Eckert Tolle

You can be either a person or an aware presence. Aware presence is not bigger or smaller than. It has no comparism. It is just there…

To love is to recognize yourself in another.

Nothing ever happened in the past; it happened in the Now. Nothing will ever happen in the future; it will happen in the Now.

Awareness is the greatest agent for change.

We do not see things as they are; we see things as they are.

Suffering is necessary until you realize it is unnecessary.

Discontent, blaming, complaining, and self-pity cannot serve as a foundation for a good future, no matter how much effort you make.

Do not take life too seriously; you will never get out alive.

Ego is the unobserved mind, complete lack of awareness. – in other words there is only mind.

The secret of life is to “die before you die” – and find that there is no death.

Emotions reflect the activity of your mind. Thoughts create emotions and emotions create thoughts.

Power over others is weakness disguised as strength. True power is within, and it is available to you now.

Pain can only feed on pain. Pain cannot feed on joy. It finds it quite indigestible.

Make the NOW the primary focus of your life.

Meditation means being in thoughtless awareness in the present.
