More quotes by Eckhart Tolle
Some people get attached to their practice. They get good at it, but even becoming a good meditator can become a hindrance.
Eckhart Tolle
Enlightened groups can exist, as long as the individuals' sense of identity is not derived from a mentally defined image of us.
Eckhart Tolle
It is much more likely that help comes in when what you are doing is done while you are in a state of inner peace, rather than resistance.
Eckhart Tolle
So love is the recognition of oneness in a world of duality. This is the birth of God into the world of form. Love makes the world less worldly, less dense, more transparent to the divine dimension, the light of consciousness itself.
Eckhart Tolle
For some people, it's the beginning of an awakening when they hear or read, You have a voice in your head that never stops talking. Have you noticed that? And suddenly they become aware that the thoughts go through their heads, whereas before they were so identified with them that they were those thoughts.
Eckhart Tolle
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.
Eckhart Tolle
Music creates a bridge for people to move out of thinking and into presence.
Eckhart Tolle
Evil is an extreme manifestation of human unconsciousness.
Eckhart Tolle
Whatever is arising in this moment, whatever condition, is part of the isness of life and therefore accepting it fully makes you an expression of the enormous power of life itself-true intelligence, which only comes when you stop obstructing the power of the present moment.
Eckhart Tolle
As long as you make an identity for yourself out of pain, you cannot be free of it.
Eckhart Tolle
We can learn not to keep situations or events alive in our minds, but to return our attention continuously to the pristine, timeless present moment rather than be caught up in mental movie making.
Eckhart Tolle
The most important healing - realizing who you are. The healing on the outer level is fine, but it's not the essence of healing.
Eckhart Tolle
There can be associations - enlightened businesses, for example - that do not work on the basis of us against them or wanting profit as the main motivating force behind what they do.
Eckhart Tolle
Sometimes people need to experience acute suffering before the thinking and the awareness of the consciousness separate. People then realize there is another dimension in them that is not thinking but the ability to be aware of thinking. It is not emotion but the ability to be aware of emotion.
Eckhart Tolle
Rather than being your thoughts and emotions, be the awareness behind them.
Eckhart Tolle
Go within. Use the inner body as a starting point for going deeper and taking your attention away from where it's usually lodged, in the thinking mind.
Eckhart Tolle
To the ego, the present moment hardly exists. Only past and future are considered important.
Eckhart Tolle
In this way, a permanent energy field of a pure and high frequency will arise between you. No illusion, no pain, no conflict, nothing that is not you, and nothing that is not love can survive in it. This represents the the fulfillment of the divine transpersonal purpose of your relationship.
Eckhart Tolle
Music bypasses the conceptual mind. Music does not give you food for thought.
Eckhart Tolle
We are in the final stages of egoic madness. Almost the whole world is fighting each other.
