More quotes by Eckhart Tolle
The false self lives mainly through memory and anticipation. Past and future are its main preoccupation.
Eckhart Tolle
Failures lies concealed in every success in every failure.
Eckhart Tolle
Die to the past every moment. You don't need it. Only refer to it when it is absolutely relevant to the present. Feel the power of this moment and the fullness of Being. Feel your presence.
Eckhart Tolle
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
One only needs to read twentieth-century history to see that it has been the climax of human madness, if it's measured in terms of human violence inflicted on other humans.
Eckhart Tolle
When there's somebody there who is transparent enough so that the stillness comes through unhindered, there's a reciprocal movement in you because the presence of stillness suddenly recognizes itself.
Eckhart Tolle
All true artists, whether they know it or not, create from a place of no-mind, from inner stillness.
Eckhart Tolle
To recognize one's own insanity is, of course, the arising of sanity, the beginning of healing and transcendence.
Eckhart Tolle
Practice presence -- embrace the place where life happens.
Eckhart Tolle
Not to be able to stop thinking is a dreadful affliction, but we don't realize this because almost everyone is suffering from it, so it is considered normal. This incessant mental noise prevents you from finding that realm of inner stillness that is inseparable from Being.
Eckhart Tolle
Thinking is only a small aspect of consciousness. Thought cannot exist without consciousness, but consciousness does not need thought
Eckhart Tolle
Inner resistance to whatever arises in the present moment pulls you back into unconsciousness. Inner resistance is some form of negativity, complaining, fear, aggression, or anger. This is important because whenever you complain about what somebody else does you're already beginning to fall into that trap of unconsciousness.
Eckhart Tolle
Nothing ever happened in the past that can prevent you from being present now, and if the past cant prevent you from being present now, what power does it have?
Eckhart Tolle
In today's rush we all think too much, seek too much, want too much and forget about the joy of just Being.
Eckhart Tolle
The foundation of greatness is honoring the small things of the present moment, instead of pursuing the idea of greatness.
Eckhart Tolle
The mind left to itself creates monstrosities, and not only in art galleries. Look at our urban landscapes and industrial wastelands. No civilization has ever produced so much ugliness.
Eckhart Tolle
Always work with the present moment, not against it. Make it your friend and ally, not your enemy. This will miraculously transform your whole life.
Eckhart Tolle
Most people are so distracted by their thoughts, so identified with the voices in their heads, they no longer feel the aliveness within them. To be unable to feel the life that animates the physical body, the very life that you are, is the greatest deprivation that can happen to you.
Eckhart Tolle
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?'
Eckhart Tolle
Those who have not found their true wealth, which is the radiant joy of Being and the deep, unshakable peace that comes with it, are beggars, even if they have great material wealth.
Eckhart Tolle
