More quotes by Eckhart Tolle
Instead of fighting the darkness, you bring in the light.
Eckhart Tolle
The ego is not only the unobserved mind, the voice in the head which pretends to be you, but also the unobserved emotions that are the body's reaction to what the voice in the head is saying.
Eckhart Tolle
Evil is an extreme manifestation of human unconsciousness.
Eckhart Tolle
You are not just a meaningless fragment in an alien universe, briefly suspended between life and death, allowed a few short-lived pleasures followed by pain and ultimate annihilation.
Eckhart Tolle
You are this universe experiencing itself, very briefly, as a human.
Eckhart Tolle
... inherited collective mind-patterns ... have kept humans in bondage to suffering for eons.
Eckhart Tolle
The present moment holds the key to liberation. But you cannot find the present moment as long as you are your mind.
Eckhart Tolle
As you go about your life, don't give 100 percent of your attention to the external world and your mind. Keep some within.
Eckhart Tolle
Once you have had a glimpse of awareness or Presence, you know it firsthand. It is no longer just a concept in your mind.
Eckhart Tolle
Every challenge takes you a little deeper and awakens you again and again. Without the challenges, you probably would go to back to sleep. The challenges keep you awake.
Eckhart Tolle
Every addiction arises from an unconscious refusal to face and move through your own pain. Every addiction starts with pain and ends with pain. Whatever the substance you are addicted to - alcohol, food, legal or illegal drugs, or a person - you are using something or somebody to cover up your pain.
Eckhart Tolle
It's interesting that stepping out of thought was actually triggered by a thought.
Eckhart Tolle
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
As long as you are unable to access the power of the Now, every emotional pain that you experience leaves behind a residue of pain that lives on in you.
Eckhart Tolle
The great arises out of small things that are honored and cared for.
Eckhart Tolle
On the new Earth, as the awakened consciousness comes in, I would say the ego would develop in children and quickly become outgrown when they reach adulthood.
Eckhart Tolle
To listen to the silence, wherever you are, is an easy and direct way of becoming present. Even if there is noise, there is always some silence underneath and in between the sounds. Listening to the silence immediately creates stillness inside you.
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
But there's a shift happening in humanity, a shift in consciousness, happening now because it has to happen now.
Eckhart Tolle
Direct your attention inward. Have a look inside yourself. What kind of thoughts is your mind producing? What do you feel? Direct your attention into the body. Is there any tension? Once you detect that there is a low level of unease, the background static, see in what way you are avoiding, resisting, or denying life-by denying the Now.
