Stress is a form of suffering, but it is accepted as normal. And it is normal in our world.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
◦At the deepest level of Being, you are one with all that is
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When your fulfillment and sense of self are no longer dependent on the future outcome, joy flows into whatever you do. You do what you do because the action itself is fulfilling. Whatever you do or create in that state is of high quality. This is because it is not a means to an end, and so a loving care flows into your doing.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You cannot fight against the ego and win, just as you cannot fight against darkness. The light of consciousness is all that is necessary. You are that light.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Being an outsider to some extent, someone who does not fit in with others or is rejected by them for whatever reason, makes life difficult, but it also places you at an advantage as far as enlightenment is concerned. It takes you out of unconsciousness almost by force.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Thinking, or more precisely identification with thinking, gives rise to and maintains the ego, which, in our Western society in particular, is out of control. It believes it is real and tries hard to maintain its supremacy. Negative states of mind, such as anger, resentment, fear, envy, and jealousy, are products of the ego.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Life is your deepest inner Being. It is already whole, complete, perfect.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Even if you achieve your outer purpose, it will never satisfy you if you haven't found your inner purpose, which is awakening, being present, being in alignment with life. True power comes out of the presence it is the presence.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
I teach that we must go beyond pure ego-consciousness and move to a new manifestation of energy karma force.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Even running to catch a train or a taxi, you can enjoy the high energy of the moment.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The whole world changes when there's presence - sunlight everywhere - because you're not separate from the world.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
If you are in the habit of creating suffering for yourself, then you are probably creating suffering for others too
Eckhart Tolle
Image
If your mind carries a heavy burden of past, you will experience more of the same. The past perpetuates itself through lack of presence. The quality of your consciousness at this moment is what shapes the future.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Stressful energy arises when you think some future moment is more important than the present moment, and the doing becomes only a means to an end.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When you wash your hands, when you make a cup of coffee, when you're waiting for the elevator - instead of indulging in thinking, these are all opportunities for being there as a still, alert presence.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
If you are not taking responsibility for your state of consciousness, you are not taking responsibility for life.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
If I cannot live with myself, there must be two of me
Eckhart Tolle
Image
A great silent space holds all of nature in its embrace. It also holds you.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The vital function that pets fulfill in this world hasn't been fully recognized. They keep millions of people sane.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
So the single most vital step on your journey towards enlightenment is this: learn to disidentify from your mind.
