Quote

Whatever you want to achieve is secondary: the business, the exchange of information, whatever it may be. Yes, you do that also, but there is a deeper foundation - meeting that human being in a state of shared presence.

Every challenge is a disguised opportunity for salvation.
Eckhart Tolle

Can you feel that there is something in you that is at war, something that feels threatened and wants to survive at all cost, that needs the drama in order to assert its identity as the victorious character within that theatrical production? Can you feel there is something in you that would rather be right than at peace?

The joy of Being, which is the only true happiness, cannot come to you through any form, possession, achievement, person, or event - through anything that happens. That joy cannot come to you - ever. It emanates from the formless dimension within you, from consciousness itself and thus is one with who you are.

It's interesting that stepping out of thought was actually triggered by a thought.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Music bypasses the conceptual mind. Music does not give you food for thought.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
All it takes is a simple choice, a simple decision: no matter what happens, I will create no more pain for myself. I will create no more problems.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Peace can be threatening because peace is the absence of problems and conflict. There is something, perhaps in the personal you, that does not want freedom or peace, or the absence of problems. There's something that wants the opposite.
Eckhart Tolle

If I cannot live with myself, there must be two of me
Eckhart Tolle

Some changes look negative on the surface but you will soon realize that space is being created in your life for something new to emerge.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Any action that arises out of stress is of low quality, and it contributes to human suffering. You are making yourself and others suffer.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You find peace not by rearranging the circumstances of your life, but by realizing who you are at the deepest level.
