Eckhart Tolle

As long as we define ourselves in terms of our pain and our problems, we will never be free from them.

Eckhart Tolle

A genuine relationship is one that is not dominated by the ego with its image-making and self-seeking.

Eckhart Tolle

A large part of many people’s lives is consumed by an obsessive preoccupation with things. This is why one of the ills of our times is object proliferation. When you can no longer feel the life that you are, you are likely to try to fill up your life with things.

Eckhart Tolle

A moment of danger can bring about a temporary cessation of the stream of thinking and thus give you a taste of what it means to be present, alert, aware.

Eckhart Tolle

A victim identity is the belief that the past is more powerful than the present, which is the opposite of the truth.

Eckhart Tolle

A work of art comes out of a state of deep stillness.

Eckhart Tolle

Above all, know that ego isn’t personal. It isn’t who you are. If you consider the ego to be your personal problem, that’s just more ego.

Eckhart Tolle

Above all, the only thing you have to heal is the present thought. Get that right and the whole picture will change into one of harmony and joy.

Eckhart Tolle

Accept – then act. Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it. Always work with it, not against it. Make it your friend and ally, not your enemy. This will miraculously transform your whole life.

Eckhart Tolle

All negativity is caused by an accumulation of psychological time and denial of the present.
