Whenever you deeply accept this moment as it is - no matter what form it takes - you are still, you are at peace.
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

I'm grateful for always this moment, the now, no matter what form it takes.
Eckhart Tolle

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
Enthusiasm is when the universe creates through you. You are involved in a creative act. You are bringing something new into this world. When that energy comes in, you feel an intense aliveness that flows into what you do. That is enthusiasm.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You are this universe experiencing itself, very briefly, as a human.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Any action that arises out of stress is of low quality, and it contributes to human suffering. You are making yourself and others suffer.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The state of presence is the only state in which creative energy is available to you.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
In fact, the collective energy field of presence can be very helpful when people come together. It can give you an enormous boost.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Suffering is necessary until you realize it is unnecessary.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The ego says, I shouldn't have to suffer, and that thought makes you suffer so much more.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The ego is just waiting to identify with anything. Whether it's your misery or being a great meditator, it seeks some identification.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
A great silent space holds all of nature in its embrace. It also holds you.
Eckhart Tolle
