More quotes by Eckhart Tolle
True change happens within not without
Eckhart Tolle
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
Things and conditions can give you pleasure but they cannot give you joy- joy arises from within.
Eckhart Tolle
People believe that when they say yes to this moment, things won't change anymore. They're afraid that if they accept what is, whatever form this moment takes, they're going to be stuck forever in this moment that they don't like: this job or relationship or whatever situation they're in that they don't like. But this is not true.
Eckhart Tolle
Transcending the world does not mean to withdraw from the world, to no longer take action, or to stop interacting with people. Transcendence of the world is to act and to interact without any self-seeking.
Eckhart Tolle
If I cannot live with myself, there must be two of me
Eckhart Tolle
Ego is an immature stage of development for humans, and that's what it will be recognized as when the consciousness changes on the planet. Children will develop an ego and quickly outgrow it. That's very different from developing an ego and being stuck with it for the rest of your life.
Eckhart Tolle
The outer purpose belongs to the horizontal dimension of space and time the inner purpose concerns a deepening of your Being in the vertical dimension of the timeless Now.
Eckhart Tolle
Negative states of mind, such as anger, resentment, fear, envy, and jealousy, are products of the ego.
Eckhart Tolle
The foundation of greatness is honoring the small things of the present moment, instead of pursuing the idea of greatness.
Eckhart Tolle
The ego is just waiting to identify with anything. Whether it's your misery or being a great meditator, it seeks some identification.
Eckhart Tolle
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
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
If you are not taking responsibility for your state of consciousness, you are not taking responsibility for life.
Eckhart Tolle
The power for creating a better future is contained in the present moment: You create a good future by creating a good present.
Eckhart Tolle
Nothing has inflicted more suffering on humanity than its dogmas. It is true that every dogma crumbles sooner or later, because reality will eventually disclose its falseness however, unless the basic delusion of it is seen for what it is, it will be replaced by others.
Eckhart Tolle
Nothing that comes and goes is you. 'I am bored.' Who knows this? 'I am angry, sad, afraid.' Who knows this? You are the knowing, not the condition that is known.
Eckhart Tolle
To be aware of little, quiet things, you need to be quiet inside. A high degree of alertness is required. Be still. Look. Listen. Be present.
Eckhart Tolle
And then there is the universal role of adult. When you play that role, you take yourself and life very seriously. Spontaneity, lightheartedness, and joy are not part of that role.
Eckhart Tolle
For the ego to survive, it must make time - past and future - more important than the present moment.
Eckhart Tolle
