More quotes by Eckhart Tolle
Most humans are never fully present in the now, because unconsciously they believe that the next moment must be more important than this one. But then you miss your whole life, which is never not now.
Eckhart Tolle
Ask yourself: Is there joy, ease and lightness in what i'm doing? If there isn't then time is covering up the present moment, and life is perceived as a burden or a struggle.
Eckhart Tolle
Instead of asking, “what do I want from life?,” a more powerful question is, “what does life want from me?
Eckhart Tolle
So the single most vital step on your journey towards enlightenment is this: learn to disidentify from your mind.
Eckhart Tolle
Stress is a form of suffering, but it is accepted as normal. And it is normal in our world.
Eckhart Tolle
When great loss happens - deaths close to you or your own approaching death - this is an opportunity for stepping completely out of identification with form and realizing the essence of who you are, or that the essence of anyone who is suffering or dying is beyond death.
Eckhart Tolle
When you are aligned with the now internally, when you take responsibility for this moment, then life is helpful and tends to bring you what you need.
Eckhart Tolle
It's interesting that stepping out of thought was actually triggered by a thought.
Eckhart Tolle
Awareness of the inner body is consciousness remembering its origin and returning to the Source.
Eckhart Tolle
You are not separate from the whole. You are one with the sun, the earth, the air. You don’t have a life. You are life.
Eckhart Tolle
This is the essence for every human being to realize that who they are, essentially, is far more than the physical body and is far more than the mental body, the psychological makeup, the psychological me body. Who they are is far deeper than that.
Eckhart Tolle
Since ancient times, spiritual masters of all traditions have pointed to the Now as the key to the spiritual dimension. Despite this, it seems to have remained a secret.
Eckhart Tolle
The unchecked striving for more, for endless growth, is a dysfunction and a disease. It is the same dysfunction the cancerous cell manifests, whose only goal is to multiply itself, unaware that it is bringing about its own destruction by destroying the organism of which it is a part.
Eckhart Tolle
The realm of consciousness is much vaster than thought can grasp. When you no longer believe everything you think, you step out of thought and see clearly that the thinker is not who you are.
Eckhart Tolle
You are the Universe expressing itself as a human for a little while.
Eckhart Tolle
Surrender comes when you no longer ask, 'Why is this happening to me?'
Eckhart Tolle
Some people awaken spiritually without ever coming into contact with any meditation technique or any spiritual teaching. They may awaken simply because they can't stand the suffering anymore.
Eckhart Tolle
If you are trying to get from here to there, and you already are late, you know that you are late, and yet you are aligned with the present moment while you are stuck in a traffic jam. You are totally accepting of the moment.
Eckhart Tolle
Peace can be threatening because peace is the absence of problems and conflict. There is something, perhaps in the personal you, that does not want freedom or peace, or the absence of problems. There's something that wants the opposite.
Eckhart Tolle
When one child says to another, I can do this, I bet you can't My dad has a bigger car than yours or, My dad is stronger than yours. Children identify with this or that, trying to build up a sense of self - a mentally defined sense of self.
