Eckhart Tolle

“Whenever there is some kind of deep loss in your life, there's a great chance for awakening.”

“What people don't realize is the joy of being.”

“Do not look for peace. Do not look for any other state than the one you are in now.”

“The collective ego is more unconscious than the individual ego.”

“Be aware that what you think, to a large extent, creates the emotions that you feel.”

“True salvation is freedom from negativity, and above all from past and future as a psychological need.”

“Some people awaken spiritually without ever coming into contact with any meditation technique or any spiritual teaching.”

“In stillness everything has its answer.”

“You attain to power through complete acceptance of powerlessness.”

“In doing without enjoyment of what you do, no Being flows into what you do.”

“The whole essence of Zen consists in walking along the razor's edge of Now.”

“To meet everyone and everything through stillness is to recognize the divine.”

“The brain does not create consciousness, but consciousness created the brain.”

“Don't seek happiness. If you seek it, you won't find it, because seeking is the antithesis of happiness.”

“Accept — then act. Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it.”

“Become as conscious as you can of being. Use your awareness to inhabit your body.”

“You don't need anyone or anything to be conscious. Consciousness is who you are.”

“Whatever you accept completely takes you to peace.”

“The egoic mind is completely conditioned by the past.”
