  • People don't realize that now is all there ever is; there is no past or future except as memory or anticipation in your mind.
    - Eckhart Tolle
  • Boredom, anger, sadness, or fear are not 'yours,' not personal. They are conditions of the human mind. They come and go. Nothing that comes and goes is you.
    - Eckhart Tolle
  • People tend to dwell more on negative things than on good things. So the mind then becomes obsessed with negative things, with judgments, guilt and anxiety produced by thoughts about the future and so on.
    - Eckhart Tolle
  • 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
  • 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
  • The mind is a superb instrument if used rightly. Used wrongly, however, it becomes very destructive. To put it more accurately... you usually don't use it at all. It uses you.
    - Eckhart Tolle
  • You can always cope with the present moment, but you cannot cope with something that is only a mind projection - you cannot cope with the future.
    - Eckhart Tolle
  • 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
  • If 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 Tolle
