Quote

To love is to recognize yourself in another. The others otherness then stands revealed as an illusion pertaining to the purely human realm, the realm of form.

To recognize one's own insanity is, of course, the arising of sanity, the beginning of healing and transcendence.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
I don't believe in an outside agent that creates the world, then walks away. But I feel very strongly there is an intelligence at work in every flower, in every blade of grass, in every cell of my body. And it is that intelligence that, I wouldn't say created the universe. It is creating the universe. It's an ongoing process.

Things and conditions can give you pleasure but they cannot give you joy- joy arises from within.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When I'm with people, I'm a spiritual teacher. That's the function, but it's not my identity. The moment I'm alone, my deepest joy is to benobody, to relinquish the function of a teacher. It's a temporary function.

The power for creating a better future is contained in the present moment: You create a good future by creating a good present.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The power is in you. The answer is in you. And you are the answer to all your searches: you are the goal. You are the answer. It's never outside.

Image
I sometimes say to people, I am a window frame - no more. The window frame is not that important. What is important is the light that comes through the window.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
It is when we are trapped in incessant streams of compulsive thinking that the universe really disintegrates for us, and we lose the ability to sense the interconnectedness of all that exists.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Stressful energy arises when you think some future moment is more important than the present moment, and the doing becomes only a means to an end.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Ask yourself what problem you have right now. Not next year, tomorrow or five minutes from now. You can always cope with the now, but you can never cope with the future. Nor do you have to. The answer, the strength and the right action will be there when you need it. Not before or after.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
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
Image
The moment you put a mental label on another human being, you can no longer truly relate to that person. . . It then becomes possible to perpetrate any act of violence.

Consciousness is a vast ocean and thinking is the waves & ripples on the surface of the ocean.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
A belief may be comforting. Only through your own experience, however, does it become liberating.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
If the individuals who make up a group have personal egos, and their identities lie in these egos, then their egoic identities will shift to the group. It might look as if they are losing their personal egos, but the ego simply shifts to the group.

Image
The whole world changes when there's presence - sunlight everywhere - because you're not separate from the world.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
A huge number of people are going through the process of awakening, some in the early stages, some in later stages, and it's wonderful to see.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When you are not making the present moment into a means to an end, you also are not making every human being you meet - in your business and even at home, in your family - into a means to an end.
