You are not a problem that needs solving. Eckhart Tolle More Quotes by Eckhart Tolle More Quotes From Eckhart Tolle The present moment holds the key to liberation. But you cannot find the present moment as long as you are your mind. Eckhart Tolle keysmindlong If you are not in the state of either acceptance, enjoyment, or enthusiasm, look closely and you will find that you are creating suffering for yourself and others. Eckhart Tolle creatingacceptancesuffering Remember that your perception of the world is a reflection of your state of consciousness.

Eckhart Tolle power-of-nowawarenessspiritual Boredom, anger, sadness, or fear are not 'yours,' not personal. They are conditions of the human mind. They come and go. Nothing that comes and goes is you. Eckhart Tolle feeling-sadboredomsadness The mind, conditioned as it is by the past, always seeks to re-create what it knows and is familiar with. Even if it is painful, at least it is familiar. The mind always adheres to the known. The unknown is dangerous because it has no control over it. That's why the mind dislikes and ignores the present moment. Eckhart Tolle painfulmindpast Love is a state of Being. Your love is not outside; it is deep within you. You can never lose it, and it cannot leave you. It is not dependent on some other body, some external form.

Instead, you can be present as the awareness behind the thoughts and emotions. Eckhart Tolle eventsemotionover-you Be aware of your breathing. Notice how this takes attention away from your thinking and creates space. Eckhart Tolle breathingspacethinking You are the sky. The clouds are what happens, what comes and goes. Eckhart Tolle encouraginghard-timesuplifting The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but thought about it. Be aware of the thoughts you are thinking. Separate them from the situation, which is always neutral. It is as it is. Eckhart Tolle spirituallive-in-the-momentthinking Do not pollute your beautiful, radiant Being nor the Earth with negativity. Do not give unhappiness in any form whatsoever a dwelling place inside you. Eckhart Tolle dwelling-placebeautifulgiving Once you have identified with some form of negativity, you do not want to let it go, and on a deeply unconscious level, you do not want positive change. It would threaten your identity as a depressed, angry or hard-done by person. You will then ignore, deny or sabotage the positive in your life. This is a common phenomenon. It is also insane. Eckhart Tolle negativitylet-it-goinsane The mind is essentially a survival machine. Attack and defense against other minds, gathering, storing, and analyzing information - this is what it is good at, but it is not at all creative. All true artists, whether they know it or not, create from a place of no-mind, from inner stillness. Eckhart Tolle survivalcreativeartist The beginning of freedom is the realization that you are not “the thinker.” The moment you start watching the thinker, a higher level of consciousness becomes activated. You then begin to realize that there is a vast realm of intelligence beyond thought, that thought is only a tiny aspect of that intelligence. You also realize that all the things that truly matter – beauty, love, creativity, joy, inner peace – arise from beyond the mind. You begin to awaken. Eckhart Tolle creativityspiritualjoy Suffering is necessary until you realize it is unnecessary. Eckhart Tolle unnecessaryrealizingsuffering The key is to be in a state of permanent connectedness with your inner body - to feel it at all times. This will rapidly deepen and transform your life. The more consciousness you direct into the inner body, the higher its vibrational frequency becomes. Eckhart Tolle keysmeditationspiritual Give up defining yourself - to yourself or to others. You won't die. You will come to life. And don't be concerned with how others define you. When they define you, they are limiting themselves, so it's their problem. Whenever you interact with people, don't be there primarily as a function or a role, but as the field of conscious Presence. You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are. Eckhart Tolle spiritualinspirationallife
