Image
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
Image
You take a journey into the Unmanifested every night when you enter the phase of deep dreamless sleep. You merge with the Source. You draw from it the vital energy that sustains you for a while when you return to the manifested, the world of separate forms.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
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
Image
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.
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
Loss of meaning is often part of the suffering that comes with physical loss, but it can also happen to people who have gained everything the world has to offer - who have made it in the eyes of the world - and suddenly find that their success or possessions are empty and unfulfilling.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
In fact, the collective energy field of presence can be very helpful when people come together. It can give you an enormous boost.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Death is the moment of form dissolving. When that dissolving is not resisted, an opening appears into the dimension of the sacred, into the One formless, unmanifested Life. This is why death is such an incredible opportunity. There is no transformation of human consciousness without the dissolving that death brings.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The state of presence is the only state in which creative energy is available to you.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Nothing ever happened in the past that can prevent you from being present now, and if the past cant prevent you from being present now, what power does it have?
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Surrender comes when you no longer ask, 'Why is this happening to me?'
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Death means that a form of life dissolves or that the imminent possibility of dissolution exists, whether through our own death or through illness or old age.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Sometimes it's easier to see the madness in others---but we also have to see it in ourselves.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Strictly speaking, you don't think: Thinking happens to you.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You are not IN the universe, you ARE the universe.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You are not separate from the whole. You are one with the sun, the earth, the air. You don’t have a life. You are life.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Not all thinking and all emotion are of the ego. They turn into ego only when you identify with them and they take you over completely, that is to say, when they become I.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The reason why the romantic love relationship is such an intense and universally sought-after experience is that it seems to offer liberation from a deep-seated state of fear, need, lack, and incompleteness that is part of the human condition in its unredeemed and unenlightened state.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Enlightenment means rising above thought, not falling back to a level below thought, the level of an animal or a plant. In the enlightened state, you still use your thinking mind when needed, but in a much more focused and effective way than before.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Space is a unifying field of awareness in which you meet the other person without the separative barriers created by conceptual thinking. And now the other person is no longer 'other.' In that space, you are joined together as one awareness, one consciousness.
