Be aware that what you think, to a large extent, creates the emotions that you feel. See the link between your thinking and your emotions. Rather than being your thoughts and emotions, be the awareness behind them.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
... inherited collective mind-patterns ... have kept humans in bondage to suffering for eons.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Everything is as it is at any moment. There's no way of arguing, because you are arguing with reality - the isness of this moment. You can argue with it, but that's suffering.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Neither concepts nor mathematical formulae can explain the infinite.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
If you cannot accept an external event immediately, then some kind of resistance will come up. And there may be some external events you cannot accept at all.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
I enjoy going to Starbucks, having a cup of coffee, sitting in my car, driving from here to there, sitting at home looking at the trees, going for a walk with a dog. It's all very enjoyable.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
I had been anxious and depressed for years and suddenly I was deeply at peace.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Through being right, you feel superior and through feeling superior you strengthen your sense of self. In reality, of course, you are only strengthening the illusion of ego.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The most powerful state for a human to be in is the state of embracing completely the reality of what is - Now. It is to say Yes to life, which is now and always now. There is a vast power in that Yes, that state of inner non-resistance to what is.
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.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Each person's life – each lifeform, in fact – represents a world, a unique way in which the universe experiences itself.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
...the past gives you an identity and the future holds the promise of salvation, of fulfillment in whaterver form. Both are illusions.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Consciousness is a vast ocean and thinking is the waves & ripples on the surface of the ocean.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Wake up. Get out of your mind. Be present.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When you are suffering, when you are unhappy, stay totally with what is Now. Unhappiness or problems cannot survive in the Now.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When you are fully present with everyone you meet, you relinquish the conceptual identity you made for them - your interpretation of who they are and what they did in the past - and are able to interact without the egoic movements of desire and fear. Attention, which is alert stillness, is the key.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You cannot fight against the ego and win, just as you cannot fight against darkness. The light of consciousness is all that is necessary. You are that light.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Time isn’t precious at all, because it is an illusion. What you perceive as precious is not time but the one point that is out of time: the Now. That is precious indeed. The more you are focused on time—past and future—the more you miss the Now, the most precious thing there is.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The more shared past there is in a relationship, the more present you need to be.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Your true evolution is not what you do out there. That's secondary. Your true evolution is to do with the arising of awareness in you as you go about your life.
