Quote

The essence of every form is the deathless. Even the essence of a blade of grass is the deathless. And that's why the world of form is sacred.

Because we all carry the Truth within us as our essence, we recognize it immediately.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
One way to become aware many times during the day is to take a conscious breath. Doing so breaks the stream of thinking.
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
What could be more futile, more insane, than to create inner resistance to something that already is?
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Be aware of your breathing as often as you are able, whenever you remember. Do that for one year, and it will be powerfully transformative. And it's free.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
For most people, spiritual awakening is a gradual process. Rarely does it happen all at once. When it does, though, it is usually brought about by intense suffering.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Thinking is no more than a tiny aspect of the totality of consciousness, the totality of who you are.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
To become aware of the subtlety of nature you need to be alert. The moment you become alert you become still... thinking subsides. That is actually a higher state of consciousness than thinking.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Everything is as it is at any moment. There's no way of arguing, because you are arguing with reality - the isness of this moment. You can argue with it, but that's suffering.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Failures lies concealed in every success in every failure.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
To the ego, the present moment hardly exists. Only past and future are considered important.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Present-moment awareness creates a gap not only in the stream of mind but also in the past-future continuum. Nothing truly new and creative can come into this world except through that gap, that clear space of infinite possibility.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The outer form is a temporary reflection of what you are within, in your essence. That is why love and beauty can never leave you, although all outer forms will.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Whatever you think people are withholding from you-praise, appreciation, assistance, loving care, and so on-give it to them.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Going with the flow is for some people an excuse for not taking action and it refers usually to one's life situation.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Observe your thoughts, don't believe them.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
If I cannot live with myself, there must be two of me
Eckhart Tolle
Image
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
Image
The greater part of human pain is unnecessary. It is self-created as long as the unobserved mind runs your life.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
As far as inner transformation is concerned, there is nothing you can do about it. You cannot transform yourself, and you certainly cannot transform your partner or anybody else. All you can do is create a space for transformation to happen, for grace and love to enter.
