This, too, will pass.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You get there by realizing you are already there.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Life will give you whatever experience is most helpful for the evolution of your consciousness.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Let go of thought, become still and alert, and don't try to understand or explain.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
To become aware of the subtlety of nature you need to be alert. The moment you become alert you become still... thinking subsides. That is actually a higher state of consciousness than thinking.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Ego is an immature stage of development for humans, and that's what it will be recognized as when the consciousness changes on the planet. Children will develop an ego and quickly outgrow it. That's very different from developing an ego and being stuck with it for the rest of your life.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Spiritual awakening - is becoming awake to the aliveness of this moment.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When you are trapped in a nightmare, your motivation to awaken will be so much greater than that of someone caught up in a relatively pleasant dream.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The other person's presence ultimately is the same as your presence, because it is in presence that there is true meeting.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Wisdom comes with the ability to be still. Just look and just listen. No more is needed. Being still, looking, and listening activates the non-conceptual intelligence within you. Let stillness direct your words and actions.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
To be identified with your mind is to be trapped in time: the compulsion to live almost exclusively through memory and anticipation.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The significance is hiding in the insignificant. Appreciate everything.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
...the past gives you an identity and the future holds the promise of salvation, of fulfillment in whaterver form. Both are illusions.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The more you are focused on time-past and future-the more you miss the Now, the most precious thing there is.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Not all thinking and all emotion are of the ego. They turn into ego only when you identify with them and they take you over completely, that is to say, when they become I.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Important thing to realize is the world is not here to make me happy. When you don't demand that the situation, or place, or person should make you happy, then actually the situation, place, or person is quite satisfying.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
If you are content with being nobody in particular, content not to stand out, you align yourself with the power of the universe. What looks like weakness to the ego is in fact the only true strength. This spiritual truth is diametrically opposed to the values of our contemporary culture and the way it conditions people to behave.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The whole world changes when there's presence - sunlight everywhere - because you're not separate from the world.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
So do not be concerned with the fruit of your action-just give attention to the action itself. The fruit will come of its own accord.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Only if you resist what happens are you at the mercy of what happens, and the world will determine your happiness and unhappiness
