More quotes by Eckhart Tolle

Image
Is fear preventing you from taking action? Acknowledge the fear, watch it, take your attention into it, be fully present with it. Doing so cuts the link between the fear and your thinking. Don't let the fear rise up into your mind. Use the power of the Now. Fear cannot prevail against it.

We are in the final stages of egoic madness. Almost the whole world is fighting each other.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Vipassana is fine until it becomes a technique that has many stages and that takes time to develop. That can be okay for people for a while, but then you have to leave the technique behind.
Eckhart Tolle

True happiness is found in simple, seemingly unremarkable things.
