By watching the mechanics of the mind, you step out of its resistance patterns, and you can then allow the present moment to be.
Eckhart TolleSome people say, the world can be so alive! It always is, you just do not know it because of the screen of your thinking. You notice it as you become more awake.
Eckhart TolleBefore I wrote The Power of Now, I had a vision that I had already written the book and that it was affecting the world. I had a sense there was already a book somehow in existence. I drew a circle on a piece of paper and it said "book." Then I wrote something about the effect the book had on the world, how it influenced my life and other people's lives, and how it came to be translated into many languages affecting hundreds of thousands of people.
Eckhart TolleSome people thought I was crazy to have let go of all the worldly things I had "achieved." They didn't understand that I didn't want or need any of that anymore.
