Eckhart Tolle

Reality is a unified whole, but thought cuts it up into fragments.

Eckhart Tolle

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.

Eckhart Tolle

Some people awaken spiritually without ever coming into contact with any meditation technique or any spiritual teaching. They may awaken simply because they can’t stand the suffering anymore.

Eckhart Tolle

Some people get attached to their practice. They get good at it, but even becoming a good meditator can become a hindrance.

Eckhart Tolle

Sometimes it’s easier to see the madness in others – but we also have to see it in ourselves.

Eckhart Tolle

Stillness is where creativity and solutions to problems are found.

Eckhart Tolle

Stress is a form of suffering, but it is accepted as normal. And it is normal in our world.

Eckhart Tolle

Surrender is surrender to this moment, not to a story through which you interpret this moment and then try to resign yourself to it.

Eckhart Tolle

The actual experience of awakening can only be in the present moment.

Eckhart Tolle

The animals are at a level prior to thinking. They haven’t lost themselves in thought. We rise above thinking and then we meet them again, where we’re both in no-thought. There’s a deep connection.
