Eckhart Tolle: Being

“Some changes look negative on the surface but you will soon realize that space is being created in your life for something new to emerge.”

“Is there a difference between happiness and inner peace? Yes. Happiness depends on conditions being perceived as positive; inner peace does not.”

“Being spiritual has nothing to do with what you believe and everything to do with your state of consciousness.”

“Being must be felt. It can't be thought.”

“In today's rush we all think too much, seek too much, want too much and forget about the joy of just Being.”

“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.”

“Become conscious of being conscious.”

“Knowing yourself is to be rooted in Being, instead of lost in your mind.”

“Die to the past every moment. You don't need it. Only refer to it when it is absolutely relevant to the present. Feel the power of this moment and the fullness of Being. Feel your presence.”

“When another recognizes you, that recognition draws the dimension of Being more fully into this world through both of you. That is the love that redeems the world.”

“Doing is never enough if you neglect Being.”

“Rather than being your thoughts and emotions, be the awareness behind them.”

“Those who have not found their true wealth, which is the radiant joy of Being and the deep, unshakable peace that comes with it, are beggars, even if they have great material wealth.”

“◦"At the deepest level of Being, you are one with all that is”

“The pas has no power to stop you from being present now. Only your grievance about the past can do that.”

“… there are two ways of being unhappy. Not getting what you want is one. Getting what you want is the other.”

“Right now we are being given the experience we need to raise our consciousness.”

“Whenever you meet anyone, no matter how briefly, do you acknowledge their being by giving them your full attention, or are you reducing them to a means to an end, a mere function or role. What is the quality of your relationship with the cashier at the supermarket, the parking attendant, the repair man, the customer?”

“Listen to people's stories and they all could be entitled "Why I Cannot Be At Peace Now" The ego doesn't know that your only opportunity for being at peace is now.”
