Quotes from Eckhart Tolle

Me encanta la sencilla definición de la iluminación dada por Buda como "el fin del sufrimiento". No hay nada sobrehumano en esto, ¿cierto? Por supuesto, como toda definición, es incompleta. Sólo dice lo que la iluminación no es: no es sufrimiento. ¿Pero qué queda cuando ya no hay sufrimiento? El Buda no habla sobre esto y su silencio implica que usted tiene que averiguarlo por sí mismo.

Do not give all your attention away to the mind and the external world. By all means focus on what you are doing, but feel the inner body at the same time whenever possible. Stay rooted within. Then observe how this changes your state of consciousness and the quality of what you are doing. Please don't just accept or reject what I am saying. Put it to the

The very reason for our existence in human form is to bring that dimension of consciousness into this world.

This is most people's reality: As soon as something is perceived, it is named, interpreted, compared with something else, liked, disliked, or called good or bad by the phantom self, the ego. They are imprisoned in thought forms, in object consciousness.

The more we learn about the workings of the body, the more we realize just how vast is the intelligence at work within it and how little we know. When the mind reconnects with that, it becomes a most wonderful tool. It then serves something greater than itself.

about 80 to 90 percent of most people's thinking is not only repetitive and useless, but because of its dysfunctional and often negative nature, much of it is also harmful. Observe your mind and you will find this to be true. It causes a serious leakage of vital energy.

To offer no resistance to life is to be in a state of grace, ease, and lightness.

Your mind is an instrument, a tool. It is there to be used for a specific task, and when the task is completed, you lay it down. As it is, I would say about 8o to 90 percent of most people's thinking is not only repetitive and useless, but because of its dysfunctional and often negative nature, much of it is also harmful.

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. The mind then gives form to the creative impulse or insight. Even the great scientists have reported that their creative breakthroughs came at a time of mental quietude.

You keep your unhappiness alive by giving it time. That is its lifeblood.

Die to the past every moment.

So if you inhabit the inner body, the outer body will grow old at a much slower rate, and even when it does, your timeless essence will shine through the outer form, and you will not give the appearance of an old person.

Este ruido mental incesante nos impide encontrar ese reino de quietud interior que es inseparable del Ser. También crea un falso ser hecho por la mente que arroja una sombra de temor y de sufrimiento.

Even if blame seems more than justified, as long as you blame others, you keep feeding the pain-body with your thoughts and remain trapped in your ego. 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.

Women are regaining the function that is their birthright and, therefore, comes to them more naturally than it does to men: to be a bridge between the manifested world and the Unmanifested, between physicality and spirit.

USTED NO ES SU MENTE

The quality of your consciousness at this moment is what shapes the future

Just as space enables all things to exist and just as without silence there could be no sound, you would not exist without the vital formless dimension that is the essence of who you are. We could say God if the word had not been so misused. I prefer to call it Being. Being is prior to existence. Existence is form, content, what happens. Existence is the foreground of life; Being is the background, as it were.

En el momento en que usted acepte completamente su falta de paz, se transmutará en paz. Ese es el milagro de la entrega.

When the mind is running your life, conflict, strife, and problems are inevitable.

You cannot fight against the ego and win, just as you cannot fight against darkness. The light of consciousness is all that is necessary. You are that light.

You forgot your main purpose. One small error, one misperception, creates a world of suffering.

If you think you are so enlightened, Ram Dass said, go and spend a week with your parents. That is good advice. The relationship with your parents is not only the premordial relationship that sets the tone for all subsequent relationships, it is also a good test for your degree of Presence. The more shared past there is in a relationship, the more present you need to be; otherwise you will be forced to relive the past again and again.

It is the essence of all galaxies and blades of grass;
