More quotes by Eckhart Tolle
I call animals guardians of Being, especially animals that live with humans. Because, for many humans, it's through their contact with animals they get in touch with that level of being.
Eckhart Tolle
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
Evolution usually occurs in response to a crisis situation, and we now are faced with such a crisis situation. This is why there is indeed an enormous acceleration in the awakening process of our species.
Eckhart Tolle
Just as the sun is infinitely brighter than a candle flame, there is infinitely more intelligence in Being than in your mind
Eckhart Tolle
Acceptance means: For now, this is what this situation, this moment, requires me to do, and so I do it willingly.
Eckhart Tolle
To the ego, the present moment hardly exists. Only past and future are considered important.
Eckhart Tolle
Being an outsider to some extent, someone who does not fit in with others or is rejected by them for whatever reason, makes life difficult, but it also places you at an advantage as far as enlightenment is concerned. It takes you out of unconsciousness almost by force.
Eckhart Tolle
All problems are illusions of the mind.
Eckhart Tolle
You can't wait for the end of your problems for you to be present. It has to be done whereever you are - which is now
Eckhart Tolle
Reading is my passion and my escape since I was 5 years old. Overall, children don't realize the magic that can live inside their own heads. Better even then any movie.
Eckhart Tolle
To recognize one's own insanity is, of course, the arising of sanity, the beginning of healing and transcendence.
Eckhart Tolle
Then, if action is possible or necessary, you take action or rather right action happens through you. Right action is action that is appropriate to the whole. When the action is accomplished, the alert, spacious stillness remains.
Eckhart Tolle
Important thing to realize is the world is not here to make me happy. When you don't demand that the situation, or place, or person should make you happy, then actually the situation, place, or person is quite satisfying.
Eckhart Tolle
Attention is the key to transformation- and full attention also implies acceptance.
Eckhart Tolle
The basis for true change is freedom from negativity. And that's what acceptance implies: no negativity about what is. And then you see what this moment requires: what is it that is required now so that life can express itself more fully?
Eckhart Tolle
Forget about your life situation and pay attention to your life. Your life situation exists in time. Your life is now. Your life situation is mind-stuff. Your life is real. Instead of asking 'what do I want from life?,' a more powerful question is, 'what does life want from me?'
Eckhart Tolle
When you listen to a thought, you are aware not only of the thought but also of yourself as the witness of the thought. A new dimension of consciousness has come in.
Eckhart Tolle
Awareness is conscious connection with universal intelligence. Another word for it is Presence: consciousness without thought.
Eckhart Tolle
Work to recognize the primary importance of the present moment. A good little pointer toward that is to ask yourself, What is my relationship with the present moment? How am I relating to it?
Eckhart Tolle
Joy does not come from what you do, it flows into what you do and thus into this world from deep within you.
Eckhart Tolle
