Eckhart Tolle Power Quotations

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.

To complain is always nonacceptance of what is. It invariably carries an unconscious negative charge. When you complain, you make yourself into a victim. When you speak out, you are in your power. So change the situation by taking action or by speaking out if necessary or possible; leave the situation or accept it. All else is madness.

Power over others is weakness disguised as strength.

The mind is a superb instrument if used rightly. Used wrongly, however, it becomes very destructive. To put it more accurately... you usually don't use it at all. It uses you.

You can always cope with the present moment, but you cannot cope with something that is only a mind projection - you cannot cope with the future.

You cannot find yourself by going into the past. You can find yourself by coming into the present.

The more you are focused on time-past and future-the more you miss the Now, the most precious thing there is.

You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are.

There is only one perpetrator of evil on the planet: human unconsciousness. That realization is true forgiveness. With forgiveness, your victim identity dissolves, and your true power emerges--the power of Presence. Instead of blaming the darkness, you bring in the light.

When you are present, you can allow the mind to be as it is without getting entangled in it.

Don't get stuck on the level of words. A word is no more than a means to an end. It's an abstraction. Not unlike a signpost, it points beyond itself

Time isn't precious at all, because it is an illusion.

Stress is caused by being 'here' but wanting to be 'there'.

Neither failure nor success has the power to change your inner state of Being.

For what you do to others, you do to yourself.

If I cannot live with myself, there must be two of me

You cannot be both unhappy, and fully present in the Now.

Everything is shown up by being exposed to the light, and whatever is exposed to the light itself becomes light.

You believe that you are your mind. This is the delusion.

Man made God in his own image...

As you become present and thereby total in what you do, your actions become charged with spiritual power.

Forgive yourself for not being at peace.

When you are present, when your attention is fully and intensely in the Now, Being can be felt, but it can never be understood mentally.

...the relationship is here to make you conscious instead of happy.

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