More quotes by Eckhart Tolle
You are not IN the universe, you ARE the universe.
Eckhart Tolle
In the stillness of your presence, you can feel your own formless and timeless reality as the unmanifested life that animates your physical form. You can then feel the same life deep within every other human and every other creature. You look beyond the veil of form and separation. This is the realization of oneness. This is love.
Eckhart Tolle
Whenever there is negativity in you, if you can be aware in that moment that there is something in you that takes pleasure in it or believes it has a useful purpose, you are becoming aware of the ego directly. The moment this happens your identity has shifted from ego to awareness. This means the ego is shrinking and awareness is growing.
Eckhart Tolle
For what you do to others, you do to yourself.
Eckhart Tolle
Transcending the world does not mean to withdraw from the world, to no longer take action, or to stop interacting with people. Transcendence of the world is to act and to interact without any self-seeking.
Eckhart Tolle
When you are aligned with the now internally, when you take responsibility for this moment, then life is helpful and tends to bring you what you need.
Eckhart Tolle
Non-reaction to the ego in others is one of the most effective ways not only of going beyond ego in yourself but also of dissolving the collective human ego.
Eckhart Tolle
The ego is not only the unobserved mind, the voice in the head which pretends to be you, but also the unobserved emotions that are the body's reaction to what the voice in the head is saying.
Eckhart Tolle
The more you are focused on time-past and future-the more you miss the Now, the most precious thing there is.
Eckhart Tolle
When this delusion of utter separateness underlies and governs whatever I think, say, and do, what kind of world do I create?
Eckhart Tolle
Once bliss becomes normal it's no longer bliss, it's just peace.
Eckhart Tolle
I was deeply identified with a very unhappy, egoic entity I believed was me. For years I lived in depression and continuous anxiety. One night I couldn't stand it anymore. The thought came into my mind, I cannot live with myself any longer.
Eckhart Tolle
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
Give yourself completely to the act of listening. Beyond the sounds there is something greater, a sacredness that cannot be understood through thought.
Eckhart Tolle
The way I feel is that there is a balance in my life between being alone and interacting with people, between Being and doing.
Eckhart Tolle
Only if you resist what happens are you at the mercy of what happens, and the world will determine your happiness and unhappiness
Eckhart Tolle
Whenever you meet anybody, it is a holy encounter. The primary event is the energy field of presence between you and the other human being that arises. You enjoy it. There is deep joy in the meeting.
Eckhart Tolle
Your true evolution is not what you do out there. That's secondary. Your true evolution is to do with the arising of awareness in you as you go about your life.
Eckhart Tolle
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
When the pain that the little me creates for itself becomes intense enough, the ego will self-destruct. It has a self-destruct mechanism built in, fortunately, so eventually every ego dies.
Eckhart Tolle
