True change happens within, not without. Find the Now within. Everybody you come in contact with will be touched by your presence and affected by the peace that you emanate, whether they are conscious of it or not.
Eckhart Tolle
The light is too painful for someone who wants to remain in darkness.
Eckhart Tolle
Suppression of the feminine principal has enabled The Ego to gain absolute supremacy in the collective human psyche
Eckhart Tolle
The moment you put a mental label on another human being, you can no longer truly relate to that person. . . It then becomes possible to perpetrate any act of violence.
Eckhart Tolle
For most people on the planet, consciousness can be equated with thought. They haven't experienced what it means to be conscious without thought, or they have only for very brief instants.
Eckhart Tolle
Stillness is the only thing in this world that has no form. But then, it is not really a thing, and it is not of this world.
Eckhart Tolle
To stay present in everyday life, it helps to be deeply rooted within yourself otherwise, the mind, which has incredible momentum, will drag you along like a wild river.
Eckhart Tolle
You create a good future by creating a good present. How do you do that? By recognizing the goodness that is already inherent in the present moment, even in the midst of challenges. Discontent, blaming, complaining, self-pity cannot serve as a foundation for a good future, no matter how much effort you make.
Eckhart Tolle
Thought alone cannot recognize spiritual truths no matter how highly developed thought is. It's impossible.
Eckhart Tolle
When you become aware of silence, immediately there is that state of inner still alertness. You are present. You have stepped out of thousands of years of collective human conditioning.
Eckhart Tolle
I enjoy going to Starbucks, having a cup of coffee, sitting in my car, driving from here to there, sitting at home looking at the trees, going for a walk with a dog. It's all very enjoyable.
Eckhart Tolle
What a liberation to realize that the 'voice in my head' is not who I am. 'Who am I, then?' The one who sees that.
Eckhart Tolle
Become conscious of being conscious.
Eckhart Tolle
Forget about your life situation and pay attention to your life. Your life situation exists in time. Your life is now. Your life situation is mind-stuff. Your life is real. Instead of asking 'what do I want from life?,' a more powerful question is, 'what does life want from me?'
Eckhart Tolle
But there's a shift happening in humanity, a shift in consciousness, happening now because it has to happen now.
Eckhart Tolle
I had been anxious and depressed for years and suddenly I was deeply at peace.
Eckhart Tolle
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
Thinking is no more than a tiny aspect of the totality of consciousness, the totality of who you are.
Eckhart Tolle
Peace is your priority, not saving the world. That follows that.
Eckhart Tolle
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.
