Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it.

Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it.

Life, Live In The Moment, Mindfulness

Eckhart Tolle (2010). “The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment”, p.35, New World Library

If spacious stillness is missing, the relationship will be dominated by the mind and can easily be taken over by problems and conflict. If stillness is there, it can contain anything.

The stream of thinking has enormous momentum that can easily drag you along with it. Every thought pretends that it matters so much.

Philosophical, Thinking, Momentum

Eckhart Tolle (2010). “Stillness Speaks”, p.14, New World Library

Wisdom comes with the ability to be still. Just look and listen. No more is needed.

Looks, Ability, Needed

Once you have identified with some form of negativity, you do not want to let it go, and on a deeply unconscious level, you do not want positive change. It would threaten your identity as a depressed, angry or hard-done by person. You will then ignore, deny or sabotage the positive in your life. This is a common phenomenon. It is also insane.

Negativity, Insane, Let It Go

Eckhart Tolle (2010). “The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment”, p.189, New World Library

It is when we are trapped in incessant streams of compulsive thinking that the universe really disintegrates for us, and we lose the ability to sense the interconnectedness of all that exists.

Spiritual, Thinking, Incessant

Eckhart Tolle (2006). “A New Earth (Oprah #61): Awakening to Your Life's Purpose”, p.168, Penguin

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

Thinking, Awareness, New Earth

Eckhart Tolle (2006). “A New Earth (Oprah #61): Awakening to Your Life's Purpose”, p.159, Penguin

Even if you achieve your outer purpose, it will never satisfy you if you haven't found your inner purpose, which is awakening, being present, being in alignment with life. True power comes out of the presence; it is the presence.

True Power, True Life, Purpose

"The Awakening of Eckhart Tolle". Interview with Nev Pierce, www.eckharttolle.com.

You cannot fight against the ego and win, just as you cannot fight against darkness. The light of consciousness is all that is necessary. You are that light.

Fighting, Winning, Light

Eckhart Tolle (2006). “A New Earth (Oprah #61): Awakening to Your Life's Purpose”, p.22, Penguin

People can't live with themselves much longer. The planet cannot live with humans much longer! We have the weaponry, destruction of the planet, pollution, destruction of forests, countless manifestations of humans using their intelligence in the service of the dysfunction, the madness. It's a strange juxtaposition. Humans are intelligent, but if you look at history or even watch TV, they're also incredibly stupid.

Do you really need to mentally label every sense perception and experience? Do you really need to have a reactive like/dislike relationship with life where you are in almost continuous conflict with situations and people? Or is that just a deep-seated mental habit that can be broken? Not by doing anything, but by allowing this moment to be as it is.

People, Broken, Perception

Eckhart Tolle (2010). “Stillness Speaks”, p.64, New World Library

Those who have not found their true wealth, which is the radiant joy of Being and the deep, unshakable peace that comes with it, are beggars, even if they have great material wealth. They are looking outside for scraps of pleasure or fulfillment, for validation, security, or love, while they have a treasure within that not only includes all those things but is infinitely greater than anything the world can offer.

Love, Happiness, Spiritual

Eckhart Tolle (2010). “The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment”, p.12, New World Library

In the unawakened state you don't use thought, but thought uses you. You are, one could almost say, possessed by thought, which is the collective conditioning of the human mind that goes back many thousands of years. You don't see anything as it is, but distorted and reduced by mental labels, concepts, judgments, opinions and reactive patterns.

What is commonly called 'falling in love' is in most cases an intensification of egoic wanting and needing. You become addicted to another person, or rather to your image of that person. It has nothing to do with true love, which contains no wanting whatsoever.

Falling In Love, Love Is, Cases

Eckhart Tolle (2006). “A New Earth (Oprah #61): Awakening to Your Life's Purpose”, p.66, Penguin

If uncertainty is unacceptable to you, it turns into fear. If it is perfectly acceptable, it turns into increased aliveness, alertness, and creativity.

Creativity, Alertness, Turns

Eckhart Tolle (2006). “A New Earth (Oprah #61): Awakening to Your Life's Purpose”, p.167, Penguin

The key is to be in a state of permanent connectedness with your inner body - to feel it at all times. This will rapidly deepen and transform your life. The more consciousness you direct into the inner body, the higher its vibrational frequency becomes.

As soon as you honor the present moment, all unhappiness and struggle dissolve.

Struggle, Honor, Moments

Eckhart Tolle (2010). “The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment”, p.68, New World Library

Ask yourself what problem you have right now. Not next year, tomorrow or five minutes from now. You can always cope with the now, but you can never cope with the future. Nor do you have to. The answer, the strength and the right action will be there when you need it. Not before or after.
