Eckhart Tolle
Image
You are not separate from the whole. You are one with the sun, the earth, the air. You don’t have a life. You are life.
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
Accept the present moment and find the perfection that is deeper than any form and untouched by time.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Are you polluting the world or cleaning up the mess? You are responsible for your inner space nobody else is, just as you are responsible for the planet. As within, so without: If humans clear inner pollution, then they will also cease to create outer pollution.
Eckhart Tolle

The egoic madness, or dysfunction, becomes enormously amplified by the science and technology we all have developed.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Pick up any history book, and I suggest you begin with studying the 20th century, and you will find that a large part of the history of our species has all the characteristics we would normally associate with a nightmare or an insane hallucination.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The other person's presence ultimately is the same as your presence, because it is in presence that there is true meeting.
