The primary purpose of life is in being in the NOW.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Attention is the key to transformation- and full attention also implies acceptance.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Suffering has a noble purpose: the evolution of consciousness and the burning up of the ego.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
If you are in the habit of creating suffering for yourself, then you are probably creating suffering for others too
Eckhart Tolle
Image
If you are not taking responsibility for your state of consciousness, you are not taking responsibility for life.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Please open your eyes now, but keep attention in the inner energy field of the body as you look around the room. The inner body lies at the threshold between your form identity and your essence identity, your true nature. Never lose touch with it.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
In any relationship, especially marriage, be as free of compulsive thinking as possible. In other words, the more space there is in the relationship - inner space - the more love there is because love arises out of the inner spaciousness.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Nothing that was real ever died, only names, forms, and illusions.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Joy is uncaused and arises from within as the joy of Being. It is an essential part of the inner state of peace, the state that has been called the peace of God. It is your natural state, not something that you need to work hard for or struggle to attain.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
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
Image
When you are present, when your attention is fully and intensely in the Now, Being can be felt, but it can never be understood mentally.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
To offer no resistance to life is to be in a state of grace, ease, and lightness.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
We are in the final stages of egoic madness. Almost the whole world is fighting each other.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You are awareness, disguised as a person.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When you are fully present with everyone you meet, you relinquish the conceptual identity you made for them - your interpretation of who they are and what they did in the past - and are able to interact without the egoic movements of desire and fear. Attention, which is alert stillness, is the key.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
At the height of creative activity fueled by enthusiasm, there will be enormous intensity and energy behind what you do. You will feel like an arrow that is moving toward the target-and enjoying the journey.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
To love is to recognize yourself in another.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Consciousness is a vast ocean and thinking is the waves & ripples on the surface of the ocean.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Not to be able to stop thinking is a dreadful affliction, but we don't realize this because almost everyone is suffering from it, so it is considered normal. This incessant mental noise prevents you from finding that realm of inner stillness that is inseparable from Being.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
If you have a strong ego [and] something good happens to an acquaintance of yours, [it] makes you feel bad. It's called envy. ... The ego thinks something has been taken away from you because somebody else has received something good. It's a complete illusion, but that's the madness of the ego.
