More quotes by Eckhart Tolle
If you find here & now intolerable, you have options: remove yourself from the situation, change it, or accept it totally.
Eckhart Tolle
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
To offer no resistance to life is to be in a state of grace, ease, and lightness.
Eckhart Tolle
The fires of suffering become the light of consciousness.
Eckhart Tolle
Wake up. Get out of your mind. Be present.
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
The ego is a false sense based on mental concepts. It is identification with the body and the mind-primarily identification with thought form.
Eckhart Tolle
When the movie comes to an end, you are not totally the same person you are when you started the movie.
Eckhart Tolle
Many people identify their sense of self with the problems they have, or think they have.
Eckhart Tolle
The atoms that make up your body were once forged inside stars, and the causes of even the smallest event are virtually infinite and connected with the whole in incomprehensible ways.
Eckhart Tolle
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.
Eckhart Tolle
True salvation is freedom from negativity.
Eckhart Tolle
A practice can be helpful, but didn't the Buddha compare it to a raft, suggesting it be abandoned when you reach the other shore?
Eckhart Tolle
Death means that a form of life dissolves or that the imminent possibility of dissolution exists, whether through our own death or through illness or old age.
Eckhart Tolle
Once you realize that a certain kind of food makes you sick, would you carry on eating that food and keep on asserting that it's okay to be sick?
Eckhart Tolle
As long as you are unable to access the power of the Now, every emotional pain that you experience leaves behind a residue of pain that lives on in you.
Eckhart Tolle
But there's a shift happening in humanity, a shift in consciousness, happening now because it has to happen now.
Eckhart Tolle
The word Buddha comes from the Sanskrit word Budh, meaning, to be awake. So Buddha is not a name and ultimately not a person, but a state of consciousness.
Eckhart Tolle
If you are not taking responsibility for your state of consciousness, you are not taking responsibility for life.
Eckhart Tolle
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.
