Humanity is reaching the end of the evolutionary stage of ego. The closer we get to the end, the more dysfunctional humanity becomes.

More quotes by Eckhart Tolle
Awareness is conscious connection with universal intelligence. Another word for it is Presence: consciousness without thought.
Eckhart Tolle
When your consciousness is directed outward, mind and world arise. When it is directed inward, it realises its own Source and returns home into the Unmanifested.
Eckhart Tolle
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
Seek out a tree and let it teach you stillness.
Eckhart Tolle
If you are in a state of intense presence you are free of thought, yet highly alert. If your conscious attention sinks below a certain level, thought rushes in, the mental noise returns, stillness is lost, you're back in time.
Eckhart Tolle
Discontent, blaming, complaining, self-pity cannot serve as a foundation for a good future, no matter how much effort you make.
Eckhart Tolle
To offer no resistance to life is to be in a state of grace, ease, and lightness. This state is then no longer dependent upon things being in a certain way, good or bad. It seems almost paradoxical, yet when your inner dependency on form is gone, the general conditions of your life, the outer forms, tend to improve greatly.
Eckhart Tolle
Hope is what keeps you going, but hope keeps you focused on the future, and this continued focus perpetuates your denial of the Now and therefore your unhappiness.
Eckhart Tolle
When you live in surrender, something comes through you into the world of duality that is not of this world.
Eckhart Tolle
Forget about your life situation and pay attention to your life. Your life situation exists in time. Your life is now. Your life situation is mind-stuff. Your life is real. Instead of asking 'what do I want from life?,' a more powerful question is, 'what does life want from me?'
Eckhart Tolle
There is a fine balance between honoring the past and losing yourself in it.
Eckhart Tolle
Thinking is only a small aspect of consciousness. Thought cannot exist without consciousness, but consciousness does not need thought
Eckhart Tolle
When you are in the present moment, you break the continuity of your story, of past and future. Then true intelligence arises, and also love.
Eckhart Tolle
Pick up any history book, and I suggest you begin with studying the 20th century, and you will find that a large part of the history of our species has all the characteristics we would normally associate with a nightmare or an insane hallucination.
Eckhart Tolle
Quality requires your Presence.
Eckhart Tolle
When you want to arrive at your goal more than you want to be doing what you are doing, you become stressed.
Eckhart Tolle
Thinking is no more than a tiny aspect of the totality of consciousness, the totality of who you are.
Eckhart Tolle
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
Don't judge or analyze what you observe. Watch the thought, feel the emotion, observe the reaction. Don't make a personal problem out of them. You will then feel something more powerful than any of those things that you observe: the still, observing presence itself behind the content of your mind, the silent watcher.
Eckhart Tolle
Bring awareness to the many subtle sounds of nature - The rustling of leaves in the wind, Raindrops falling, The humming of an insect, The first birdsong at dawn.
