Quote

You need no time to open yourself to the power of now and so awaken to who you are beyond name and form and realize that in the depth of your being, you are already complete, whole, one with the timeless essence of all life.

More quotes by Eckhart Tolle

Image
Joy is uncaused and arises from within as the joy of Being. It is an essential part of the inner state of peace, the state that has been called the peace of God. It is your natural state, not something that you need to work hard for or struggle to attain.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Give up defining yourself - to yourself or to others. You won't die. You will come to life.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The present moment is all you ever have. There is never a time when your life is not 'this moment.' Is this not a fact?
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Enlightened groups can exist, as long as the individuals' sense of identity is not derived from a mentally defined image of us.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Thought alone cannot recognize spiritual truths no matter how highly developed thought is. It's impossible.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Anything that you resent and strongly react to in another is also in you.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Neither failure nor success has the power to change your inner state of Being.
Eckhart Tolle

Instead of fighting the darkness, you bring in the light.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
We could say that the totality, life wants the sapling to become a tree, but the sapling doesn't see itself as separate from life and so wants nothing for itself. It is one with what life wants. That's why it isn't worried or stressed. And, if it has to die prematurely, it dies with ease.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Don't get stuck on the level of words. A word is no more than a means to an end. It's an abstraction. Not unlike a signpost, it points beyond itself
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Can you look without the voice in your head commenting, drawing conclusions, comparing, or trying to figure something out?
Eckhart Tolle
Image
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
Image
I'm grateful for always this moment, the now, no matter what form it takes.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Not to be able to stop thinking is a dreadful affliction, but we don't realize this because almost everyone is suffering from it, so it is considered normal. This incessant mental noise prevents you from finding that realm of inner stillness that is inseparable from Being.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
As you become present and thereby total in what you do, your actions become charged with spiritual power.
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
Many people see themselves as a problem that needs to be solved. They also habitually see the present moment as an obstacle that they need to overcome or get away from. With awareness, an inner sense of spaciousness arises that enables you to look at your own mind, which is to say the human mind, with a certain degree of detachment.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Time isn’t precious at all, because it is an illusion. What you perceive as precious is not time but the one point that is out of time: the Now. That is precious indeed. The more you are focused on time—past and future—the more you miss the Now, the most precious thing there is.

Stillness is your essential nature.
