Whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

Whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

Faith, Prayer, Believe

Focus attention on the feeling inside you. Know that it is the pain-body. Accept that it is there. Don't think about it - don't let the feeling turn into thinking. Don't judge or analyze. Don't make an identity for yourself out of it. Stay present, and continue to be the observer of what is happening inside you. Become aware not only of the emotional pain but also of "the one who observes," the silent watcher. This is the power of the Now, the power of your own conscious presence. Then see what happens.

Pain, Emotional, Thinking

Eckhart Tolle (2001). “Practicing the Power of Now: Essential Teachings, Meditations, and Exercises from the Power of Now”, p.81, New World Library

This is why very often you find educated people in the media who look at spiritual books but they are so identified with their thought process, they don't get it. They write reviews or articles and they miss the whole point. They can't see the essence. It's not their fault; it's not them personally. It's the human condition and its mind-identified state. And intelligence in itself doesn't help. You can have two or three Ph.D.s; it doesn't get you any closer to spiritual realization. In fact, you might be more distant.

As soon as the mind and mind identification return; you're no longer yourself but a mental image of yourself, and you start playing games and roles again to get your ego needs met.

Terrorism is an example of that extreme madness. People blow themselves up just to kill others. Unconscious reaction to terrorism is equal madness.

You create a good future by creating a good present. How do you do that? By recognizing the goodness that is already inherent in the present moment, even in the midst of challenges. Discontent, blaming, complaining, self-pity cannot serve as a foundation for a good future, no matter how much effort you make.

Resistance is weakness and fear masquerading as strength. What the ego sees as weakness is your Being in its purity, innocence, and power. What it sees as strength is weakness.

Ego, Weakness, Resistance

Eckhart Tolle (2001). “Practicing the Power of Now: Essential Teachings, Meditations, and Exercises from the Power of Now”, p.127, New World Library

You must have failed deeply on some level or experienced some deep loss or pain to be drawn to the spiritual dimension. Or perhaps your very success became empty and meaningless and so turned out to be a failure.

If there isn't an emanation of love and joy, complete presence and openness toward all beings, then it is not enlightenment.

That is the real spiritual awakening, when something emerges from within you that is deeper than who you thought you were. So, the person is still there, but one could almost say that something more powerful shines through the person.

Spiritual, Powerful, Real

Through being "right", you feel superior and through feeling superior you strengthen your sense of self. In reality, of course, you are only strengthening the illusion of ego.

Reality, Self, Ego

Eckhart Tolle (2010). “Stillness Speaks”, p.32, New World Library

"Getting away from it all," many people want that, and of course ultimately the only way to get away from it all is to go within, now.

FaceBook post by Eckhart Tolle from Jul 14, 2011

Reading is my passion and my escape since I was 5 years old. Overall, children don't realize the magic that can live inside their own heads. Better even then any movie.

Spiritual, Children, Reading

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

Eckhart Tolle (2010). “The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment”, p.4, New World Library

Failures lies concealed in every success in every failure.

Lying, Concealed

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.

Believe, Be Who You Are, Needs

Eckhart Tolle (2010). “Stillness Speaks”, p.54, New World Library

Eckhart Tolle (2010). “The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment”, p.46, New World Library

Throughout history humans have inflicted countless violent, cruel, and hurtful acts on each other, and continue to do so. Are they all to be condemned; are they all guilty? Or are those acts simply expressions of unconsciousness, an evolutionary stage that we are now growing out of? Jesus’ words, “Forgive them for they do not know what they do,” also apply to yourself.

Jesus, Expression, Forgiving

Surrender is the inner transition from resistance to acceptance, from no to yes.

Acceptance, Transition, Resistance

Eckhart Tolle (2010). “Stillness Speaks”, p.72, New World Library

Some people are called upon to do great things externally in this world by creating some new structure that reflects their awakening consciousness. Other people are not called to go out into the world and create great big things externally. Their purpose is to let consciousness flow into whatever they do - to do everything in a sacred manner.
