Eckhart Tolle Quotations | Page 4

Look around the room a few times a day as if you had just been born into that room.

Are you stressed? Are you so busy getting to the future that the present is reduced to a means of getting there? Stress is caused by being "here" but wanting to be "there" or being in the present but wanting to be in the future. It's a split that tears you apart inside. To create and live with such an inner split is insane. The fact that everybody else is doing it doesn't make it any less insane.

Not what you do, but how you do what you do determines whether you are fulfilling your destiny. And how you do what you do is determined by your state of consciousness.

Nothing has inflicted more suffering on humanity than its dogmas. It is true that every dogma crumbles sooner or later, because reality will eventually disclose its falseness; however, unless the basic delusion of it is seen for what it is, it will be replaced by others.

Die before you die and find that there is no death.

Whatever you accept completely, you go beyond. If you fight it, you're stuck with it.

Everything is honoured, but nothing matters.

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

I know that at the core of each religion there is the truth, heavily obscured in some cases, but it's there.

And since the now is all there ever is in your life, your entire life unfolds as the present moment. People don't realize it, but all they ever have is "this". This moment.
