Wherever you are, be there totally. If you find your here and now intolerable and it makes you unhappy, you have three options: remove yourself from the situation, change it, or accept it totally. If you want to take responsibility for your life, you must choose one of those three options, and you must choose now. Then accept the consequences. Eckhart Tolle

To complain is always nonacceptance of what is. It invariably carries an unconscious negative charge. When you complain, you make yourself into a victim. When you speak out, you are in your power. So change the situation by taking action or by speaking out if necessary or possible; leave the situation or accept it. All else is madness. Eckhart Tolle

You Change Yourself Speak Madness Negative Power Situation Victim Action Complain Else Out Possible Carries Charge Invariably Unconscious Taking Make Accept Always Leave Your Speaking Necessary

When people get taken over by the ego to such an extent, there is nothing else in their mind except the ego. They can no longer feel or sense their humanity - what they share with other human beings, or even with other life forms on the planet. They are so identified with concepts in their minds that other human beings become concepts as well. Eckhart Tolle

Life Humanity People Ego Mind Become Sense Nothing Other Else Minds Life Forms Except Share Taken Feel Longer Over Concepts Identified Well Get Human Human Beings Forms Planet Beings Even Extent

Prejudice of any kind implies that you are identified with the thinking mind. It means you don't see the other human being anymore, but only your own concept of that human being. To reduce the aliveness of another human being to a concept is already a form of violence. Eckhart Tolle

You Human Being Mind Own Thinking Other Kind See Only Implies Concept Identified Another Reduce Any Human Being Anymore Form Prejudice Means Your Violence

Your entire life only happens in this moment. The present moment is life itself. Yet, people live as if the opposite were true and treat the present moment as a stepping stone to the next moment - a means to an end. Eckhart Tolle

To realize that you are not your thoughts is when you begin to awaken spiritually. Eckhart Tolle

Thoughts You Spiritually Begin Realize Your Awaken

In the egoic state, your sense of self, your identity, is derived from your thinking mind - in other words, what your mind tells you about yourself: the storyline of you, the memories, the expectations, all the thoughts that go through your head continuously and the emotions that reflect those thoughts. All those things make up your sense of self. Eckhart Tolle

Thoughts You Memories Yourself Emotions Words Mind Reflect Sense Thinking Other State Those Tells About Through Self Head Identity Make Make Up Go Continuously Up Expectations In Other Words Storyline Your Derived Things
