Quote

Through allowing, you become what you are vast, spacious. You become whole. You are not a fragment anymore, which is how the ego perceives itself. Your true nature emerges, which is one with the nature of God.

Every spiritual teaching points to the possibility of the end of suffering - Now. It is true that most teachers have had to go through the Dark Night of the Soul, although for one or two it was very, very quick.

Image
Don't get stuck on the level of words. A word is no more than a means to an end. It's an abstraction. Not unlike a signpost, it points beyond itself
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The way I feel is that there is a balance in my life between being alone and interacting with people, between Being and doing.
Eckhart Tolle

If you are not living this moment, you are not really living.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
We can learn not to keep situations or events alive in our minds, but to return our attention continuously to the pristine, timeless present moment rather than be caught up in mental movie making.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Be the silent watcher of your thoughts and behavior. You are beneath the thinker. You are the stillness beneath the mental noise. You are the love and joy beneath the pain.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
One way to become aware many times during the day is to take a conscious breath. Doing so breaks the stream of thinking.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The great arises out of small things that are honored and cared for. Everybody's life really consists of small things. Greatness is a mental abstraction and a favorite fantasy of the ego. The paradox is that the foundation for greatness is the honoring of small things of the present moment instead of pursuing the idea of greatness.

I am not my thoughts, emotions, sense perceptions, and experiences. I am not the content of my life. I am Life. I am the space in which all things happen. I am consciousness. I am the Now. I Am.
Eckhart Tolle

Ask yourself what problem you have right now. Not next year, tomorrow or five minutes from now. You can always cope with the now, but you can never cope with the future. Nor do you have to. The answer, the strength and the right action will be there when you need it. Not before or after.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Even if you achieve your outer purpose, it will never satisfy you if you haven't found your inner purpose, which is awakening, being present, being in alignment with life. True power comes out of the presence it is the presence.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
What you encounter at your destination once you get there depends on the quality of this one step. Another way of putting it: What the future holds for you depends on your state of consciousness now.
Eckhart Tolle

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
Ask yourself: Is there joy, ease and lightness in what i'm doing? If there isn't then time is covering up the present moment, and life is perceived as a burden or a struggle.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
True happiness is not related to external conditions but comes from the unconditioned.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
What could be more futile, more insane, than to create inner resistance to something that already is?
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
There is a fine balance between honoring the past and losing yourself in it. For example, you can acknowledge and learn from mistakes you made, and then move on and refocus on the now. It is called forgiving yourself.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
If you completely accept something, it changes. If you completely accept it, it shifts.

As far as inner transformation is concerned, there is nothing you can do about it. You cannot transform yourself, and you certainly cannot transform your partner or anybody else. All you can do is create a space for transformation to happen, for grace and love to enter.
