Quote

Every practice at some point will become a hindrance. No practice can ever take you there, to freedom, to liberation. That's important to realize.

It is much more likely that help comes in when what you are doing is done while you are in a state of inner peace, rather than resistance.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
It's a wonderful thing to perceive the world and to interact with it and with other people and nature from that deep place of utter stillness, where the compulsion to immediately label and interpret whatever arises around you is no longer there.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
What you encounter at your destination once you get there depends on the quality of this one step. Another way of putting it: What the future holds for you depends on your state of consciousness now.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
So far for humans it has been the case that ego develops and then humans are stuck with it for the rest of their lives.
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

Knowing yourself is to be rooted in Being, instead of lost in your mind.
Eckhart Tolle

Life is an adventure, it's not a package tour.
Eckhart Tolle

So one could say that the only real problem is dysfunctional thinking, the rest are challenges, not problems.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When you live in surrender, something comes through you into the world of duality that is not of this world.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Every challenge takes you a little deeper and awakens you again and again. Without the challenges, you probably would go to back to sleep. The challenges keep you awake.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Complaining is one of the ego's favorite strategies for strengthening itself.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Become conscious of being conscious.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Any action is often better than no action, especially if you have been stuck in an unhappy situation for a long time. If it is a mistake, at least you learn something, in which case it's no longer a mistake. If you remain stuck, you learn nothing.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
To the ego, the present moment hardly exists. Only past and future are considered important. This total reversal of the truth accounts for the fact that in the ego mode the mind is so dysfunctional. It is always concerned with keeping the past alive, because without it - who are you?
Eckhart Tolle
Image
In any relationship, especially marriage, be as free of compulsive thinking as possible. In other words, the more space there is in the relationship - inner space - the more love there is because love arises out of the inner spaciousness.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The most rigid structures, the most impervious to change, will collapse first.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Life isn't as serious as the mind makes it out to be.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
True communication is communion-the realization of oneness, which is love.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
We are destined not to go back to the level of animals that we've come from but to return to being by going beyond thinking.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You create a good future by creating a good present. How do you do that? By recognizing the goodness that is already inherent in the present moment, even in the midst of challenges. Discontent, blaming, complaining, self-pity cannot serve as a foundation for a good future, no matter how much effort you make.
