The soul is your innermost being. The presence that you are beyond form. The consciousness that you are beyond form, that is the soul. That is who you are in essence.

The evolutionary impulse is towards disidentification from thinking and the arising of awareness or presence, but the gravitational pull of the old consciousness, or rather unconsciousness, is still quite heavy. It's been around for thousands of years.
Eckhart Tolle

Music creates a bridge for people to move out of thinking and into presence.
Eckhart Tolle

Don't wait to be successful at some future point, have a successful relationship with the present moment and be fully present in whatever you are doing. That is success.
Eckhart Tolle

Music is a wonderful way of getting in touch with the stillness within.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
What a liberation to realize that the 'voice in my head' is not who I am. 'Who am I, then?' The one who sees that.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Awareness is the power that is concealed within the present moment. … The ultimate purpose of human existence, which is to say, your purpose, is to bring that power into this world.

Consciousness is a vast ocean and thinking is the waves & ripples on the surface of the ocean.
Eckhart Tolle

Always work with the present moment, not against it. Make it your friend and ally, not your enemy. This will miraculously transform your whole life.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When your fulfillment and sense of self are no longer dependent on the future outcome, joy flows into whatever you do. You do what you do because the action itself is fulfilling. Whatever you do or create in that state is of high quality. This is because it is not a means to an end, and so a loving care flows into your doing.

The present moment is all you ever have.
Eckhart Tolle

Thinking is no more than a tiny aspect of the totality of consciousness, the totality of who you are.
Eckhart Tolle

Even within the seemingly most unacceptable and painful situation is concealed a deeper good, and within every disaster is contained the seed of grace.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Let go of thought, become still and alert, and don't try to understand or explain.
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
Every spiritual teaching points to the possibility of the end of suffering - Now. It is true that most teachers have had to go through the Dark Night of the Soul, although for one or two it was very, very quick.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
There is only one perpetrator of evil on the planet: human unconsciousness. That realization is true forgiveness. With forgiveness, your victim identity dissolves, and your true power emerges--the power of Presence. Instead of blaming the darkness, you bring in the light.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Stress is caused by being here but wanting to be there, or being in the present but wanting to be in the future. It's a split that tears you apart inside.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
As long as we define ourselves in terms of our pain and our problems, we will never be free from them.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Many people see themselves as a problem that needs to be solved. They also habitually see the present moment as an obstacle that they need to overcome or get away from. With awareness, an inner sense of spaciousness arises that enables you to look at your own mind, which is to say the human mind, with a certain degree of detachment.

The state of presence is the only state in which creative energy is available to you.
