Focus your attention on the Now and tell me what problem you have at this moment.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Ask yourself what problem you have right now. Not next year, tomorrow or five minutes from now. You can always cope with the now, but you can never cope with the future. Nor do you have to. The answer, the strength and the right action will be there when you need it. Not before or after.
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
Inner resistance to whatever arises in the present moment pulls you back into unconsciousness. Inner resistance is some form of negativity, complaining, fear, aggression, or anger. This is important because whenever you complain about what somebody else does you're already beginning to fall into that trap of unconsciousness.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Spiritual awakening - is becoming awake to the aliveness of this moment.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Whatever you do in your business comes out of a state of inner alignment with life and the source of life itself, so peace flows into whatever you do.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Don't quote the Buddha. Be the Buddha.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
So one could say that the only real problem is dysfunctional thinking, the rest are challenges, not problems.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
For many people, illness - loss of health - represents the crisis situation that triggers an awakening. With serious illness comes awareness of your own mortality, the greatest loss of all.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The light is too painful for someone who wants to remain in darkness.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When you awaken spiritually, in fact, you can use thought much more effectively than before, but you realize there is a depth to your Being, a vibrantly alive stillness that is much vaster than thought. It is consciousness itself, of which the thinking mind is only a tiny aspect.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Even if they don't know it consciously, people can feel when you are making them into a means to an end only. And people are much less likely to do what you want them to do - for example, to buy the car - when they feel you are reducing them into a means to an end.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The primary purpose of life is in being in the NOW.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Awareness of the inner body is consciousness remembering its origin and returning to the Source.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
But there's a shift happening in humanity, a shift in consciousness, happening now because it has to happen now.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Quality requires your Presence.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Peace is your priority, not saving the world. That follows that.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
If the individuals who make up a group have personal egos, and their identities lie in these egos, then their egoic identities will shift to the group. It might look as if they are losing their personal egos, but the ego simply shifts to the group.

If I cannot live with myself, there must be two of me
