Many people live with a tormentor in their head that continuously attacks and punishes them and drains them of vital energy. It is the cause of untold misery and unhappiness, as well as of disease.

More quotes by Eckhart Tolle
Seek out a tree and let it teach you stillness.
Eckhart Tolle
Religion and ritual can be vehicles for entering stillness. It says in Psalm 46:10, 'Be still, and know that I am God.' But they are still just vehicles. The Buddha called his teaching a raft: You don't need to carry it around with you after you've crossed the river.
Eckhart Tolle
True happiness is not related to external conditions but comes from the unconditioned.
Eckhart Tolle
Music creates a bridge for people to move out of thinking and into presence.
Eckhart Tolle
Be aware of your breathing as often as you are able, whenever you remember. Do that for one year, and it will be powerfully transformative. And it's free.
Eckhart Tolle
Fear seems to have many causes. Fear of loss, fear of failure, fear of being hurt, and so on, but ultimately all fear is the ego's fear of death, of annihilation. To the ego, death is always just around the corner. In this mind-identified state, fear of death affects every aspect of your life.
Eckhart Tolle
In certain extreme cases, medication may be necessary. But it is given far too often, too easily, and too readily. Millions of children already are on tranquilizers, for example, and that is absurd.
Eckhart Tolle
When one child says to another, I can do this, I bet you can't My dad has a bigger car than yours or, My dad is stronger than yours. Children identify with this or that, trying to build up a sense of self - a mentally defined sense of self.
Eckhart Tolle
Stillness is your essential nature.
Eckhart Tolle
What will be left of all the fearing and wanting associated with your problematic life situation that every day takes up most of your attention? A dash, one or two inches long, between the date of birth and date of death on your gravestone.
Eckhart Tolle
Until presence becomes your predominant state, you may find yourself moving back and forth for a while between the old consciousness and the new, between mind identification and presence.
Eckhart Tolle
Stress is a form of suffering, but it is accepted as normal. And it is normal in our world.
Eckhart Tolle
Some groups and individuals still are immersed totally in the egoic consciousness. Others already are free or in the process of stepping out of ego. The arising of the new consciousness already has started for many people. They are not yet recognizable as groups, but they are here and there.
Eckhart Tolle
There's something in everybody that longs for that awakening to be more true to yourself.
Eckhart Tolle
Even a stone, and more easily a flower or a bird, could show you the way back to God, to the Source, to yourself. When you look at it or hold it & let it be without imposing a word of mental label on it, a sense of awe, of wonder, arises within you. Its essence silently communicates itself to you and reflects your own essence back to you.
Eckhart Tolle
Life has no opposite. The opposite of death is birth. Life is eternal.
Eckhart Tolle
All it takes is a simple choice, a simple decision: no matter what happens, I will create no more pain for myself. I will create no more problems.
Eckhart Tolle
Forgive yourself for not being at peace.
Eckhart Tolle
The more you are focused on time-past and future-the more you miss the Now, the most precious thing there is.
Eckhart Tolle
The foundation of greatness is honoring the small things of the present moment, instead of pursuing the idea of greatness.
