You can always cope with the present moment, but you cannot cope with something that is only a mind projection - you cannot cope with the future.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You create a good future by creating a good present.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The realm of consciousness is much vaster than thought can grasp. When you no longer believe everything you think, you step out of thought and see clearly that the thinker is not who you are.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The present moment holds the key to liberation. But you cannot find the present moment as long as you are your mind.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Failures lies concealed in every success in every failure.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Awareness is the greatest agent for change.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
With stillness comes the benediction of peace”. “Thinking isolates a situation or event and calls it good or bad, as if it had a separate existence. Through excessive reliance on thinking, reality becomes fragmented. This fragmentation is an illusion, but seems very real while you are trapped in it.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Welcome to the present moment. Here. Now. The only moment there ever is.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
We are in the final stages of egoic madness. Almost the whole world is fighting each other.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Consciousness is a vast ocean and thinking is the waves & ripples on the surface of the ocean.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
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
Image
The basis for true change is freedom from negativity. And that's what acceptance implies: no negativity about what is. And then you see what this moment requires: what is it that is required now so that life can express itself more fully?
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Surrendering only refers to this moment, whatever is at this moment - to accept unconditionally and fully whatever arises at this moment.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Observe your thoughts, don't believe them.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
I'm grateful for always this moment, the now, no matter what form it takes.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You can still achieve certain things through effort, struggle, determination, and sheer hard work or cunning. But there is no joy in such endeavor, and it invariably ends in some form of suffering.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The future is usually imagined as either better or worse than the present. If the imagined future is better, it gives you hope or pleasurable anticipation. If it is worse, it creates anxiety. Both are illusory.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
People are amazed to realize they can enjoy the moment rather than be stressed by it when hurrying to an appointment. You can enjoy the energy movement of the moment when you do not have a mental projection of a future moment you need to get to. You still know that you need to get there, but it is the secondary consideration.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When you go deeply into the present, gratitude arises spontaneously, even if it's just gratitude for breathing, gratitude for the aliveness that you feel in your body. Gratitude is there when you acknowledge the aliveness of the present moment.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The particular egoic patterns that you react to most strongly in others and misperceive as their identity tend to be the same patterns that are also in you, but that you are unable or unwilling to detect within yourself.
