Eckhart Tolle Quotes

I believe in the cosmos. All of us are linked to the cosmos.

There are two different conceptions about the nature of the universe: (1) the world as a unity dependent on humanity; (2) the world as a reality independent of the human factor.

We - each of us - are intricately, irremovably connected to the larger universe.

We are in the cosmos and the cosmos is in us.

But in reality we are accompanied by the whole dancing universe.

The fabric of existence weaves itself whole.

You are the universe, you aren't in the universe.

The world is given to me only once, not one existing and one perceived. Subject and object are only one. The barrier between them cannot be said to have broken down as a result of recent experience in the physical sciences, for this barrier does not exist.

The soul is neither inside nor outside the body; neither proximate to nor separate from it.

Man is unable to see himself entirely unrelated to mankind, neither is he able to see mankind unrelated to life, nor life unrelated to the universe.

You must stop seeing God as separate from you, and you as separate from each other. [...] Nothing exists in the universe that is separate from anything else. Everything is intrinsically connected, irrevocably interdependent, interactive, interwoven into the fabric of all of life.

Love is the recognition of oneness in the world of duality.

I am a great fan of the universe, which I take literally: as one. All of it interests me, and it interests me in detail.

The world is not divided into two types of being, one superior and the other merely surrounding it. Being, nature, the universe - they are all one infinitely complex and mysterious metaorganism of which we are but a part, though a unique one.

We are the universe pretending to be individuals.

Creation is all things and us. It is us in relationship with all things. All things, the ones we see and the ones we do not; the whirling galaxies and the wild suns, the black holes and the microorganisms, the trees and the stars, the fish and the whales - the molten lava and the towering snow-capped mountains, the children we give birth to and their children, and theirs, and theirs, and theirs.

As we are - the world is.

For when you see that the universe cannot be distinguished from how you act upon it, there is neither fate nor free will, self nor other. There is simply one all-inclusive Happening, in which your personal sensation of being alive occurs in just the same way as the river flowing and the stars shining far out in space. There is no question of submitting or accepting or going with it, for what happens in and as you is no different from what happens as it.

All things in this vast universe exist in you, with you, and for you.

There are times when I catch myself believing that there is such a thing as something; which is separate from something else.

When we're identified with Awareness, we're no longer living in a world of polarities. Everything is present at the same time.

The oneness of the universe, and the oneness of each element of the universe, repeat themselves to the crack of doom in the creative advance from creature to creature, each creature including in itself the whole of history and exemplifying the self-identity of things and their mutual diversities.

Any particle in this universe can change in relation to any other particle; but take the whole universe as one.

All things in this creation exist within you and all things in you exist in creation; there is no border between you and the closest things, and there is no distance between you and the farthest things, and all things, from the lowest to the loftiest, from the smallest to the greatest, are within you as equal things.

Ultimately, the entire universe...has to be understood as a single undivided whole.
