Below follows some of my favorite quotations from the spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle. He is the author of the books The Power of Now and A New Earth. His teachings have helped me through some of the darkest times of my life. If these sound interesting check out his books or watch many videos of his teachings on YouTube:
“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.” – Eckhart Tolle
“Your inner purpose is to awaken. It is as simple as that. You share that purpose with every other person on the planet – because it is the purpose of humanity.” – Eckhart Tolle
“How to be at peace now? By making peace with the present moment. The present moment is the field on which the game of life happens. It cannot happen anywhere else.” – Eckhart Tolle
“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.” – Eckhart Tolle
“The soul is your innermost being. The presence that you are beyond form. The consciousness that you are beyond form, that is the soul. That is who you are in essence.” – Eckhart Tolle
