More quotes by Eckhart Tolle
True happiness is not related to external conditions but comes from the unconditioned.
Eckhart Tolle
When you are in the present moment, you break the continuity of your story, of past and future. Then true intelligence arises, and also love.
Eckhart Tolle
Awareness of the inner body is consciousness remembering its origin and returning to the Source.
Eckhart Tolle
Many people live habitually as if the present moment were an obstacle that they need to overcome in order to get to the next moment, and imagine living your whole live like that. Always, this moment is not quite good enough because you need to get to the next one.
Eckhart Tolle
The primary purpose of life is in being in the NOW.
Eckhart Tolle
Welcome to the present moment. Here. Now. The only moment there ever is.
Eckhart Tolle
If the thought of lack -whether it be money, recognition, or love has become part of who you think you are, you will always experience lack. Rather than acknowledge the good that is already in your life, all you see is lack.
Eckhart Tolle
The greater part of human pain is unnecessary. It is self-created as long as the unobserved mind runs your life.
Eckhart Tolle
The whole essence of Zen consists in walking along the razor's edge of Now - to be so utterly, so completely present that no problem, no suffering, nothing that is not who you are in your essence, can survive in you. In the Now, in the absence of time, all your problems dissolve. Suffering needs time it cannot survive in the Now.
Eckhart Tolle
Stillness is your essential nature. What is stillness? The inner space or awareness in which the words on this page are bieng perceived and become thoughts. Without that awareness, there would be no perception, no thoughts, no world. You are that awareness, disguised as a person.
Eckhart Tolle
Thinking is no more than a tiny aspect of the totality of consciousness, the totality of who you are.
Eckhart Tolle
Nothing ever happened in the past that can prevent you from being present now, and if the past cant prevent you from being present now, what power does it have?
Eckhart Tolle
I don't believe in an outside agent that creates the world, then walks away. But I feel very strongly there is an intelligence at work in every flower, in every blade of grass, in every cell of my body. And it is that intelligence that, I wouldn't say created the universe. It is creating the universe. It's an ongoing process.
Eckhart Tolle
I sometimes say to people, I am a window frame - no more. The window frame is not that important. What is important is the light that comes through the window.
Eckhart Tolle
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
The more you are focused on time-past and future-the more you miss the Now, the most precious thing there is.
Eckhart Tolle
Some people thought I was crazy to have let go of all the worldly things I had achieved. They didn't understand that I didn't want or need any of that anymore.
Eckhart Tolle
Your primary purpose is to be here fully, and to be total in whatever you do so that the preciousness of the present moment does not become reduced to a means to an end. And there you have your life purpose. That's the very foundation of your life.
Eckhart Tolle
We can't escape from the world anymore we can't escape from the mind. We need to enter surrender while we are in the world. That seems to be the path that is effective in the world that we live in now.
Eckhart Tolle
Whatever you think people are withholding from you-praise, appreciation, assistance, loving care, and so on-give it to them.
Eckhart Tolle
