Many people identify their sense of self with the problems they have, or think they have.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Nothing that you plan is going to work out. Everything is going to be totally different than the way you expected. And things will constantly challenge you. Wherever you look the world is not as solid it seems to be.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
But there's a shift happening in humanity, a shift in consciousness, happening now because it has to happen now.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Fear seems to have many causes. Fear of loss, fear of failure, fear of being hurt, and so on, but ultimately all fear is the ego's fear of death, of annihilation. To the ego, death is always just around the corner. In this mind-identified state, fear of death affects every aspect of your life.

Eckhart Tolle

Eckhart Tolle
Image
Things and conditions can give you pleasure but they cannot give you joy- joy arises from within.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
We would destroy ourselves and the planet if no change happens, because of the amplification of the egoic state through science and technology.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Rather than being your thoughts and emotions, be the awareness behind them.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Through being right, you feel superior and through feeling superior you strengthen your sense of self. In reality, of course, you are only strengthening the illusion of ego.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
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
Image
Music bypasses the conceptual mind. Music does not give you food for thought.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
I'm grateful for always this moment, the now, no matter what form it takes.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Terrorism is an example of that extreme madness. People blow themselves up just to kill others. Unconscious reaction to terrorism is equal madness.

Once bliss becomes normal it's no longer bliss, it's just peace.
