Eckhart Tolle idézet

oldal 5

„A múltnak nincs hatalma a jelen pillanat felett.”

„A boldogtalanság elsődleges oka soha nem a helyzet, hanem az ezzel kapcsolatos gondolataid.”

„Bármit is tartalmaz a jelen pillanat, fogadd el, mintha magad választottad volna azt!”

„Néha a dolgok elengedése sokkal nagyobb erőt követel, mint a megvédésük vagy a hozzájuk való ragaszkodás.”

„Nem ritka az olyan ember, aki egész életét arra várva tölti, hogy elkezdjen élni.”

„Vedd észre, hogy a jelen pillanat minden, amid van. Legyen MOST az életed középpontja.”

„Az emberi fájdalom nagy része szükségtelen. Önmagad teremted, amíg a megfigyeletlen elme irányítja az életedet.”

„Én nem a gondolataim, érzelmeim, érzékszervi észleléseim és tapasztalataim vagyok. Nem vagyok az életem tartalma. Én vagyok az Élet. Én vagyok a tér, amelyben minden dolog megvalósul. Én vagyok a tudatosság.”

„Te nem találhatod meg magad a múltban. Te csak azáltal találod meg magad, hogy belépsz a jelenbe.”

„Bármikor, amikor valami negatív dolog történik veled, egy mély lecke rejtőzik benne.”

„Bármi, amit másban nehezményezel és amire erősen reagálsz, benned is ott van.”

„Nem attól leszel jó, hogy megpróbálsz jó lenni, hanem attól, hogy megtalálod a jóságot, ami már benned van.”

„Nem azzal lelsz lelki békére, ha átrendezed életkörülményeidet, hanem ha fölismered, hogy ki is vagy valójában, a legmélyebb szinten.”

„Szeretni annyit jelent, hogy felismered magad egy másikban.”

„Az élet a táncos, te pedig a tánc.”

„Csak azt veszítheted el, ami birtokodban van. Nem veszítheted el azt, ami vagy.”

„Az emberiség legnagyobb vívmánya nem a művészeti, tudományos vagy technológiai alkotások, hanem saját működési zavarainak felismerése.”

“You are awareness, disguised as a person.”

“Emotions arise in the place where your mind and body meet”

“Man Made 'God' in his own image. The eternal, the infinate, the unnameable was reduced to a mental idol that you had to believe in and worship as 'my god' or 'our god'.”

“If you are in a state of intense presence you are free of thought, yet
highly alert. If your conscious attention sinks below a certain level, thought rushes in, the mental noise returns, stillness is lost, you're back in time.”

“Love, joy, and peace cannot flourish until you have freed yourself from mind dominance.”

“How do you let go of attachment to things? Don't even try. It's impossible. Attachment to things drops away by itself when you no longer seek to find yourself in them.”

“In essence, you are neither inferior nor superior to anyone. True self-esteem and true humility arise out of that realization. In the eyes of the ego, self-esteem and humility are contradictory. In truth, they are one and the same.”

“A significant portion of the earth's population will soon recognize, if they haven't already done so, that humanity is now faced with a stark choice: Evolve or die.”

“Life has no opposite. The opposite of death is birth. Life is eternal.”

“If uncertainty is unacceptable to you, it turns into fear. If it is perfectly acceptable, it turns into increased aliveness, alertness, and creativity.”

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

“The ego says, ‘I shouldn’t have to suffer,’ and that thought makes you suffer so much more. It is a distortion of the truth, which is always paradoxical. The truth is that you need to say yes to suffering before you can transcend it.”

“The more shared past there is in a relationship, the more present you need to be…”

“You cannot love your partner one moment and attack him or her the next.”

“The light is too painful for someone who wants to remain in darkness.”

“When this delusion of utter separateness underlies and governs whatever I think, say, and do, what kind of world do I create?”

“All artists, whether they know it or not create from a place of inner stillness, a place of no mind.”

“Acceptance of the unacceptable is the greatest source of grace in this world.”

“What the future holds for you depends on your state of consciousness now.”

“whatever you fight, you strengthyen. What you resist, persists. "A New Earth":War is a mind set”

“You are not your mind”

“Your presence, your consciousness”

“Presence is a state of inner spaciousness.”

“When you look at a tree, you are aware of the tree. When you have a thought or feeling, you are aware of that thought or feeling. When you have a pleasurable or painful experience, you are aware of that experience. These seem to be true and obvious statements. Yet if you look at them very closely, you will find that in a subtle way their very structure contains a fundamental illusion, an illusion which is unavoidable when you use language. Thought and language create an apparent duality and a separate person where there is none.
The truth is you are not somebody who is aware of the tree, the thought, feeling or experience. You are the awareness or consciousness in and by which those things appear. As you go about your life, can you be aware of yourself as the awareness in which the entire content of your life unfolds?”

““I am bored.” Who knows this?
“I am angry, sad, afraid.” Who knows this?
You are the knowing, not the condition that is known.”

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

“Instead of asking "what do I want from life?", a more powerful question is, "what does life want from me?"”

“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?”

“Many people live habitually as if the present moment were an obstacle that they need to overcome in order to get to the next moment, and imagine living your whole life like that. Always, this moment is not quite good enough because you need to get to the next one.”
