More quotes by Eckhart Tolle
Peace comes from being aligned with the present moment. Wherever you are, you feel that you are home—because you are home.
Eckhart Tolle
The 'soul' is one of the words you can use to talk about your innermost being, the essence of who you are.
Eckhart Tolle
For most people, spiritual awakening is a gradual process. Rarely does it happen all at once. When it does, though, it is usually brought about by intense suffering.
Eckhart Tolle
In fact, the collective energy field of presence can be very helpful when people come together. It can give you an enormous boost.
Eckhart Tolle
Most people's lives are run by desire and fear. Desire is the need to add something to yourself in order to be yourself more fully. All fear is the fear of losing something and thereby becoming diminished and being less. These two movements obscure the fact that Being cannot be given or taken away. Being in its fullness is already within you, Now.
Eckhart Tolle
Allow your dog to take you for a walk every day. It's good for the body and it's good for the soul.
Eckhart Tolle
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.
Eckhart Tolle
The moment that judgement stops through acceptance of what it is, you are free of the mind. You have made room for love, for joy, for peace.
Eckhart Tolle
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
When you live in complete acceptance of what is, that is the end of all drama in your life.
Eckhart Tolle
When you let go of the belief that you should or need to know who you are, what happens to confusion? Suddenly it is gone. When you fully accept that you don't know, you actually enter a state of peace and clarity that is closer to who you truly are than thought could ever be. Defining yourself through thought is limiting yourself.
Eckhart Tolle
To offer no resistance to life is to be in a state of grace, ease, and lightness. This state is then no longer dependent upon things being in a certain way, good or bad. It seems almost paradoxical, yet when your inner dependency on form is gone, the general conditions of your life, the outer forms, tend to improve greatly.
Eckhart Tolle
Your primary purpose is to be here fully, and to be total in whatever you do so that the preciousness of the present moment does not become reduced to a means to an end. And there you have your life purpose. That's the very foundation of your life.
Eckhart Tolle
When you are in the present moment, you break the continuity of your story, of past and future. Then true intelligence arises, and also love.
Eckhart Tolle
Of course, most of the people in this world are stressed, and most of those who are not stressed are totally bored!
Eckhart Tolle
The whole world accepts that being stressed is the normal way to live.
Eckhart Tolle
If we don't change, if the egoic consciousness continues, I don't believe that humanity as a species can survive, or at least human civilization can survive, for another hundred years.
Eckhart Tolle
Many people live habitually as if the present moment were an obstacle that they need to overcome in order to get to the next moment, and imagine living your whole live like that. Always, this moment is not quite good enough because you need to get to the next one.
Eckhart Tolle
The sun never sets. It is only an appearance due to the observer's limited perspective. And yet, what a sublime illusion it is.
Eckhart Tolle
Nothing has inflicted more suffering on humanity than its dogmas. It is true that every dogma crumbles sooner or later, because reality will eventually disclose its falseness however, unless the basic delusion of it is seen for what it is, it will be replaced by others.
