"When you are trapped in a nightmare,..." - Quote by Eckhart Tolle

“When you recognize that there is a voice in your head that pretends to be you and never stops speaking, you are awakening out of your unconscious identification with the stream of thinking. When you notice that voice, you realize that who you are is not the voice - the thinker - but the one who is aware of it.”

“I never went out and said, "I want to do this." I never do that. I wait for things to come to me, either within or without, and I go along with it.”

“When you are not honoring the present moment by allowing it to be, you are creating drama.”

“Rise up nimbly and go on your strange journey to the ocean of meanings.... Leave and don't look away from the sun as you go, in whose light you're sometimes crescent, sometimes full.”

“Out of the unreal shadows of night comes back the real life that we had known. We have to resume it where we had left off... p 207”

“The actual experience of awakening can only be in the present moment.”

“If to enjoy even an enjoyable present we must have the assurance of a happy future, we are “crying for the moon.” We have no such assurance. The best predictions are still matters of probability rather than certainty, and to the best of our knowledge every one of us is going to suffer and die. If, then, we cannot live happily without an assured future, we are certainly not adapted to living in a finite world where, despite the best plans, accidents will happen, and where death comes at the end.”

“A psychoneurosis must be understood, ultimately, as the suffering of a soul which has not discovered its meaning.”

“Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man.”
