Quote

To awaken within the dream is our purpose now. When we are awake within the dream, the ego-created earth-drama comes to an end and a more benign and wonderous dream arises.

Image
Thought began to take over and obscured the simple yet profound joy of connectedness with being.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When your consciousness is directed outward, mind and world arise. When it is directed inward, it realises its own Source and returns home into the Unmanifested.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
A self - a me - exists in every thought and every emotion. Suffering arises through complete identification with thinking and emotions.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
...the past gives you an identity and the future holds the promise of salvation, of fulfillment in whaterver form. Both are illusions.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Welcome to the present moment. Here. Now. The only moment there ever is.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Thinking, or more precisely identification with thinking, gives rise to and maintains the ego, which, in our Western society in particular, is out of control. It believes it is real and tries hard to maintain its supremacy. Negative states of mind, such as anger, resentment, fear, envy, and jealousy, are products of the ego.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The power is in you. The answer is in you. And you are the answer to all your searches: you are the goal. You are the answer. It's never outside.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The light is too painful for someone who wants to remain in darkness.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Knowing yourself is to be rooted in Being, instead of lost in your mind.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Life wants to support you. But first you need to be open to life.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You will enjoy any activity in which you are fully present.

Image
When you live as a friend of the now, many changes come into your life.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Sometimes people need to experience acute suffering before the thinking and the awareness of the consciousness separate. People then realize there is another dimension in them that is not thinking but the ability to be aware of thinking. It is not emotion but the ability to be aware of emotion.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
One way to become aware many times during the day is to take a conscious breath. Doing so breaks the stream of thinking.
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
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
Image
If you don't have a good relationship with the now, you don't have a good relationship with life.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Forget about your life situation and pay attention to your life. Your life situation exists in time. Your life is now. Your life situation is mind-stuff. Your life is real. Instead of asking 'what do I want from life?,' a more powerful question is, 'what does life want from me?'

As the character changes in the movie, it rubs off on the viewer, so the viewer also goes through that change.
Eckhart Tolle

When you live in complete acceptance of what is, that is the end of all drama in your life.
