Image
When you recognize the sacredness, the beauty, the incredible stillness and dignity in which a flower or a tree exists, you add something to the flower or the tree. Through your recognition, your awareness, nature too comes to know itself. It comes to know its own beauty and sacredness through you.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The whole world changes when there's presence - sunlight everywhere - because you're not separate from the world.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Once you realize that a certain kind of food makes you sick, would you carry on eating that food and keep on asserting that it's okay to be sick?
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Music bypasses the conceptual mind. Music does not give you food for thought.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The predominance of mind is no more than a stage in the evolution of consciousness. We need to go on to the next stage now as a matter of urgency otherwise, we will be destroyed by the mind, which has grown into a monster.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Through allowing, you become what you are vast, spacious. You become whole. You are not a fragment anymore, which is how the ego perceives itself. Your true nature emerges, which is one with the nature of God.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Significant things often happen when you are present. Things come to you, and then you respond to what is required. The response very often comes without a premeditated idea of what you want. It is simply a response to the situation.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The present moment holds the key to liberation. But you cannot find the present moment as long as you are your mind.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
I don't believe in an outside agent that creates the world, then walks away. But I feel very strongly there is an intelligence at work in every flower, in every blade of grass, in every cell of my body. And it is that intelligence that, I wouldn't say created the universe. It is creating the universe. It's an ongoing process.

The future never comes. Life is always now.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The particular egoic patterns that you react to most strongly in others and misperceive as their identity tend to be the same patterns that are also in you, but that you are unable or unwilling to detect within yourself.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The joy of Being, which is the only true happiness, cannot come to you through any form, possession, achievement, person, or event - through anything that happens. That joy cannot come to you - ever. It emanates from the formless dimension within you, from consciousness itself and thus is one with who you are.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
In fact, people think you have to be stressed to be successful. They think if you are not stressed, something is wrong with you.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
There is another side to death. Whether death happens through an act of violence to a large number of people or to an individual, whether death comes prematurely through illness or accident, or whether death comes through old age, death is always an opening. So a great opportunity comes whenever we face death.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
To know yourself as the Being underneath the thinker, the stillness underneath the mental noise, the love and joy underneath the pain, is freedom, salvation, enlightenment.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When you want to arrive at your goal more than you want to be doing what you are doing, you become stressed.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Discontent, blaming, complaining, self-pity cannot serve as a foundation for a good future, no matter how much effort you make.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Everything is shown up by being exposed to the light, and whatever is exposed to the light itself becomes light.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
If increased meta-knowledge is not counter-balanced by a corresponding growth in consciousness then the likelihood of psycho-spiritual dysfunction is great.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Non-reaction to the ego in others is one of the most effective ways not only of going beyond ego in yourself but also of dissolving the collective human ego.
