Quote

You don't 'have' a life, you 'are' life. The One Life, the one consciousness that pervades the entire universe and takes temporary form to experience itself as a stone or blade of grass, as an animal, a person, a star or a galaxy.

If there are people you haven't forgiven, you're not going to really awaken. You have to let go.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When I'm with people, I'm a spiritual teacher. That's the function, but it's not my identity. The moment I'm alone, my deepest joy is to benobody, to relinquish the function of a teacher. It's a temporary function.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When you listen to a thought, you are aware not only of the thought but also of yourself as the witness of the thought. A new dimension of consciousness has come in.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
For what you do to others, you do to yourself.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Of course, most of the people in this world are stressed, and most of those who are not stressed are totally bored!
Eckhart Tolle

Even running to catch a train or a taxi, you can enjoy the high energy of the moment.

Where ever you are, be there totally.
Eckhart Tolle

You are the knowing, not the condition that is known.
Eckhart Tolle

Instead of fighting the darkness, you bring in the light.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
If you cannot accept an external event immediately, then some kind of resistance will come up. And there may be some external events you cannot accept at all.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Time isn't precious at all, because it is an illusion.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Being is central, and Being is now. The fulfillment of your life is not going to happen through anything. The outer activities in your life are secondary. What is Primary is Being.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Time isn’t precious at all, because it is an illusion. What you perceive as precious is not time but the one point that is out of time: the Now. That is precious indeed. The more you are focused on time—past and future—the more you miss the Now, the most precious thing there is.

On the new Earth, as the awakened consciousness comes in, I would say the ego would develop in children and quickly become outgrown when they reach adulthood.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Reading is my passion and my escape since I was 5 years old. Overall, children don't realize the magic that can live inside their own heads. Better even then any movie.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
I was deeply identified with a very unhappy, egoic entity I believed was me. For years I lived in depression and continuous anxiety. One night I couldn't stand it anymore. The thought came into my mind, I cannot live with myself any longer.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You find peace not by rearranging the circumstances of your life, but by realizing who you are at the deepest level.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When you complain, you make yourself a victim. Leave the situation, change the situation or accept it, all else is madness.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The present moment is all you ever have.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When your fulfillment and sense of self are no longer dependent on the future outcome, joy flows into whatever you do. You do what you do because the action itself is fulfilling. Whatever you do or create in that state is of high quality. This is because it is not a means to an end, and so a loving care flows into your doing.
