The greater part of human pain is unnecessary. It is self-created as long as the unobserved mind runs your life.
Eckhart TolleIf the structures of the human mind remain unchanged, we will always end up re-creating the same world, the same evils, the same dysfunction.
Eckhart TolleIf you are in the habit of creating suffering for yourself, then you are probably creating suffering for others too
Eckhart TolleAll true artists, whether they know it or not, create from a place of no-mind, from inner stillness.
Eckhart TolleYou are not IN the universe, you ARE the universe, an intrinsic part of it. Ultimately you are not a person, but a focal point where the universe is becoming conscious of itself. What an amazing miracle.
Eckhart TolleThe great arises out of small things that are honored and cared for. Everybody's life really consists of small things. Greatness is a mental abstraction and a favorite fantasy of the ego. The paradox is that the foundation for greatness is the honoring of small things of the present moment instead of pursuing the idea of greatness.
Eckhart Tolle
