Being aware of your breath forces you into the present moment - the key to all inner transformation. Whenever you are conscious of the breath, you are absolutely present. You may also notice that you cannot think and be aware of your breathing. Conscious breathing stops your mind.
Eckhart TolleYou can have religion with spirituality. You can also have religion without spirituality.
Eckhart TolleWe would destroy ourselves and the planet if no change happens, because of the amplification of the egoic state through science and technology.
Eckhart TolleAre you polluting the world or cleaning up the mess? You are responsible for your inner space; nobody else is, just as you are responsible for the planet. As within, so without: If humans clear inner pollution, then they will also cease to create outer pollution.
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 Tolle
