The predominance of mind is no more than a stage in the evolution of consciousness. We need to go on to the next stage now as a matter of urgency otherwise, we will be destroyed by the mind, which has grown into a monster.

More quotes by 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
every complaint is a little story the mind makes up that you completely believe in.
Eckhart Tolle
We could say that the totality, life wants the sapling to become a tree, but the sapling doesn't see itself as separate from life and so wants nothing for itself. It is one with what life wants. That's why it isn't worried or stressed. And, if it has to die prematurely, it dies with ease.
Eckhart Tolle
Until presence becomes your predominant state, you may find yourself moving back and forth for a while between the old consciousness and the new, between mind identification and presence.
Eckhart Tolle
Every addiction arises from an unconscious refusal to face and move through your own pain. Every addiction starts with pain and ends with pain. Whatever the substance you are addicted to - alcohol, food, legal or illegal drugs, or a person - you are using something or somebody to cover up your pain.
Eckhart Tolle
Music creates a bridge for people to move out of thinking and into presence.
Eckhart Tolle
Neither concepts nor mathematical formulae can explain the infinite.
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
Are you polluting the world or cleaning up the mess? You are responsible for your inner space nobody else is, just as you are responsible for the planet. As within, so without: If humans clear inner pollution, then they will also cease to create outer pollution.
Eckhart Tolle
When you are fully present with everyone you meet, you relinquish the conceptual identity you made for them - your interpretation of who they are and what they did in the past - and are able to interact without the egoic movements of desire and fear. Attention, which is alert stillness, is the key.
Eckhart Tolle
The past has no power over the present moment.
Eckhart Tolle
For most people, spiritual awakening is a gradual process. Rarely does it happen all at once. When it does, though, it is usually brought about by intense suffering.
Eckhart Tolle
When the mind loses its density, you become translucent, like the flower. Spirit - the formless - shines through you into the world.
Eckhart Tolle
Knowing yourself is to be rooted in Being, instead of lost in your mind.
Eckhart Tolle
When each thought absorbs your attention completely, it means you identify with the voice in your head. Thought then becomes invested with a sense of self. This is the ego, a mind-made me. That mentally constructed self feels incomplete and precarious. That's why fearing and wanting are its predominant emotions and motivating forces.
Eckhart Tolle
I teach that we must go beyond pure ego-consciousness and move to a new manifestation of energy karma force.
Eckhart Tolle
When this delusion of utter separateness underlies and governs whatever I think, say, and do, what kind of world do I create?
Eckhart Tolle
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
The only thing you ever have is now.
Eckhart Tolle
Some people awaken spiritually without ever coming into contact with any meditation technique or any spiritual teaching. They may awaken simply because they can't stand the suffering anymore.
