Image
If you are content with being nobody in particular, content not to stand out, you align yourself with the power of the universe. What looks like weakness to the ego is in fact the only true strength. This spiritual truth is diametrically opposed to the values of our contemporary culture and the way it conditions people to behave.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
What a liberation to realize that the 'voice in my head' is not who I am. 'Who am I, then?' The one who sees that.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
If you find here & now intolerable, you have options: remove yourself from the situation, change it, or accept it totally.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
We have forgotten what rocks and plants still know - we have forgotten how to be - to be still - to be ourselves - to be where life is here and now
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The world is in such a mess because of the continuous conflict that arises between human beings - not only between individuals but between tribes and nations and this group and that group and so on. But change can come in only when people start with themselves.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The greatest achievement of humanity is not its works of art, science, or technology, but the recognition of its own dysfunction.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Surrender comes when you no longer ask, 'Why is this happening to me?'
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You are never more essentially, more deeply, yourself than when you are still.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Important thing to realize is the world is not here to make me happy. When you don't demand that the situation, or place, or person should make you happy, then actually the situation, place, or person is quite satisfying.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Non-reaction to the ego in others is one of the most effective ways not only of going beyond ego in yourself but also of dissolving the collective human ego.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Just as dogs love to chew bones, the mind loves to get its teeth into problems. That's why it does crossword puzzles and builds atom bombs.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Even running to catch a train or a taxi, you can enjoy the high energy of the moment.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Whatever is arising in this moment, whatever condition, is part of the isness of life and therefore accepting it fully makes you an expression of the enormous power of life itself-true intelligence, which only comes when you stop obstructing the power of the present moment.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When you look at a tree and perceive its stillness, you become still yourself. You connect with it at a very deep level. You feel a oneness with whatever you perceive in and through stillness.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
A group needs enemies, because without enemies its identity cannot continue to be defined.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Thinking is compulsive: you can't stop, or so it seems. It is also addictive: you don't even want to stop, at least not until the suffering generated by the continuous mental noise becomes unbearable.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Whenever you are immersed in compulsive thinking, you are avoiding what is. You don't want to be where you are. Here, Now.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
If you are in the habit of creating suffering for yourself, then you are probably creating suffering for others too
Eckhart Tolle
Image
What is commonly called 'falling in love' is in most cases an intensification of egoic wanting and needing. You become addicted to another person, or rather to your image of that person. It has nothing to do with true love, which contains no wanting whatsoever.
