One only needs to read twentieth-century history to see that it has been the climax of human madness, if it's measured in terms of human violence inflicted on other humans.

The pas has no power to stop you from being present now. Only your grievance about the past can do that.

Life is now. There was never a time when your life was not now, nor will there ever be.

Life, Time, Live In The Moment

Eckhart Tolle (2010). “The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment”, p.49, New World Library

Knowing yourself as the awareness behind the voice is freedom.

Freedom, Voice, Knowing

Eckhart Tolle (2010). “Stillness Speaks”, p.29, New World Library

A culture that denies death inevitably becomes shallow and superficial, concerned only with the external form of things. When death is denied, life loses its depth.

Depth, Culture, Superficial

Eckhart Tolle (2010). “Stillness Speaks”, p.106, New World Library

It takes practice to hear your true desires. Your passion will often come as a whisper or serendipitous event that reminds you of what's important and what makes you happy.

Motivational, Passion, Practice

The more shared past there is in a relationship, the more present you need to be.

Past, Needs

Eckhart Tolle (2006). “A New Earth (Oprah #61): Awakening to Your Life's Purpose”, p.72, Penguin

Inspirational, Spiritual, Creative

To experience anything fully and see it clearly there must be a moment of presence where conceptual thinking is not interfering with your experience of that moment.

Thinking, Moments, That Moment

The Truth is far more all-encompassing than the mind could ever comprehend. No thought can encapsulate the Truth. At best, it can point to it. For example, it can say: "All things are intrinsically one (The Pearl of Great Price)." That is a pointer, not an explanation. Understanding these words means feeling deep within you the truth to which they point.

Truth, Mean, Understanding

A simple but radical spiritual practice is to accept whatever arises in the Now, within and without.

Spiritual, Simple, Practice

Eckhart Tolle (2010). “Stillness Speaks”, p.43, New World Library

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.

People, Energy, Disease

Eckhart Tolle (2010). “The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment”, p.18, New World Library

The unchecked striving for more, for endless growth, is a dysfunction and a disease. It is the same dysfunction the cancerous cell manifests, whose only goal is to multiply itself, unaware that it is bringing about its own destruction by destroying the organism of which it is a part.

Cells, Dysfunction, Goal

Eckhart Tolle (2006). “A New Earth (Oprah #61): Awakening to Your Life's Purpose”, p.36, Penguin

Please open your eyes now, but keep attention in the inner energy field of the body as you look around the room. The inner body lies at the threshold between your form identity and your essence identity, your true nature. Never lose touch with it.

Lying, Eye, Essence

Eckhart Tolle (2010). “The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment”, p.113, New World Library

To offer no resistance to life is to be in a state of grace, ease, and lightness. This state is then no longer dependent upon things being in a certain way, good or bad. It seems almost paradoxical, yet when your inner dependency on form is gone, the general conditions of your life, the outer forms, tend to improve greatly.

Spiritual, Grace, Gone

Eckhart Tolle (2010). “The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment”, p.188, New World Library

The eternal present is the space within which your whole life unfolds, the one factor that remains constant. Life is now. There was never a time when your life was not now, nor will there ever be.

Space, Consciousness, Life Is

Eckhart Tolle (2010). “The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment”, p.49, New World Library

Many expressions that are in common usage, and sometimes the structure of language itself, reveal the fact that people don't know who they are. You say: "He lost his life" or "my life," as if life were something that you can possess or lose. The truth is: you don't have a life, you are life. The One Life, the one consciousness that pervades the entire universe and takes temporary form to experience itself as a stone or blade of grass, as an animal, a person, a star or a galaxy. Can you sense deep within that you already know that? Can you sense that you already are That?

Stars, Animal, Expression

Eckhart Tolle (2010). “Stillness Speaks”, p.53, New World Library

You may not yet be able to bring your unconscious mind activity into awareness as thoughts, but it will always be reflected in the body as an emotion, and of this you can become aware.

Unconscious Thoughts, Mind, Able

Eckhart Tolle (2001). “Practicing the Power of Now: Essential Teachings, Meditations, and Exercises from the Power of Now”, p.25, New World Library

Don't seek happiness. If you seek it, you won't find it, because seeking is the antithesis of happiness. Happiness is ever elusive, but freedom from unhappiness is attainable now, by facing what is rather than making up stories about it.

Happiness, Stories, Antithesis

Eckhart Tolle (2008). “Oneness With All Life: Inspirational Selections from A New Earth”, p.12, Penguin

When you are present, you can allow the mind to be as it is without getting entangled in it.

Dysfunction, Mind, Power Of Now

Eckhart Tolle (2010). “The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment”, p.48, New World Library

Your outer journey may contain a million steps; your inner journey only has one: the step you are taking right now.

Spiritual, Journey, May

Eckhart Tolle (2010). “The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment”, p.88, New World Library

Wisdom comes with the ability to be still. Just look and just listen. No more is needed. Being still, looking, and listening activates the non-conceptual intelligence within you. Let stillness direct your words and actions.

Listening, Looks, Action

Eckhart Tolle (2003). “Stillness Speaks”, p.9, New World Library

Creativity arises out of the state of thoughtless presence in which you are much more awake than when you are engrossed in thinking.

Creativity, Thinking, States

Thinking is a wonderful tool if it's applied. Thinking, however, can not become the master. Thinking is a very bad master. If you're dominated by thinking then your life becomes very restricted.

"Sunday Profile: Eckhart Tolle". Interview with Dan Harris, abcnews.go.com. February 15, 2009.

Internal and external are ultimately one. When you no longer perceive the world as hostile, there is no more fear, and when there is no more fear, you think, speak and act differently. Love and compassion arise, and they affect the world.

Love, Spiritual, Fear
