When you listen to the voice in your head, listen to it impartially. That is to say, do not judge. You'll soon realize: there is the voice, and here I am listening to it, watching it. This I am realization, this sense of your own presence, is not a thought. It arises from beyond the mind.

If you find here & now intolerable, you have options: remove yourself from the situation, change it, or accept it totally.

Life has no opposite. The opposite of death is birth. Life is eternal.
Eckhart Tolle

Eckhart Tolle
Image
The moment that judgement stops through acceptance of what it is, you are free of the mind. You have made room for love, for joy, for peace.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
If there are people you haven't forgiven, you're not going to really awaken. You have to let go.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Being is central, and Being is now. The fulfillment of your life is not going to happen through anything. The outer activities in your life are secondary. What is Primary is Being.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The present moment is all you ever have.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You are the love and joy beneath the pain.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When you are not making the present moment into a means to an end, you also are not making every human being you meet - in your business and even at home, in your family - into a means to an end.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You are not what happens in your life. You are the space in which it happens, which is consciousness itself.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Music bypasses the conceptual mind. Music does not give you food for thought.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
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.
