Every addiction arises from an unconscious refusal to face and move through your own pain. Every addiction starts with pain and ends with pain. Whatever the substance you are addicted to - alcohol, food, legal or illegal drugs, or a person - you are using something or somebody to cover up your pain.
Eckhart Tolle

Thinking is only a small aspect of consciousness. Thought cannot exist without consciousness, but consciousness does not need thought

Accept the present moment and find the perfection that is deeper than any form and untouched by time.
Eckhart Tolle

Challenges are something that can only be tackled in the present moment and require action.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Whenever you are immersed in compulsive thinking, you are avoiding what is. You don't want to be where you are. Here, Now.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Present-moment awareness creates a gap not only in the stream of mind but also in the past-future continuum. Nothing truly new and creative can come into this world except through that gap, that clear space of infinite possibility.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
We are a species that has lost its way. Everything natural, every flower or tree, and every animal have important lessons to teach us if we would only stop, look, and listen.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You are the love and joy beneath the pain.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Creativity arises out of the state of thoughtless presence in which you are much more awake than when you are engrossed in thinking.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Some groups and individuals still are immersed totally in the egoic consciousness. Others already are free or in the process of stepping out of ego. The arising of the new consciousness already has started for many people. They are not yet recognizable as groups, but they are here and there.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The more you are focused on time-past and future-the more you miss the Now, the most precious thing there is.

The fires of suffering become the light of consciousness.
