You are not a problem that needs solving.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
If you are not in the state of either acceptance, enjoyment, or enthusiasm, look closely and you will find that you are creating suffering for yourself and others.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The most rigid structures, the most impervious to change, will collapse first.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Pain can only feed on pain. Pain cannot feed on joy. It finds it quite indigestible.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Stress is caused by being here but wanting to be there, or being in the present but wanting to be in the future. It's a split that tears you apart inside.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
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
Image
Creativity arises out of the state of thoughtless presence in which you are much more awake than when you are engrossed in thinking.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
True happiness is not related to external conditions but comes from the unconditioned.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The animals are at a level prior to thinking. They haven't lost themselves in thought. We rise above thinking and then we meet them again, where we're both in no-thought. There's a deep connection.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Life always is now. Life is inseparable from now.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
To be identified with your mind is to be trapped in time: the compulsion to live almost exclusively through memory and anticipation.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
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
Image
Thinking is no more than a tiny aspect of the totality of consciousness, the totality of who you are.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Thinking is only a small aspect of consciousness. Thought cannot exist without consciousness, but consciousness does not need thought
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Prejudice of any kind implies that you are identified with the thinking mind. It means you don't see the other human being anymore, but only your own concept of that human being. To reduce the aliveness of another human being to a concept is already a form of violence.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The ego says, I shouldn't have to suffer, and that thought makes you suffer so much more.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
As soon as you honor the present moment, all unhappiness and struggle dissolve.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Death is the moment of form dissolving. When that dissolving is not resisted, an opening appears into the dimension of the sacred, into the One formless, unmanifested Life. This is why death is such an incredible opportunity. There is no transformation of human consciousness without the dissolving that death brings.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Focus your attention on the Now and tell me what problem you have at this moment.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
People believe that when they say yes to this moment, things won't change anymore. They're afraid that if they accept what is, whatever form this moment takes, they're going to be stuck forever in this moment that they don't like: this job or relationship or whatever situation they're in that they don't like. But this is not true.
