More quotes by Eckhart Tolle
I call animals guardians of Being, especially animals that live with humans. Because, for many humans, it's through their contact with animals they get in touch with that level of being.
Eckhart Tolle
The future never comes. Life is always now.
Eckhart Tolle
Most humans are never fully present in the now, because unconsciously they believe that the next moment must be more important than this one. But then you miss your whole life, which is never not now.
Eckhart Tolle
With awareness there comes choice. And so you are able to say: I allow this moment to be as it is. And then, suddenly, where before there was irritation, there is now a sense of aliveness and peace. And out of that comes right action.
Eckhart Tolle
Christ is your God-essence or the Self, as it is sometimes called in the East. The only difference between Christ and presence is that Christ refers to your indwelling divinity regardless of whether you are conscious of it or not, whereas presence means your awakened divinity or God-essence.
Eckhart Tolle
The foundation of greatness is honoring the small things of the present moment, instead of pursuing the idea of greatness.
Eckhart Tolle
The other person's presence ultimately is the same as your presence, because it is in presence that there is true meeting.
Eckhart Tolle
To be identified with your mind is to be trapped in time: the compulsion to live almost exclusively through memory and anticipation.
Eckhart Tolle
There is a fine balance between honoring the past and losing yourself in it.
Eckhart Tolle
To be aware of little, quiet things, you need to be quiet inside. A high degree of alertness is required. Be still. Look. Listen. Be present.
Eckhart Tolle
Stressful energy arises when you think some future moment is more important than the present moment, and the doing becomes only a means to an end.
Eckhart Tolle
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
To end the misery that has afflicted the human condition for thousands of years, you have to start with yourself and take responsibility for you inner state at any given moment. That means now
Eckhart Tolle
You are the love and joy beneath the pain.
Eckhart Tolle
If increased meta-knowledge is not counter-balanced by a corresponding growth in consciousness then the likelihood of psycho-spiritual dysfunction is great.
Eckhart Tolle
Presence remains even amidst worldly activities. Stillness is there even when you're doing something quickly, like rushing to answer the phone. Otherwise you would be condemned to moving in slow motion.
Eckhart Tolle
Challenges are something that can only be tackled in the present moment and require action.
Eckhart Tolle
For some people, it's the beginning of an awakening when they hear or read, You have a voice in your head that never stops talking. Have you noticed that? And suddenly they become aware that the thoughts go through their heads, whereas before they were so identified with them that they were those thoughts.
Eckhart Tolle
Many people see themselves as a problem that needs to be solved. They also habitually see the present moment as an obstacle that they need to overcome or get away from. With awareness, an inner sense of spaciousness arises that enables you to look at your own mind, which is to say the human mind, with a certain degree of detachment.
Eckhart Tolle
As you become present and thereby total in what you do, your actions become charged with spiritual power.
Eckhart Tolle
