When you are present, when your attention is fully and intensely in the Now, Being can be felt, but it can never be understood mentally.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
What could be more futile, more insane, than to create inner resistance to something that already is?
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The place that I love most is the stillness. It's not that the stillness is lost when I talk or when I teach because the words arise out of the stillness. But when people leave me, there is only the stillness left. And I love that so much.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
If the thought of lack -whether it be money, recognition, or love has become part of who you think you are, you will always experience lack. Rather than acknowledge the good that is already in your life, all you see is lack.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The whole world accepts that being stressed is the normal way to live.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Anything that you resent and strongly react to in another is also in you.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Thought began to take over and obscured the simple yet profound joy of connectedness with being.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When you recognize that there is a voice in your head that pretends to be you and never stops speaking, you are awakening out of your unconscious identification with the stream of thinking. When you notice that voice, you realize that who you are is not the voice - the thinker - but the one who is aware of it.

One conscious breathe in and out is a meditation.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The fires of suffering become the light of consciousness.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Ego is an immature stage of development for humans, and that's what it will be recognized as when the consciousness changes on the planet. Children will develop an ego and quickly outgrow it. That's very different from developing an ego and being stuck with it for the rest of your life.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Rather than being your thoughts and emotions, be the awareness behind them.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Awareness is the greatest agent for change.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The past cannot survive in your presence. It can only survive in your absence.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Welcome to the present moment. Here. Now. The only moment there ever is.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
This, too, will pass.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
True communication is communion-the realization of oneness, which is love.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You don't 'have' a life, you 'are' life. The One Life, the one consciousness that pervades the entire universe and takes temporary form to experience itself as a stone or blade of grass, as an animal, a person, a star or a galaxy.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The goal has its importance. But the doing is what is truly fulfilling. Every enthusiastic person has a goal that may be important, but the doing is intensely fulfilling, and it is the essence of enthusiasm.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The fullness of life is only accessible in the present moment.
