Until presence becomes your predominant state, you may find yourself moving back and forth for a while between the old consciousness and the new, between mind identification and presence.

More quotes by Eckhart Tolle
Wake up. Get out of your mind. Be present.
Eckhart Tolle
Create a gap of no-mind in which you are highly alert and aware but not thinking. This is the essence of meditation.
Eckhart Tolle
When you see around you the human form suffering or dissolving, you have empathy on the human level. You share the suffering because it has to do with the fleetingness of form. But if that is the only level that operates in you, you haven't gone beyond suffering.
Eckhart Tolle
The Now is as it is because it cannot be otherwise. What Buddhists have always known, physicists now confirm: there are no isolated things or events. Underneath the surface appearance, all things are interconnected, are part of the totality of the cosmos that has brought about the form that this moment takes.
Eckhart Tolle
For the ego to survive, it must make time - past and future - more important than the present moment.
Eckhart Tolle
Movies really have replaced what traditionally were mythologies, that every culture had their mythological beliefs and their collective 'stories.' There is now the possibility for movies to embody that arising new state of consciousness.
Eckhart Tolle
When you lose touch with yourself, you lose yourself in the world.
Eckhart Tolle
You are the Universe expressing itself as a human for a little while.
Eckhart Tolle
The greatest achievement of humanity is not its works of art, science, or technology, but the recognition of its own dysfunction.
Eckhart Tolle
You are not IN the universe, you ARE the universe.
Eckhart Tolle
The other person's presence ultimately is the same as your presence, because it is in presence that there is true meeting.
Eckhart Tolle
The past cannot survive in your presence. It can only survive in your absence.
Eckhart Tolle
When you are present, you can allow the mind to be as it is without getting entangled in it. The mind itself is a wonderful tool. Dysfunction sets in when you seek your self in it and mistake it for who you are.
Eckhart Tolle
What could be more futile, more insane, than to create inner resistance to something that already is?
Eckhart Tolle
Loss is very painful, because any kind of loss leaves a hole in the fabric of one's existence.
Eckhart Tolle
Knowing yourself is to be rooted in Being, instead of lost in your mind.
Eckhart Tolle
The significance is hiding in the insignificant. Appreciate everything.
Eckhart Tolle
To stay present in everyday life, it helps to be deeply rooted within yourself otherwise, the mind, which has incredible momentum, will drag you along like a wild river.
Eckhart Tolle
Not to be able to stop thinking is an affliction, but we don't realise this because almost everybody is suffering from it.
Eckhart Tolle
If you are not in the state of either acceptance, enjoyment, or enthusiasm, look closely and you will find that you are creating suffering for yourself and others.
Eckhart Tolle
