Eckhart Tolle

Let me show you how to go more deeply into what you already have.

Your mind is an instrument, a tool. It is there to be used for a specific task, and when the task is completed, you lay it down.

How to stop creating time? Realize deeply that the present moment is all you ever have. Make the Now the primary focus of your life.

Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it. Always work with it, not against it. Make it your friend and ally, not your enemy. This will miraculously transform your whole life

The more you are focused on time past and future the more you miss the Now, the most precious thing there is

Life is now. There was never a time when your life was not now, nor will there ever be. Secondly

What you think of as the past is a memory trace, stored in the mind, of a former Now. When you remember the past, you reactivate a memory trace and you do so now.

The future is an imagined Now, a projection of the mind. When the future comes, it comes as the Now. When you think about the future, you do it now.

Past and future obviously have no reality of their own. Just as the moon has no light of its own, but can only reflect the light of the sun, so are past and future only pale reflections of the light, power, and reality of the eternal present. Their reality is “borrowed” from the Now

Guilt, regret, resentment, grievances, sadness, bitterness, and all forms of nonforgiveness are caused by too much past, and not enough presence.
