Knowing yourself is to be rooted in Being, instead of lost in your mind.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Although an increasing number of humans are undergoing a process of awakening, identification with thinking is still the prevalent state of consciousness. Thinking is potentially a powerful tool, but it has taken us over, and a lot of it is dysfunctional and negative.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Once bliss becomes normal it's no longer bliss, it's just peace.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Are you polluting the world or cleaning up the mess? You are responsible for your inner space nobody else is, just as you are responsible for the planet. As within, so without: If humans clear inner pollution, then they will also cease to create outer pollution.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Even if you achieve your outer purpose, it will never satisfy you if you haven't found your inner purpose, which is awakening, being present, being in alignment with life. True power comes out of the presence it is the presence.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Whenever there is negativity in you, if you can be aware in that moment that there is something in you that takes pleasure in it or believes it has a useful purpose, you are becoming aware of the ego directly. The moment this happens your identity has shifted from ego to awareness. This means the ego is shrinking and awareness is growing.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The only thing you ever have is now.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Many people see themselves as a problem that needs to be solved. They also habitually see the present moment as an obstacle that they need to overcome or get away from. With awareness, an inner sense of spaciousness arises that enables you to look at your own mind, which is to say the human mind, with a certain degree of detachment.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Everything flows with much greater ease when people live as one with the present moment.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
We get lost in doing, thinking, remembering, anticipating - lost in a maze of complexity and a world of problems. Nature can show us the way home, the way out of the prison of our own minds.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Nothing that was real ever died, only names, forms, and illusions.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You can not have an argument with a fully conscious person.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You are not separate from the whole. You are one with the sun, the earth, the air. You don’t have a life. You are life.
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
You are the sky. The clouds are what happens, what comes and goes.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The unchecked striving for more, for endless growth, is a dysfunction and a disease. It is the same dysfunction the cancerous cell manifests, whose only goal is to multiply itself, unaware that it is bringing about its own destruction by destroying the organism of which it is a part.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
There is a fine balance between honoring the past and losing yourself in it. For example, you can acknowledge and learn from mistakes you made, and then move on and refocus on the now. It is called forgiving yourself.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Observe your thoughts, don't believe them.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
In the eyes of the ego, self-esteem and humility are contradictory. In truth, they are one and the same.
