Image
To experience anything fully and see it clearly there must be a moment of presence where conceptual thinking is not interfering with your experience of that moment.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Because of its phantom nature, and despite elaborate defense mechanisms, the ego is very vulnerable and insecure, and it sees itself as constantly under threat. This, by the way, is the case even if the ego is outwardly very confident.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Once you have had a glimpse of awareness or Presence, you know it firsthand. It is no longer just a concept in your mind.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The future is only a thought form. Work with the present moment. Be with what is.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Life is an adventure, it's not a package tour.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Music bypasses the conceptual mind. Music does not give you food for thought.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
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.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When you go deeply into the present, gratitude arises spontaneously, even if it's just gratitude for breathing, gratitude for the aliveness that you feel in your body. Gratitude is there when you acknowledge the aliveness of the present moment.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Thought began to take over and obscured the simple yet profound joy of connectedness with being.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Being one with life is being one with Now. You then realize that you don't live your life, but life lives you. Life is the dancer, and you are the dance.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Stillness is the only thing in this world that has no form. But then, it is not really a thing, and it is not of this world.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Feel the energy of your inner body. Immediately mental noise slows down or ceases. Feel it in your hands, your feet, your abdomen, your chest. Feel the life that you are, the life that animates the body. The body then becomes a doorway, so to speak, into a deeper sense of aliveness underneath the fluctuating emotions and underneath your thinking.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
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
Image
Thinking is only a small aspect of consciousness. Thought cannot exist without consciousness, but consciousness does not need thought
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Prejudice of any kind implies that you are identified with the thinking mind. It means you don't see the other human being anymore, but only your own concept of that human being. To reduce the aliveness of another human being to a concept is already a form of violence.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Whatever you do in your business comes out of a state of inner alignment with life and the source of life itself, so peace flows into whatever you do.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Just as the sun is infinitely brighter than a candle flame, there is infinitely more intelligence in Being than in your mind
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Wisdom comes with the ability to be still. Just look and listen. No more is needed.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When you are suffering, when you are unhappy, stay totally with what is Now. Unhappiness or problems cannot survive in the Now.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
As long as we define ourselves in terms of our pain and our problems, we will never be free from them.
Eckhart Tolle
