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
Image
Joy does not come from what you do, it flows into what you do and thus into this world from deep within you.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
It may look as if the situation is creating the suffering, but ultimately this is not so - your resistance is.
Eckhart Tolle

The flower of # consciousness needs the mud out of which it grows.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You are the knowing, not the condition that is known.
Eckhart Tolle

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
Underneath the world of sense perceptions and the world of mind activity, there is the vastness of being. There's a vast spaciousness. There's a vast stillness and there's a little ripple activity on the surface, which isn't separate, just like the ripples are not separate from the ocean.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
If you cannot accept an external event immediately, then some kind of resistance will come up. And there may be some external events you cannot accept at all.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
By watching the mechanics of the mind, you step out of its resistance patterns, and you can then allow the present moment to be.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Neither concepts nor mathematical formulae can explain the infinite.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Observe your thoughts, don't believe them.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
What I know for sure is that I am a temporary expression in physical form of the one consciousness that expresses itself throughout the universe. I am not separate from that.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Those who have not found their true wealth, which is the radiant joy of Being and the deep, unshakable peace that comes with it, are beggars, even if they have great material wealth.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
There can be associations - enlightened businesses, for example - that do not work on the basis of us against them or wanting profit as the main motivating force behind what they do.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Consciousness is a vast ocean and thinking is the waves & ripples on the surface of the ocean.
