When one child says to another, I can do this, I bet you can't My dad has a bigger car than yours or, My dad is stronger than yours. Children identify with this or that, trying to build up a sense of self - a mentally defined sense of self.

Humans are potentially capable of living in a state of consciousness compared to which normal wakefulness is like sleeping or dreaming.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Direct your attention inward. Have a look inside yourself. What kind of thoughts is your mind producing? What do you feel? Direct your attention into the body. Is there any tension? Once you detect that there is a low level of unease, the background static, see in what way you are avoiding, resisting, or denying life-by denying the Now.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The essence of every form is the deathless. Even the essence of a blade of grass is the deathless. And that's why the world of form is sacred.

Life has no opposite. The opposite of death is birth. Life is eternal.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When you take your attention into the present moment, a certain alertness arises. You become more conscious of what's around you, but also, strangely, a sense of presence that is both within and without.
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
To have your attention in the Now is not a denial of what is needed in your life. It is recognition of what is primary.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
For what you do to others, you do to yourself.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You create a good future by creating a good present. How do you do that? By recognizing the goodness that is already inherent in the present moment, even in the midst of challenges. Discontent, blaming, complaining, self-pity cannot serve as a foundation for a good future, no matter how much effort you make.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The light is too painful for someone who wants to remain in darkness.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Gratefulness for what is there is one of the most powerful tools for creating what is not yet there. What does gratefulness mean? It means you appreciate what is. You value, you give attention to, you honor whatever is here at this moment.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The mental suffering you create is always some form of non-acceptance, some form of unconscious resistance to what is. On the level of thought, the resistance is some form of judgement. The intensity of the suffering depends on the degree of resistance to the present moment.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You cannot give your full attention to something, and at the same time resist it.
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
It's a wonderful thing to perceive the world and to interact with it and with other people and nature from that deep place of utter stillness, where the compulsion to immediately label and interpret whatever arises around you is no longer there.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Ultimately what you do is secondary. But how you do it is primary.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Most people don't know how to listen because the major part of their attention is taken up by thinking.
