Life isn't as serious as the mind makes it out to be.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You can always cope with the present moment, but you cannot cope with something that is only a mind projection - you cannot cope with the future.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
To the ego, the present moment hardly exists. Only past and future are considered important.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You are the Universe expressing itself as a human for a little while.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Most people's lives are run by desire and fear. Desire is the need to add something to yourself in order to be yourself more fully. All fear is the fear of losing something and thereby becoming diminished and being less. These two movements obscure the fact that Being cannot be given or taken away. Being in its fullness is already within you, Now.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
To experience anything fully and see it clearly there must be a moment of presence where conceptual thinking is not interfering with your experience of that moment.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The past cannot survive in your presence. It can only survive in your absence.

If you are in the habit of creating suffering for yourself, then you are probably creating suffering for others too
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You might say, 'What a dreadful day', without realizing that the cold, the wind, and the rain or whatever condition you react to are not dreadful. They are as they are. What is dreadful is your reaction, your inner resistance to it, and the emotion that is created by that resistance.
Eckhart Tolle

To stay present in everyday life, it helps to be deeply rooted within yourself otherwise, the mind, which has incredible momentum, will drag you along like a wild river.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
If I cannot live with myself, there must be two of me
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Present-moment awareness creates a gap not only in the stream of mind but also in the past-future continuum. Nothing truly new and creative can come into this world except through that gap, that clear space of infinite possibility.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When you can no longer feel the life that you are, you are likely to try to fill up your life with things.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Enthusiasm is when the universe creates through you. You are involved in a creative act. You are bringing something new into this world. When that energy comes in, you feel an intense aliveness that flows into what you do. That is enthusiasm.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
I know that at the core of each religion there is the truth, heavily obscured in some cases, but it's there.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
So the single most vital step on your journey towards enlightenment is this: learn to disidentify from your mind.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You can have religion with spirituality. You can also have religion without spirituality.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Sometimes people need to experience great loss to really be driven deeper.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The present moment is all you ever have.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
What I know for sure is that I am a temporary expression in physical form of the one consciousness that expresses itself throughout the universe. I am not separate from that.
Eckhart Tolle
