More quotes by Eckhart Tolle
Attention is the key to transformation- and full attention also implies acceptance.
Eckhart Tolle
Don't quote the Buddha. Be the Buddha.
Eckhart Tolle
Reality is a unified whole, but thought cuts it up into fragments.
Eckhart Tolle
Stress is a form of suffering, but it is accepted as normal. And it is normal in our world.
Eckhart Tolle
So do not be concerned with the fruit of your action-just give attention to the action itself. The fruit will come of its own accord.
Eckhart Tolle
Most people don't know how to listen because the major part of their attention is taken up by thinking.
Eckhart Tolle
What you encounter at your destination once you get there depends on the quality of this one step. Another way of putting it: What the future holds for you depends on your state of consciousness now.
Eckhart Tolle
Awareness of the inner body is consciousness remembering its origin and returning to the Source.
Eckhart Tolle
In fact, the collective energy field of presence can be very helpful when people come together. It can give you an enormous boost.
Eckhart Tolle
To become aware of the subtlety of nature you need to be alert. The moment you become alert you become still... thinking subsides. That is actually a higher state of consciousness than thinking.
Eckhart Tolle
Any action that arises out of stress is of low quality, and it contributes to human suffering. You are making yourself and others suffer.
Eckhart Tolle
The only thing you ever have is now.
Eckhart Tolle
There is a wonderful ancient Sufi saying which I'm going to paraphrase slightly. It says, 'When the heart weeps for what it has lost,' in this case 'heart' means 'ego,' 'when the heart weeps for what it has lost, the spirit rejoices for what it has found.'
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
If you cannot accept an external event immediately, then some kind of resistance will come up. And there may be some external events you cannot accept at all.
Eckhart Tolle
Death is not the opposite of life. Life has no opposite. Death is the opposite of birth.
Eckhart Tolle
The way I feel is that there is a balance in my life between being alone and interacting with people, between Being and doing.
Eckhart Tolle
I don't believe in an outside agent that creates the world, then walks away. But I feel very strongly there is an intelligence at work in every flower, in every blade of grass, in every cell of my body. And it is that intelligence that, I wouldn't say created the universe. It is creating the universe. It's an ongoing process.
Eckhart Tolle
The future is usually imagined as either better or worse than the present. If the imagined future is better, it gives you hope or pleasurable anticipation. If it is worse, it creates anxiety. Both are illusory.
Eckhart Tolle
Strictly speaking, you cannot become enlightened, because who you take yourself to be is like a ripple in the ocean of consciousness - or a little wave if you're a VIP - and the ripple doesn't become enlightened until it realizes that its ripple-identity is ultimately a misperception, that it is the ocean taking on a fleeting ripple-form.
