Quote

I have spoken to many people who have begun to live in presence, and they find many changes come into their lives. Sometimes these changes happen as inner realizations - This is what I have to do - or they arise from the external when something suddenly happens.

Thinking is no more than a tiny aspect of the totality of consciousness, the totality of who you are.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Your unhappiness ultimately arises not from the circumstances of your life but from the conditioning of your mind.
Eckhart Tolle

Strictly speaking, you don't think: Thinking happens to you.
Eckhart Tolle

The reason why some people love to engage in dangerous activities, such as mountain climbing, car racing, and so on, although they may not be aware of it, is that it forces them into the Now - that intensely alive state that is free of time, free of problems, free of thinking, free of the burden of the personality.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
As soon as you honor the present moment, all unhappiness and struggle dissolve, and life begins to flow with joy and ease. When you act out the present-moment awareness, whatever you do becomes imbued with a sense of quality, care, and love - even the most simple action.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Awareness and ego cannot coexist.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
If there are people you haven't forgiven, you're not going to really awaken. You have to let go.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Observe your thoughts, don't believe them.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The place that I love most is the stillness. It's not that the stillness is lost when I talk or when I teach because the words arise out of the stillness. But when people leave me, there is only the stillness left. And I love that so much.
Eckhart Tolle
