Eckhart Tolle Quotes

To complain is always nonacceptance of what is. It invariably carries an unconscious negative charge. When you complain, you make yourself into a victim. When you speak out, you are in your power. So change the situation by taking action or by speaking out if necessary or possible; leave the situation or accept it. All else is madness Picture Quote #1

The moment you put a mental label on another human being, you can no longer truly relate to that person. . . It then becomes possible to perpetrate any act of violence Picture Quote #1

You are not just a meaningless fragment in an alien universe, briefly suspended between life and death, allowed a few short-lived pleasures followed by pain and ultimate annihilation Picture Quote #1

Humanity as a whole has already gone through unimaginable suffering, mostly self-inflicted, the culmination of which was the 20th century with its unspeakable horrors. This collective suffering has brought upon a readiness in many human beings for the evolutionary leap that is spiritual awakening Picture Quote #1

I had been anxious and depressed for years and suddenly I was deeply at peace Picture Quote #1

Just as dogs love to chew bones, the mind loves to get its teeth into problems. That’s why it does crossword puzzles and builds atom bombs Picture Quote #1

If you are in a state of intense presence you are free of thought, yet highly alert. If your conscious attention sinks below a certain level, thought rushes in, the mental noise returns, stillness is lost, you’re back in time Picture Quote #1

Humans eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and bad. Suddenly, they start cutting reality up into bits and pieces, which is what the thinking mind does Picture Quote #1

To be a seeker implies that you need the future. If this is what you believe, it becomes true for you: you will need time until you realize that you don’t need time to be who you are Picture Quote #1

Death is a stripping away of all that is not you. The secret of life is to die before you die --- and find that there is no death Picture Quote #1

Awareness takes over from thinking. Instead of being in charge of your life, thinking becomes the servant of awareness Picture Quote #1

Prejudice of any kind implies that you are identified with the thinking mind. It means you don’t see the other human being anymore, but only your own concept of that human being. To reduce the aliveness of another human being to a concept is already a form of violence Picture Quote #1

We are destined not to go back to the level of animals that we’ve come from but to return to being by going beyond thinking Picture Quote #1

When you wash your hands, when you make a cup of coffee, when you’re waiting for the elevator - instead of indulging in thinking, these are all opportunities for being there as a still, alert presence Picture Quote #1

You can’t think about presence, and the mind can’t understand it. Understanding presence is being present Picture Quote #1

I don’t believe in an outside agent that creates the world, then walks away. But I feel very strongly there is an intelligence at work in every flower, in every blade of grass, in every cell of my body. And it is that intelligence that, I wouldn’t say created the universe. It is creating the universe. It’s an ongoing process Picture Quote #1

Whatever you accept completely, you go beyond. If you fight it, you’re stuck with it Picture Quote #1

When the ego dominates in organizations, even spiritual organizations, there is usually a big drama or upheaval of some kind, and self-destruction begins Picture Quote #1

Thinking fragments reality - it cuts it up into conceptual bits and pieces Picture Quote #1

Feeling will get you closer to the truth of who you are than thinking. I cannot tell you anything that deep within you don’t already know. When you have reached a certain stage of inner connectedness, you recognize the truth when you hear it. If you haven’t reached that stage yet, the practice of body awareness will bring about the deepening that is necessary Picture Quote #1

I sometimes ask people, ‘Can you be aware of your own presence? Not the thoughts that you’re having, not the emotions that you’re having, but the very presence of your very being?’ You become aware of your own presence by sensing the entire energy field in your body that is alive. And that is the totality of your presence Picture Quote #1

Whatever you do, whatever you’re working with, whether it’s manual work or talking to people or buying or selling, every little thing encompasses the power and simplicity of presence Picture Quote #1

The dog is still in the natural state. And you can easily see that, because you have problems and your dog doesn’t. And while your happy moments may be rare, your dog celebrates life continuously Picture Quote #1

If I find here and Now unacceptable, I have three choices: 1-Totally accept it. 2- Change it. 3-Remove myself from the situation. That is taking responsibility for my life Picture Quote #1

Your inner purpose is an essential part of the purpose of the whole, the universe and its emerging intelligence. Your outer purpose can change over time. It varies greatly from person to person. Finding and living in alignment with the inner purpose is the foundation for fulfilling your outer purpose. It is the basis for true success Picture Quote #1

If there isn’t an emanation of love and joy, complete presence and openness toward all beings, then it is not enlightenment Picture Quote #1

A self - a me - exists in every thought and every emotion. Suffering arises through complete identification with thinking and emotions Picture Quote #1

Until presence becomes your predominant state, you may find yourself moving back and forth for a while between the old consciousness and the new, between mind identification and presence Picture Quote #1

Some people awaken spiritually without ever coming into contact with any meditation technique or any spiritual teaching. They may awaken simply because they can’t stand the suffering anymore Picture Quote #1
