event and calls it good or bad, as if it had a separate existence. Through excessive reliance on thinking, reality becomes fragmented. This fragmentation is an illusion, but seems very real while you are trapped in it.

When there's somebody there who is transparent enough so that the stillness comes through unhindered, there's a reciprocal movement in you because the presence of stillness suddenly recognizes itself.

The more you live in the present moment, the more the fear of death disappears.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Reality is a unified whole, but thought cuts it up into fragments.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Significant things often happen when you are present. Things come to you, and then you respond to what is required. The response very often comes without a premeditated idea of what you want. It is simply a response to the situation.

... inherited collective mind-patterns ... have kept humans in bondage to suffering for eons.

As soon as you honor the present moment, all unhappiness and struggle dissolve.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When you can no longer feel the life that you are, you are likely to try to fill up your life with things.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Death is the moment of form dissolving. When that dissolving is not resisted, an opening appears into the dimension of the sacred, into the One formless, unmanifested Life. This is why death is such an incredible opportunity. There is no transformation of human consciousness without the dissolving that death brings.

We are in the final stages of egoic madness. Almost the whole world is fighting each other.

How many situations can be resolved with less thinking?

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
Negative states of mind, such as anger, resentment, fear, envy, and jealousy, are products of the ego.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
To be identified with your mind is to be trapped in time: the compulsion to live almost exclusively through memory and anticipation.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
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
Image
Be aware of your breathing. Notice how this takes attention away from your thinking and creates space.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When you take your attention into the present moment, a certain alertness arises. You become more conscious of what's around you, but also, strangely, a sense of presence that is both within and without.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
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
I am not my thoughts, emotions, sense perceptions, and experiences. I am not the content of my life. I am Life. I am the space in which all things happen. I am consciousness. I am the Now. I Am.

Authentic human interactions become impossible when you lose yourself in a role.

When you accept everything for what it is without labels you are outside of your ego.
