The formless dimension of life is this moment. This moment is timeless and formless - the eternal itself.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Many people live with a tormentor in their head that continuously attacks and punishes them and drains them of vital energy. It is the cause of untold misery and unhappiness, as well as of disease.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Your primary purpose is to be here fully, and to be total in whatever you do so that the preciousness of the present moment does not become reduced to a means to an end. And there you have your life purpose. That's the very foundation of your life.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
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.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Oprah [Winfrey] and I share a similar consciousness of spirit that is manifested in what some may call God or simply Spirit but others call it the Godhead manifestation of karmic virtue.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
God is not a personality outside of you. What God is, is inextricably part of what you are. God is the dimension of depth within you.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
If the price of peace were a lowering of your consciousness, and the price of stillness a lack of vitality and alertness, then they would not be worth having.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Everything is shown up by being exposed to the light, and whatever is exposed to the light itself becomes light.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The goal has its importance. But the doing is what is truly fulfilling. Every enthusiastic person has a goal that may be important, but the doing is intensely fulfilling, and it is the essence of enthusiasm.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Christ is your God-essence or the Self, as it is sometimes called in the East. The only difference between Christ and presence is that Christ refers to your indwelling divinity regardless of whether you are conscious of it or not, whereas presence means your awakened divinity or God-essence.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When your sense of self is no longer tied to thought, is no longer conceptual, there is a depth of feeling, of sensing, of compassion, of loving, that was not there when you were trapped in mental concepts. You are that depth.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
So one could say that the only real problem is dysfunctional thinking, the rest are challenges, not problems.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The more you are focused on time-past and future-the more you miss the Now, the most precious thing there is.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Sense your presence, the naked, unveiled, unclothed beingness. It is untouched by young or old, rich or poor, good or bad, or any other attributes.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
It's harder for me, never having brought up a child, to enter the universe of the child.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Once bliss becomes normal it's no longer bliss, it's just peace.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Gratefulness for what is there is one of the most powerful tools for creating what is not yet there. What does gratefulness mean? It means you appreciate what is. You value, you give attention to, you honor whatever is here at this moment.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Being is central, and Being is now. The fulfillment of your life is not going to happen through anything. The outer activities in your life are secondary. What is Primary is Being.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Always work with the present moment, not against it. Make it your friend and ally, not your enemy. This will miraculously transform your whole life.
