The only thing you ever have is now.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The formless dimension of life is this moment. This moment is timeless and formless - the eternal itself.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Some of the first human beings in whom the new consciousness emerged fully became the great teachers of humanity, such as Buddha, Lao Tzu, or Jesus, although their teachings were greatly misunderstood, especially when they turned into organized religion. They were the first manifestations of the flowering of human consciousness.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Strictly speaking, you don't think: Thinking happens to you.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The pollution of the planet is only an outward reflection of an inner psychic pollution: millions of unconscious individuals not taking responsibility for their inner space.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Being spiritual has nothing to do with what you believe and everything to do with your state of consciousness.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Awareness and ego cannot coexist.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When you live in complete acceptance of what is, that is the end of all drama in your life.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
What I know for sure is that I am a temporary expression in physical form of the one consciousness that expresses itself throughout the universe. I am not separate from that.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Awareness is conscious connection with universal intelligence. Another word for it is Presence: consciousness without thought.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Instead of fighting the darkness, you bring in the light.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Thinking, or more precisely identification with thinking, gives rise to and maintains the ego, which, in our Western society in particular, is out of control. It believes it is real and tries hard to maintain its supremacy. Negative states of mind, such as anger, resentment, fear, envy, and jealousy, are products of the ego.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You cannot fight against the ego and win, just as you cannot fight against darkness. The light of consciousness is all that is necessary. You are that light.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
If you find here & now intolerable, you have options: remove yourself from the situation, change it, or accept it totally.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Instead of being lost in your thinking, when you awaken you recognize yourself as the awareness behind it. Thinking then ceases to be a self-serving autonomous activity that takes possession of you and runs your life.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Everything flows with much greater ease when people live as one with the present moment.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Even within the seemingly most unacceptable and painful situation is concealed a deeper good, and within every disaster is contained the seed of grace.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
I don't pray for anything, but I have used affirmations in the past a few times. They are really a bit more like realizations in that on some level they have already happened.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
To listen to the silence, wherever you are, is an easy and direct way of becoming present. Even if there is noise, there is always some silence underneath and in between the sounds. Listening to the silence immediately creates stillness inside you.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
A belief may be comforting. Only through your own experience, however, does it become liberating.
