Neither failure nor success has the power to change your inner state of Being.
Eckhart Tolle

Surrender is surrender to this moment, not to a story through which you interpret this moment and then try to resign yourself to it.
Eckhart Tolle

I was deeply identified with a very unhappy, egoic entity I believed was me. For years I lived in depression and continuous anxiety. One night I couldn't stand it anymore. The thought came into my mind, I cannot live with myself any longer.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The problems that we are facing are multiplying on the planet - economic, environmental, social, political upheaval, the list goes on. It's a time of change and transition and, as I see it, we are entering a new state of consciousness. It's a transition between one state of consciousness and another. It's an evolutionary leap that is happening.

The greater part of human pain is unnecessary. It is self-created as long as the unobserved mind runs your life.

As soon as the mind and mind identification return you're no longer yourself but a mental image of yourself, and you start playing games and roles again to get your ego needs met.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When you accept everything for what it is without labels you are outside of your ego.
Eckhart Tolle

Can you feel that there is something in you that is at war, something that feels threatened and wants to survive at all cost, that needs the drama in order to assert its identity as the victorious character within that theatrical production? Can you feel there is something in you that would rather be right than at peace?
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The purpose of the world is for youto be lost in it, ultimately. The purpose of the world is for you to suffer, to create the suffering that seems to be what is needed for the awakening to happen.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When one child says to another, I can do this, I bet you can't My dad has a bigger car than yours or, My dad is stronger than yours. Children identify with this or that, trying to build up a sense of self - a mentally defined sense of self.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Many people identify their sense of self with the problems they have, or think they have.

Everything flows with much greater ease when people live as one with the present moment.

Science and technology have amplified the effects of the dysfunction of the human mind in its unawakened state to such a degree that humanity, and probably the planet, would not survive for another hundred years if human consciousness remains unchanged.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When there's somebody there who is transparent enough so that the stillness comes through unhindered, there's a reciprocal movement in you because the presence of stillness suddenly recognizes itself.

Terrorism is an example of that extreme madness. People blow themselves up just to kill others. Unconscious reaction to terrorism is equal madness.
