Resistance is weakness and fear masquerading as strength. What the ego sees as weakness is your Being in its purity, innocence, and power. What it sees as strength is weakness.
Eckhart TolleGermany is a nation that created an enormous amount of suffering on the planet. The German people also themselves have suffered, because it always goes together.
Eckhart TolleWhen you live in complete acceptance of what is, that is the end of all drama in your life.
Eckhart TolleAlways say โyesโ to the present moment. What could be more futile, more insane, than to create inner resistance to what already is? what could be more insane than to oppose life itself, which is now and always now? Surrender to what is. Say โyesโ to life โ and see how life suddenly starts working for you rather than against you.
Eckhart TolleGive yourself completely to the act of listening. Beyond the sounds there is something greater, a sacredness that cannot be understood through thought.
Eckhart TolleMost people don't know how to listen because the major part of their attention is taken up by thinking. They pay more attention to that than to what the other person is saying, and none at all to what really matters: the Being of the other person underneath the words and the mind. Of course, you cannot feel someone else's Being except through your own. This is the beginning of the realization of oneness, which is love. At the deepest level of Being, you are one with all that is.
