More quotes by Eckhart Tolle
And whenever you feel that essence in another, you also feel it in yourself.
Eckhart Tolle
Give yourself completely to the act of listening. Beyond the sounds there is something greater, a sacredness that cannot be understood through thought.
Eckhart Tolle
Be aware that what you think, to a large extent, creates the emotions that you feel. See the link between your thinking and your emotions. Rather than being your thoughts and emotions, be the awareness behind them.
Eckhart Tolle
I sometimes get a distorted view of how quickly humans are evolving, because I meet many people who are evolving beyond ego. Then I have to switch on the TV to realize, Oh, no, it is not happening to everybody yet. But it is happening.
Eckhart Tolle
Wisdom comes with the ability to be still. Just look and listen. No more is needed.
Eckhart Tolle
When your sense of self is no longer tied to thought, is no longer conceptual, there is a depth of feeling, of sensing, of compassion, of loving, that was not there when you were trapped in mental concepts. You are that depth.
Eckhart Tolle
True happiness is found in simple, seemingly unremarkable things.
Eckhart Tolle
Every morning we awaken from sleep and from our dreams and enter the state we call wakefulness. A continuous stream of thoughts, most of them repetitive, characterizes the normal wakeful state.
Eckhart Tolle
Terrorism is an example of that extreme madness. People blow themselves up just to kill others. Unconscious reaction to terrorism is equal madness.
Eckhart Tolle
If your mind carries a heavy burden of past, you will experience more of the same. The past perpetuates itself through lack of presence. The quality of your consciousness at this moment is what shapes the future.
Eckhart Tolle
Can you look without the voice in your head commenting, drawing conclusions, comparing, or trying to figure something out?
Eckhart Tolle
So the single most vital step on your journey towards enlightenment is this: learn to disidentify from your mind.
Eckhart Tolle
When the pain that the little me creates for itself becomes intense enough, the ego will self-destruct. It has a self-destruct mechanism built in, fortunately, so eventually every ego dies.
Eckhart Tolle
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
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
The power for creating a better future is contained in the present moment: You create a good future by creating a good present.
Eckhart Tolle
Attention is the key to transformation- and full attention also implies acceptance.
Eckhart Tolle
The more you live in the present moment, the more the fear of death disappears.
Eckhart Tolle
The ego says, I shouldn't have to suffer, and that thought makes you suffer so much more.
Eckhart Tolle
Being an outsider to some extent, someone who does not fit in with others or is rejected by them for whatever reason, makes life difficult, but it also places you at an advantage as far as enlightenment is concerned. It takes you out of unconsciousness almost by force.
Eckhart Tolle
