More quotes by Eckhart Tolle
Most people don't know how to listen because the major part of their attention is taken up by thinking.
Eckhart Tolle
When you are in touch with that dimension within yourself-and being in touch with it is your natural state, all your actions and relationships will reflect the oneness with all life that you sense deep within. This is love. Laws, commandments, rules and regulations are necessary for those who are cut off from who they are, the Truth within.
Eckhart Tolle
If you are in the habit of creating suffering for yourself, then you are probably creating suffering for others too
Eckhart Tolle
The future is only a thought form. Work with the present moment. Be with what is.
Eckhart Tolle
When you are present, you can allow the mind to be as it is without getting entangled in it.
Eckhart Tolle
If you completely accept something, it changes. If you completely accept it, it shifts.
Eckhart Tolle
If we don't change, if the egoic consciousness continues, I don't believe that humanity as a species can survive, or at least human civilization can survive, for another hundred years.
Eckhart Tolle
I enjoy going to Starbucks, having a cup of coffee, sitting in my car, driving from here to there, sitting at home looking at the trees, going for a walk with a dog. It's all very enjoyable.
Eckhart Tolle
If you find here & now intolerable, you have options: remove yourself from the situation, change it, or accept it totally.
Eckhart Tolle
The actual experience of awakening can only be in the present moment.
Eckhart Tolle
We are in the final stages of egoic madness. Almost the whole world is fighting each other.
Eckhart Tolle
All it takes is a simple choice, a simple decision: no matter what happens, I will create no more pain for myself. I will create no more problems.
Eckhart Tolle
Hope is what keeps you going, but hope keeps you focused on the future, and this continued focus perpetuates your denial of the Now and therefore your unhappiness.
Eckhart Tolle
The past has no power over the present moment.
Eckhart Tolle
True happiness is found in simple, seemingly unremarkable things.
Eckhart Tolle
As long as you make an identity for yourself out of pain, you cannot be free of it.
Eckhart Tolle
Loss is very painful, because any kind of loss leaves a hole in the fabric of one's existence.
Eckhart Tolle
People believe that when they say yes to this moment, things won't change anymore. They're afraid that if they accept what is, whatever form this moment takes, they're going to be stuck forever in this moment that they don't like: this job or relationship or whatever situation they're in that they don't like. But this is not true.
Eckhart Tolle
To offer no resistance to life is to be in a state of grace, ease, and lightness. This state is then no longer dependent upon things being in a certain way, good or bad. It seems almost paradoxical, yet when your inner dependency on form is gone, the general conditions of your life, the outer forms, tend to improve greatly.
Eckhart Tolle
The mind left to itself creates monstrosities, and not only in art galleries. Look at our urban landscapes and industrial wastelands. No civilization has ever produced so much ugliness.
