Music bypasses the conceptual mind. Music does not give you food for thought.
Eckhart Tolle
Your primary purpose is to be here fully, and to be total in whatever you do so that the preciousness of the present moment does not become reduced to a means to an end. And there you have your life purpose. That's the very foundation of your life.
Eckhart Tolle
The ego is not only the unobserved mind, the voice in the head which pretends to be you, but also the unobserved emotions that are the body's reaction to what the voice in the head is saying.
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
I was deeply identified with a very unhappy, egoic entity I believed was me. For years I lived in depression and continuous anxiety. One night I couldn't stand it anymore. The thought came into my mind, I cannot live with myself any longer.
Eckhart Tolle
If I find here and Now unacceptable, I have three choices: 1-Totally accept it. 2- Change it. 3-Remove myself from the situation. That is taking responsibility for my life.
Eckhart Tolle
Nothing has inflicted more suffering on humanity than its dogmas. It is true that every dogma crumbles sooner or later, because reality will eventually disclose its falseness however, unless the basic delusion of it is seen for what it is, it will be replaced by others.
Eckhart Tolle
We are in the final stages of egoic madness. Almost the whole world is fighting each other.
Eckhart Tolle
Forgive yourself for not being at peace.
Eckhart Tolle
The more shared past there is in a relationship, the more present you need to be.
Eckhart Tolle
The outer purpose belongs to the horizontal dimension of space and time the inner purpose concerns a deepening of your Being in the vertical dimension of the timeless Now.
Eckhart Tolle
The state of presence is the only state in which creative energy is available to you.
Eckhart Tolle
The energy that flows into what you do, although it may be high energy, is very peaceful energy. It is not out of alignment with life.
Eckhart Tolle
Actually, the ability to choose presence depends on the degree of presence that's emerging in you. Ultimately, you are not choosing, there's nobody there to choose. When you think you are choosing, presence is simply emerging in that moment.
Eckhart Tolle
Thinking is only a small aspect of consciousness. Thought cannot exist without consciousness, but consciousness does not need thought
Eckhart Tolle
A culture that denies death inevitably becomes shallow and superficial, concerned only with the external form of things. When death is denied, life loses its depth.
Eckhart Tolle
When you are full of problems, there is no room for anything new to enter, no room for a solution. So whenever you can, make some room, create some space, so that you find the life underneath your life situation.
Eckhart Tolle
Wisdom comes with the ability to be still. Just look and just listen. No more is needed. Being still, looking, and listening activates the non-conceptual intelligence within you. Let stillness direct your words and actions.
Eckhart Tolle
As long as we define ourselves in terms of our pain and our problems, we will never be free from them.
Eckhart Tolle
Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it.
