Eckhart Tolle
Thinking and Consciousness
"Thinking and consciousness are not synonymous. Thinking is only a small aspect of consciousness. Thought cannot exist without consciousness, but consciousness does not need thought."
Two of Me
"If I cannot live with myself, there must be two of me."
Things that Truly Matter
"All the things that truly matter — beauty, love, creativity, joy, inner peace — arise from beyond the mind."
Fresh and Creative Thinking
"Whenever an answer, a solution, or a creative idea is needed, stop thinking for a moment by focusing attention on your inner energy field. ...When you resume thinking, it will be fresh and creative."
Fully Present
"You cannot be both unhappy and fully present in the Now."
The Evolution of your Consciousness
"Life will give you whatever experience is most helpful for the evolution of your consciousness. How do you know this is the experience you need? Because this is the experience you are having at this moment."
Being Present Now
"Nothing ever happened in the past that can prevent you from being present now; and if the past cannot prevent you from being present now, what power does it have?"
Dreamer
"If there were nothing but thought in you, you wouldn’t even know you are thinking. You would be like a dreamer who doesn’t know he is dreaming. When you know you are dreaming, you are awake within the dream."
What does Life want from Me?
"Instead of asking 'What do I want from life?', a more powerful question is, 'What does life want from me?'"
