Uncovering Religion

The Truth is inseparable from who you are. Yes, you are the Truth. If you look for it elsewhere, you will be deceived every time. ECKHART TOLLE, A New Earth

Uncovering Religion Dogmas--religious, political, scientific-- arise out of erroneous belief that thought can encapsulate reality or truth. Dogmas are collective conceptual prisons. And the strange thing is that people love their prison cells because they give them a sense of security and a false sense of "I know.” ECKHART TOLLE, Stillness Speaks

Uncovering Religion What is commonly called "falling in love" is in most cases an intensification of egoic wanting and needing. You become addicted to another person, or rather to your image of that person. It has nothing to do with true love, which contains no wanting whatsoever. ECKHART TOLLE, A New Earth

Uncovering Religion Death is a stripping away of all that is not you. The secret to life is to "die before you die"-- and find that there is no death. ECKHART TOLLE, The Power of Now

Uncovering Religion The past gives you an identity and the future holds the promise of salvation, of fulfillment in whatever form. Both are illusions. ECKHART TOLLE, The Power of Now

Uncovering Religion Love makes the world less worldly, less dense, more transparent to the divine dimension, the light of consciousness itself. ECKHART TOLLE, A New Earth

Uncovering Religion Time isn't precious at all, because it is an illusion. ECKHART TOLLE, The Power of Now

Uncovering Religion The eternal present is the space within which your whole life unfolds, the one factor that remains constant. Life is now. There was never a time when your life was not now, nor will there ever be. ECKHART TOLLE, The Power of Now

Uncovering Religion Neither failure nor success has the power to change your inner state of Being. ECKHART TOLLE, The Power of Now

Uncovering Religion To stay present in everyday life, it helps to be deeply rooted within yourself; otherwise, the mind, which has incredible momentum, will drag you along like a wild river. ECKHART TOLLE, The Power of Now

Uncovering Religion When you surrender to what is and so become fully present, the past ceases to have any power. You do not need it anymore. Presence is the key. Now is the key. ECKHART TOLLE, The Power of Now
