More quotes by 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
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
If you don't have a good relationship with the now, you don't have a good relationship with life.
Eckhart Tolle
You cannot receive what you don't give. Outflow determines inflow. Whatever you think the world is withholding from you, you already have, but unless you allow it to flow out, you won't even know that you have it. This includes abundance.
Eckhart Tolle
The only thing you ever have is now.
Eckhart Tolle
When you go deeply into the present, gratitude arises spontaneously, even if it's just gratitude for breathing, gratitude for the aliveness that you feel in your body. Gratitude is there when you acknowledge the aliveness of the present moment.
Eckhart Tolle
God is not a personality outside of you. What God is, is inextricably part of what you are. God is the dimension of depth within you.
Eckhart Tolle
The equivalent of external noise is the inner noise of thinking. The equivalent of external silence is inner stillness.
Eckhart Tolle
Loss is very painful, because any kind of loss leaves a hole in the fabric of one's existence.
Eckhart Tolle
You create a good future by creating a good present.
Eckhart Tolle
If you have a strong ego [and] something good happens to an acquaintance of yours, [it] makes you feel bad. It's called envy. ... The ego thinks something has been taken away from you because somebody else has received something good. It's a complete illusion, but that's the madness of the ego.
Eckhart Tolle
Negative states of mind, such as anger, resentment, fear, envy, and jealousy, are products of the ego.
Eckhart Tolle
Thinking is compulsive: you can't stop, or so it seems. It is also addictive: you don't even want to stop, at least not until the suffering generated by the continuous mental noise becomes unbearable.
Eckhart Tolle
Love, joy, and peace cannot flourish until you have freed yourself from mind dominance.
Eckhart Tolle
Die to the past every moment. You don't need it. Only refer to it when it is absolutely relevant to the present. Feel the power of this moment and the fullness of Being. Feel your presence.
Eckhart Tolle
When you get into your car, shut the door and be there for just half a minute. Breathe, feel the energy inside your body, look around at the sky, the trees. The mind might tell you, 'I don't have time.' But that's the mind talking to you. Even the busiest person has time for 30 seconds of space.
Eckhart Tolle
Surrendering only refers to this moment, whatever is at this moment - to accept unconditionally and fully whatever arises at this moment.
Eckhart Tolle
When I'm with people, I'm a spiritual teacher. That's the function, but it's not my identity. The moment I'm alone, my deepest joy is to benobody, to relinquish the function of a teacher. It's a temporary function.
Eckhart Tolle
When you take your attention into the present moment, a certain alertness arises. You become more conscious of what's around you, but also, strangely, a sense of presence that is both within and without.
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
