The most powerful state for a human to be in is the state of embracing completely the reality of what is - Now. It is to say Yes to life, which is now and always now. There is a vast power in that Yes, that state of inner non-resistance to what is.

Eckhart Tolle
Image
A great silent space holds all of nature in its embrace. It also holds you.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
If your mind carries a heavy burden of past, you will experience more of the same. The past perpetuates itself through lack of presence. The quality of your consciousness at this moment is what shapes the future.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Everything flows with much greater ease when people live as one with the present moment.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
So love is the recognition of oneness in a world of duality. This is the birth of God into the world of form. Love makes the world less worldly, less dense, more transparent to the divine dimension, the light of consciousness itself.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You do not become good by trying to be good, but by finding the goodness that is already within you, and allowing that goodness to emerge. But it can only emerge if something fundamental changes in your state of consciousness.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Go within. Use the inner body as a starting point for going deeper and taking your attention away from where it's usually lodged, in the thinking mind.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Even within the seemingly most unacceptable and painful situation is concealed a deeper good, and within every disaster is contained the seed of grace.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
A practice can be helpful, but didn't the Buddha compare it to a raft, suggesting it be abandoned when you reach the other shore?
