Eckhart Tolle
Image
I don't believe in an outside agent that creates the world, then walks away. But I feel very strongly there is an intelligence at work in every flower, in every blade of grass, in every cell of my body. And it is that intelligence that, I wouldn't say created the universe. It is creating the universe. It's an ongoing process.

Eckhart Tolle
Image
How do you let go of attachment to things? Don’t even try. It’s impossible. Attachment to things drops away by itself when you no longer seek to find yourself in them.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
True change happens within, not without. Find the Now within. Everybody you come in contact with will be touched by your presence and affected by the peace that you emanate, whether they are conscious of it or not.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When you live in surrender, something comes through you into the world of duality that is not of this world.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
And so I came to understand why some masters sometimes say, You are already enlightened.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Nothing that was real ever died, only names, forms, and illusions.
Eckhart Tolle

The great arises out of small things that are honored and cared for.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
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
Image
There are situations when all answers and explanations fade. When you fully accept that you do not know, you give up struggling to find answers with the limited thinking mind. That is when the greater intelligence can operate though you. Sometimes surrender means giving up trying to understand and becoming comfortable with not knowing.

If you don't have a good relationship with the now, you don't have a good relationship with life.
