Why is old considered useless...

Why is old considered useless? Because in old age, the emphasis shifts from doing to Being, and our civilization, which is lost in doing, knows nothing of Being. It asks: Being? What do you do with it?

Eckhart Tolle 1106 quotes

Sustained enthusiasm brings i...

Sustained enthusiasm brings into existence a wave of creative energy, and all you have to do is 'ride the wave'.

Eckhart Tolle 1106 quotes

The next step in human evolut...

The next step in human evolution is to transcend thought. This is now our urgent task. It doesn't mean not to think anymore, but simply not to be completely identified with thought, possessed by thought.

Eckhart Tolle 1106 quotes

Every spiritual teaching poin...

Every spiritual teaching points to the possibility of the end of suffering - Now. It is true that most teachers have had to go through the "Dark Night of the Soul," although for one or two it was very, very quick.

Eckhart Tolle 1106 quotes

And since the now is all ther...

And since the now is all there ever is in your life, your entire life unfolds as the present moment. People don't realize it, but all they ever have is "this". This moment.

Eckhart Tolle 1106 quotes

Space and silence are two asp...

Space and silence are two aspects of the same thing. The same no-thing. They are externalization of inner space and inner silence, which is stillness: the infinitely creative womb of all existence.

Eckhart Tolle 1106 quotes

In either case, ugly or beaut...

In either case, ugly or beautiful, people derive a significant part of their identity, be it negative or positive, from their body. To be more precise, they derive their identity from the I-thought that they erroneously attach to the mental image or concept of their body. Equating the physical sense-perceived body that is destined to grow old, wither and die with 'I' always leads to suffering sooner or later.

Eckhart Tolle 1106 quotes

Spiritual awakening - is becoming awake to the aliveness of this moment.

Eckhart Tolle 1106 quotes

Some form of suffering often ...

Some form of suffering often brings about a readiness. One can say it cracks open the shell of the egoic mind with which many people identify as "me." Life cracks open that shell, and once that crack is there, then we are reached more easily by spiritual teaching.

Eckhart Tolle 1106 quotes

Once you realize that a certain kind of food makes you sick, would you carry on eating that food and keep on asserting that it's okay to be sick?

Eckhart Tolle 1106 quotes

The mind left to itself creat...

The mind left to itself creates monstrosities, and not only in art galleries. Look at our urban landscapes and industrial wastelands. No civilization has ever produced so much ugliness.

Eckhart Tolle 1106 quotes

In the face of death, especia...

In the face of death, especially violent death, things don't make sense anymore. So death is the dissolution of either physical form or psychological form. And when a form dissolves, always something shines through that had been obscured by the form. This is the formless One Life, the formless One Consciousness.

Eckhart Tolle 1106 quotes

As soon as the mind and mind ...

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.

Eckhart Tolle 1106 quotes

The light is too painful for someone who wants to remain in darkness.

Eckhart Tolle 1106 quotes

When you are in touch with th...

When you are in touch with that dimension within yourself-and being in touch with it is your natural state, all your actions and relationships will reflect the oneness with all life that you sense deep within. This is love. Laws, commandments, rules and regulations are necessary for those who are cut off from who they are, the Truth within.

Eckhart Tolle 1106 quotes

Look around the room a few ti...

Look around the room a few times a day as if you had just been born into that room.

Eckhart Tolle 1106 quotes

Because we all carry the Trut...

Because we all carry the Truth within us as our essence, we recognize it immediately.

Eckhart Tolle 1106 quotes

I've always enjoyed being in ...

I've always enjoyed being in the background, sitting in a cafe, watching people. But now, when I sit in a cafe, sometimes people watch me. It's a challenge. But it's usually people who want to say 'your book transformed my life', or something... so then I'm joyful. One moment before, I didn't want them to recognise me, but when they do, I'm glad.

Eckhart Tolle 1106 quotes

Oprah [Winfrey] and I share a similar consciousness of spirit that is manifested in what some may call God or simply Spirit but others call it the Godhead manifestation of karmic virtue.

Eckhart Tolle 1106 quotes

That is the challenge of a sp...

That is the challenge of a spiritual teacher: not to take on board the projections of specialness people have. This is especially dangerous for spiritual teachers who only have contact with disciples or followers, who may live in an ashram.
