Awareness is the greatest agent for change.
Eckhart Tolle

When great loss happens - deaths close to you or your own approaching death - this is an opportunity for stepping completely out of identification with form and realizing the essence of who you are, or that the essence of anyone who is suffering or dying is beyond death.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Most people don't know how to listen because the major part of their attention is taken up by thinking.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Welcome to the present moment. Here. Now. The only moment there ever is.
Eckhart Tolle

Not to be able to stop thinking is an affliction, but we don't realise this because almost everybody is suffering from it.
Eckhart Tolle

As soon as the mind and mind identification return you're no longer yourself but a mental image of yourself, and you start playing games and roles again to get your ego needs met.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Enthusiasm is when the universe creates through you. You are involved in a creative act. You are bringing something new into this world. When that energy comes in, you feel an intense aliveness that flows into what you do. That is enthusiasm.

Eckhart Tolle
Image
The great arises out of small things that are honored and cared for.
Eckhart Tolle

Don't think of yourself as having a past, don't think of yourself as having a future. What's left?
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When your sense of self is no longer tied to thought, is no longer conceptual, there is a depth of feeling, of sensing, of compassion, of loving, that was not there when you were trapped in mental concepts. You are that depth.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
There is a fine balance between honoring the past and losing yourself in it. For example, you can acknowledge and learn from mistakes you made, and then move on and refocus on the now. It is called forgiving yourself.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The reason why some people love to engage in dangerous activities, such as mountain climbing, car racing, and so on, although they may not be aware of it, is that it forces them into the Now - that intensely alive state that is free of time, free of problems, free of thinking, free of the burden of the personality.
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
You are not a problem that needs solving.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
There is a fine balance between honoring the past and losing yourself in it.

Just as the sun is infinitely brighter than a candle flame, there is infinitely more intelligence in Being than in your mind
