Quote

When you recognize the sacredness, the beauty, the incredible stillness and dignity in which a flower or a tree exists, you add something to the flower or the tree. Through your recognition, your awareness, nature too comes to know itself. It comes to know its own beauty and sacredness through you.

When the movie comes to an end, you are not totally the same person you are when you started the movie.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Use whatever challenge comes into your life as a kind of fuel for the flame of consciousness. That is done through surrender to what is. Some people may need more of that than others. If you choose presence in your daily life you may not need the drastic challenges.
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
The reason why some people love to engage in dangerous activities, such as mountain climbing, car racing, and so on, although they may not be aware of it, is that it forces them into the Now - that intensely alive state that is free of time, free of problems, free of thinking, free of the burden of the personality.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The reason why the romantic love relationship is such an intense and universally sought-after experience is that it seems to offer liberation from a deep-seated state of fear, need, lack, and incompleteness that is part of the human condition in its unredeemed and unenlightened state.

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

As long as we define ourselves in terms of our pain and our problems, we will never be free from them.
Eckhart Tolle

I'm grateful for always this moment, the now, no matter what form it takes.
Eckhart Tolle

Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When you listen to the voice in your head, listen to it impartially. That is to say, do not judge. You'll soon realize: there is the voice, and here I am listening to it, watching it. This I am realization, this sense of your own presence, is not a thought. It arises from beyond the mind.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You are not IN the universe, you ARE the universe.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Instead of being lost in your thinking, when you awaken you recognize yourself as the awareness behind it. Thinking then ceases to be a self-serving autonomous activity that takes possession of you and runs your life.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
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.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Where ever you are, be there totally.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The purpose of the world is for youto be lost in it, ultimately. The purpose of the world is for you to suffer, to create the suffering that seems to be what is needed for the awakening to happen.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Wisdom comes with the ability to be still. Just look and listen. No more is needed.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
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
Image
Sometimes people need to experience great loss to really be driven deeper.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Of course, most of the people in this world are stressed, and most of those who are not stressed are totally bored!
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The essence of every form is the deathless. Even the essence of a blade of grass is the deathless. And that's why the world of form is sacred.
Eckhart Tolle
