Eckhart Tolle

“Awakening is a shift in consciousness in which thinking and awareness separate.”

“In every life experience, attempt to find the deeper level of which the experience is a reflection.”

“The world will give you the opportunity to experience presence — through difficulty, through challenge.”

“To meet everything and everyone through stillness instead of mental noise is the greatest gift you can offer.”

“Anything that you resent and strongly react to in another is also in you.”

“Whenever you are in a 'difficult situation,' the response of the awakened being is presence.”

“Equate yourself with neither emotion nor reaction.”

“Realize that the situation IS — and accept it.”

“Most of what people refer to as their 'life' is actually their life situation, not their life.”

“Your life situation exists in time. Your life is now.”

“You can think about the past or future. But the past or future do not exist.”

“Time isn't precious at all, because it is an illusion. What you perceive as precious is the Now.”

“True love is found in the realm of being, not in any particular form.”

“You are the universe expressing itself as a human for a little while.”

“Negativity is totally unnatural. It is a psychic pollutant.”

“Whenever you are unhappy, there is a deep hidden belief that the present moment is not as it should be.”

“You attain to the present moment by accepting it.”

“All problems are illusions of the mind.”

“Boredom, anger, sadness, or fear are not 'yours,' not personal. They are conditions of the human mind.”
